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, our 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 the pillow
to create this Clean and Layered card.
Kerry's Inspiration: All those luscious apples and the
colours inspired my Clean and Simple card.
Julie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the fall colors for
my Clean and Layered Mixed Media card and could just
imagine seeing this scene from that gorgeous porch!
Michele's Inspiration: I was inspired by the comfy,
cozy fall room, the apples and leaves, and that big
bucket of fresh autumn blooms for my Freestyle Collage card.
Karen's Inspiration: I was inspired by the beautiful fall
colors and the sunflowers and apples in the photo
for my Clean and Layered card.
Nancy's Inspiration: The colors, and fall textures
inspired my Clean and Layered card.
LeAnne's Inspiration: I was inspired by the pillow and
the fall colors to create my Clean and Layered card.
Mackie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the apples to
create my Clean & Layered style card!
Kim's Inspiration: My Clean and Layered card was
inspired by the colors, the plaid, the woodgrain, the
lantern in the bottom corner and the beautiful sunflowers.
Anita's Inspiration: The colors, plaid and apples inspired
me to make two Mixed Media cards!
Betty's Inspiration: I was inspired by the flowers
and plaid pattern. 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 will be
Monday, November 1st at 12:00 pm EDT.
We look forward to seeing your artwork in our gallery!
