Welcome to The Card Concept! Every two weeks we post our inspiration photo challenge and hope that you will join us and create a card for our challenge gallery.
Before we show our inspiration photo for this challenge, we would like to say farewell to Kim Heggins. She is stepping down from The Card Concept Design Team and we will miss her for sure!! We know that we will still see her lovely creations on her blog and wish her all of the best!
Now, on to our {Blossoms in Blue} Challenge!! What will inspire you from this gorgeous photo? The dress, the flowers, the colors, the fur? We cannot wait to see what you design!
Please feel free to use any of the styles we have defined or create your own with a combination of styles. We want you to have fun with our inspiration!
Our design team members will also be selecting a style (or combination of styles) and will explain how they were inspired by the challenge. So come and join us! We'd love you to try your hand at a brand new style of card making or feel free to work in your comfort zone. It is totally up to you!

Robin Messenheimer
Robin's Inspiration: I found myself inspired by the lovely
sprigs of cherry blossoms on that beautiful turquoise
background. The white behind the dress and flowers made
them pop, so I made it a part of my Clean and Layered card, too.
