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 :-)
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 pine branches
when I created my Clean and Layered card.
Julie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the Nordic patterns
on the cups as well as the colors and overall themes
to create a Clean and Layered card!
Michele's Inspiration: I found a lot of fun elements for my
inspiration this week, like the remaining Christmas greenery,
the berries, the colors, and the inviting cup of cocoa!
]I threw them all into a Clean and Layered/
Freestyle Collage card.
Karen's Inspiration: I was inspired by the colors and
the theme for my Clean & Layered Card

the warmth indoors when days are cold.
Nancy's Inspiration: The warm cuppa, heavenly in the
winter setting inspired my lotsa layers (my term!)
Elegant and Classy card.
