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.
Before we proceed with our inspiration photos, we wanted to say farewell to our Design Team member, Kim Singdahlsen.
She will be stepping down from our Design Team to enjoy her upcoming retirement and spend more time with her family.
We will miss Kim's beautiful cards and wish her all the best in the future!
On to our new challenge- this challenge is our mid-month double challenge! The second challenge of every month, we are posting two challenge photos and you can choose whichever photo you prefer, or if you are able, you could create two separate cards, one for each photo!
We hope this new option will be one that you enjoy as much as we do- our Designers will let you know which one they decided as well.
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!
So come and join us! We'd love for you to try your hand at a brand new style of card making or feel free to work in your comfort zone. It is totally up to you!
In case you missed the link above, the styles are explained HERE.
