Well here we are with the first challenge for The Card Concept!
Our first challenge is a colour challenge, so you as a participant use the colours to create your card and then create your card based on one of the six defined styles from The Card Concept. I am one of the Clean & Simple Designers for The Card Concept and here is my card based on the colours. Inspired by these colours I made a smaller card (4 1/4" x 4 1/4") which I added a stitched square to that was slightly smaller. I used a smaller image and sentiment and then added some enamel dots to add interest without clutter.
I added another cute sentiment to the inside of the card...
Head on over to The Card Concept blog to see all of the lovely inspiration from the designers, find a design style that you think you are or want to try and join in the fun, we can't wait to see what you decide to do!

I'm so glad you're on this DT, Tracey! What a perfect way to start out the New Year! Your card is the very essence of CAS. Love it a latte. (sorry...) Bev
Perfect lady to be teaching CAS design! Love this. The little pink heart steam is a sweet touch!
Oh my, Tracey, but I am completely smitten with this card, so much so that I *must* order those stamps! I hope you don't mind if I case this, as my sister-in-law (of the 90 tags request fame), also needs a bunch of thank you cards. My order won't happen until March at the earliest, so until then, I'll just be swooning over this stunning delight! You're awesome!

Tracey, my CAS-Card-Hero, this card I love a latte!! It is soo delightful.
I'm sorry I haven't been around as much as normal. I've just spent some blissful time catching up with you and your works of art! But I'm terribly sorry to hear what your daughter went through with the allergy. That must have been so scary for all of you. I pray she is now well.
I hope you are feeling well, too. Here's to a 2014 that finds our chronic illnesses quiet and subdued!! Hugs, Darnell
What an amazing card, love a latte right about now, please. This is just beautiful and those colors are fabulous. Your fussy cutting is perfect too, I will be cas'ing you on this one!
Hi Tracey! I'm so excited to see this challenge up and running...and your CAS card is wonderful! I adore that cup and the coordinating sentiment inside. So perfect in every way!
Hi Tracey. You represent Clean and Simple so beautifully. I love your paper pieced and stamped cup. A perfect take on the Challenge colours. Happy creating.
T- the DP you chose and the heart steam in pink makes me swoon! AND I love anything coffee related. :)
I totally love this card Tracey! I've just literally taken the last mouthful of my morning coffee so this card really appeals to me!
What a great CAS card, Tracey. Your cards are so so CAS and you have a knack for making every element count. I love the stitched border on this one and the sweet paper piecing. So glad to be on the team with you!
Sweet and simple, love this sweet coffee themed card and the stitched border adds a lovely little extra. Oh, and the inside sentiment too!
