Welcome to The Card Concept!
For those of you who are new to our challenge, every two weeks we will post our inspiration photo challenge and hope that you will join us by creating a card for our challenge gallery.
Just a reminder, an inspiration photo is exactly that- a starting point for inspiration. Will it be the colors, the overall theme, the texture, the actual items and/or something else that will inspire your card?
Choose a design style (or combine styles), create a card, and in your blog post, let us know what inspired you from th
At the end of the challenge, our Design Team will choose one Main Winner and at least three Honorable Mentions. We will announce the winners here on our challenge blog, as well as our Facebook page and our new Pinterest board.
Again, as we mentioned above, 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!
In case you missed the link above, the styles are explained HERE.
Now for our Design Team's inspiration:
Esther's Inspiration: I was inspired by the theme
to create this Clean and Layered card.
Julie's Inspiration: I was inspired by all of the colors along
with the buckle on the "hat" to create a
Clean and Graphic/Layered card!
Michele's Inspiration: I love the fresh spring color palette,
and all things lucky and Irish, and added
them to my Freestyle Collage card!
Karen's Inspiration: I was inspired by the colors and
the floral bouquet to create my
Freestyle Collage card!
Nancy's Inspiration: All those beautiful florals set
against the color green, for a 'lotta layers' (my style!)
Classy and Elegant card!
LeAnne's Inspiration: The themed St. Patrick's vase and
the colors inspired me to ink up this little leprechaun
on my Clean and Layered card.
Mackie will be taking a break for a while and
will return as soon as she can!
Marcie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the pretty
flowers along with the green for my
Clean and Layered "Hugs" card!
Kim's Inspiration: My Clean and Layered card was
inspired by the colors, the dainty flowers and the
bold black hat band which I changed into a
bold black sentiment.
Anita's Inspiration: I was inspired to create the
Mixed Media card by the colors of green and the
metal tone of the buckle.
Betty's Inspiration: I was inspired by the yellow and
white flowers in the bouquet with the touch of
metallic with the buckle. I created a
Clean and Layered styled card.
The Card Concept Guidelines:
1. Use the challenge inspiration photo to create a card- no back linking.
2. Use one of the challenge styles to create a card (or if you prefer, combine a few styles).
3. Explain in a post which style or combination of styles you used and what inspired you from our photo.
4. Link your post using our linky (please link to the actual post on your blog and not just your blog) and please display our inspiration photo in your blog post.
5. We do not mind if you combine our challenge with others, but please do not combine ours with another inspiration challenge.
6. Please try to comment on the cards ahead of you and behind you in the linky. Everyone loves comments!

FYI- We have noticed that recently a few of our entrants are not following our guidelines, especially #3 , #4 and #5(see above).
We have had to disqualify many entries lately and would love to be able to include all into our voting for Winner/HM!
If you would like to be included in our entries for possible Winner or Honorable Mention, please make sure you include our inspiration photo in your blog post, link to our challenge site and do not include any other inspiration challenges. Thanks again for playing along with us!
