Welcome to The Card Concept! Every two weeks we post our inspiration photo challenge and hope that you will join us by creating a card for our challenge gallery.
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 designers 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!
The styles are explained HERE.
Now for the design team's inspiration:
Tangii Crain
Tangii's Inspiration: I was inspired by the wonderfully
warm colors and the layout of those pillows on the sofa.
My Clean and Layered card is full of those colors
and there's plenty of "love" too!
Julie Gearinger
Julie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the colors as well as
the different patterns to create a Shabby Chic Valentine!
Michele K. Henderson
Michele's Inspiration: I was so inspired by the bold color
combination, along with the lines and shapes, and
brought them into my Clean and Graphic card.
Kim Lackenbach
Kim's Inspiration: I tried to keep my Clean and Layered card
mostly light with a heart and text like the inspiration photo.
Nancy Penir
Nancy's Inspiration: Red and white standing out against
the black and white. Contrast and design for a
Clean and Layered card.
Maureen Plut
Maureen's Inspiration: My Clean and Layered card was
inspired by the colours and the word "Love."
Susan Powell
Susan's Inspiration: My Clean and Simple card was
inspired by the letters and the overall theme of love.

Angel's Inspiration: My Clean and Simple card was
inspired by the bold print on those fun pillows!

Mackie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the colors and
Valentine theme for my my Clean & Simple style card!

inspired by the pretty monogrammed pillow with the stitching.

hearts and elegant font for this
