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.
This challenge is our double challenge - the second challenge of every month, we are posting two challenge photos! You can choose whichever photo you prefer, or 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.
With Father's Day on the horizon, we chose a more masculine style inspiration but you do not need to create a Father's Day card. You may decide to use just the colors, textures, etc.
Remember, 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 inspiration photo (and which photo you chose). Also, please let us know 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.
Now for our Design Team's inspiration:
Esther's Inspiration: My Mixed Media card was
inspired by the gears and clocks in the
197a Industrial Modern Inspiration Board.
Kerry's Inspiration: My Mixed Media card was
inspired by the cogs and rusty metal of the
197a Industrial Modern option.
Julie's Inspiration: I was inspired by both photos - the textures
and colors of the Industrial Modern and the images of the
Nature Calls for my slightly shabby Clean and Layered card.
Michele's Inspiration: I was inspired by the 197b Nature Calls
photo to create my Clean and Layered back to
nature card. I love the woodsy palette, the dark oak
leaves, and a tiny white feather.
Karen's Inspiration: I was inspired by the
colors in photo 197a Industrial Modern
for my Clean and Layered card.
Karen's Inspiration: My Clean and Layered card
was inspired by Nature Calls (197b) and
all the fish.
Jenny's Inspiration: I was inspired by the #197a photo
and colours to make a Clean and Layered
Industrial style card.
Nancy's Inspiration: The divided panels inspired my Clean and Layered under the sea birthday card.
