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 the theme
when I created my Clean and Layered card.
inspired by the theme and colour palette.
Julie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the vintage cameo heart
embellishments as well as the colors for my
Shabby Chic and Vintage style card!
Michele's Inspiration: Nothing is more inspiring to me than
my favorite flower, pink tulips! I used bright colorful pinks
and black for my Clean and Layered card.
Karen's Inspiration: I was inspired by the colors,
the theme and the pretty tulips in the photo for
my Clean and Layered card.
Karen's Inspiration: My Shabby Chic/Vintage card

inspired my Clean and Graphic/Layered card.
Mackie's Inspiration: My Mixed Media style card was
inspired by the colors, the flowers and hearts.

heart boxes along the bottom.
Betty's taking a break-
please stop by her blog to say "hi"!
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, February 13th at 12:00 pm EST.
We look forward to seeing your artwork in our gallery!
