The Card Concept #81 {Rich Holiday}

Welcome to The Card Concept!  Every two weeks we post our inspiration photo challenge and hope that you will join in with us and create a card for our challenge gallery.  

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!

Our design team members will also be selecting a style (or combination of styles) and will explain how they were inspired by the challenge.  So come and join us!  We'd love 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!

The styles are explained HERE.

Christmas table gave me a push to create some 
quick Clean and Simple cards perfect for mailing.
