The Card Concept #37-The Butterfly Effect

Welcome to The Card Concept! Each week we offer up a challenge for you to try, and we hope that you will create a card in one of the styles we have offered here.  The team is divided into the different styles and each designer explains how they were inspired by the challenge!  So come and join us and try your hand at a brand new "style" of card making or work in your comfort zone, it is totally up to you!

Feel free to use any of the styles of our team or better yet, share you own style by combining one or more of the styles. We want you to have fun and make a card in a style that you feel good about!

The styles are explained HERE.

The designers have entered their cards below and they have explained the style they used and the way they were inspired...

June Clean and Graphic Guest Designer

Hannelie Bester 

This month we are focusing on Clean and Graphic designs. Clean & Graphic Designs are unmistakable--clear and to the point, minimal frill, images and lines that are bold and striking.  For the month of June we have talented Hannelie Bester joining us from across the globe. If you haven't visited her blog, Dessert Diva, you are in for a treat. Her designs stand out and pop off the page, always clean and simple with a graphic twist. We are thrilled to have the very sweet Hannelie joining us this month.
