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 the photo, what style and/or styles you chose and don't forget to display our inspiration photo and link back to our challenge :-)
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 several things in the photo
(stripes, oar, lantern, trees) when I created this
square Mixed Media card.
figure on the table (near the canoe) as well as the textures
and colors to create a simple Mixed Media card!
Michele's Inspiration: I was inspired by a mountain lake
vacation theme, and some of the colors in the photo
for my Clean and Layered bold card.
Karen's Inspiration: I was inspired by the trees
in the photo and the woodgrain for my
Clean and Layered Card.
Nancy's Inspiration: The lake painting and
masculine vibes inspired my
Clean and Layered card.
LeAnne's Inspiration: I was inspired by that little
metal picnic tin as well as the colors on the blanket
to create my Clean and Layered card!
Mackie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the
boathouse theme to create my
Clean and Layered style card!
Kim's Inspiration: My Clean and Layered card was
inspired by the striped blanket and by
the general theme of fishing.
Anita's Inspiration: I was inspired by the picture of
the lake and the lake itself for this
Clean and Layered card.
Betty's Inspiration: I was inspired by different
colors of buoys and textures. 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 the linky tool (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 gallery. Everyone loves comments!
The deadline to participate is
Monday, June 21st at 12:00 pm EST.
Our Challenge Winner and the Honorable Mentions will be announced on Wednesday, June 23rd.
We look forward to seeing your artwork in our gallery!
