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 poinsettias to
create this festive Mixed Media card.
Kerry's Inspiration: The poinsettias, greenery
and wood paneling inspired my Mixed Media card!
Julie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the rust colors as well
as the Christmas theme to create a coppery
vintage style Mixed Media card!
Michele's Inspiration: I was inspired by the big red poinsettias
and the rustic animals of the lodge in my
Freestyle Collage card.
Karen's Inspiration:I was inspired by the Poinsettias in the
photo along with the colors for my Mixed Media card.
Nancy's Inspiration: All the rustic holiday patterns, the large
tin snowflake, and the colors inspired my
Clean and Layered card.
LeAnne is taking a break for this challenge
and will be back with us soon!
Mackie's Inspiration: I was inspired to create my
Mixed Media style card by the vintage feel of
the inspiration photo.
Kim's Inspiration: My Clean and Layered card was
inspired by the warm and rustic colors,
patterns and textures
Anita's Inspiration: I was inspired by the colors,
the fireplace and the seating area for this
Clean and Layered Card!
Betty's Inspiration: I was inspired by the rustic theme,
colors, and textures. I created a Shabby and Vintage
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 29th at 12:00 pm EST.
We look forward to seeing your artwork in our gallery!
