Welcome to The Card Concept !
For those of you who are new to our challenge, every month we will post our inspiration photo challenge and hope that you will join us by creating a card for our challenge gallery.
If you would like to join us on Instagram, please follow us at our new IG acct- @thecardconceptchallenges2
Also, if you post on social media, please tag @thecardconceptchallenges2 and use the hashtag #tccxxx (xxx=challenge # for ex: this challenge would be #tcc224).
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.
Now for our Design Team's inspiration:
Julie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the monochromatic green
theme and the white in the tablescape items to create a Mixed Media
card using items from my stash along with a stamp from 2006.
Michele's taking a break for this challenge!
Jolanda's Inspiration: I was inspired by the colors
(loving the green tones) and the shapes of the plates
which made me think of the Gears & Textures Dies set
to create a fun masculine Clean and Graphic card.
Karen's Inspiration: I was inspired by the
monochromatic theme and the greenery
in the photo for my Clean and Layered card.
Karen's card is on the way!
Jennie's Inspiration: I was inspired by the white and
green colors, the greenery and the plaid to create a
Clean and Layered St. Patrick's Day card.
Karen's Inspiration: I was inspired by the colour
scheme this month for my Clean and Layered style card.
Tenia's card is on the way!
The deadline to participate will be
Monday, March 9th at 12:00 pm EDT.
We look forward to seeing your artwork in our gallery!
