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!

ReplyDeletePerfect lady to be teaching CAS design! Love this. The little pink heart steam is a sweet touch!
ReplyDeleteOh 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!

ReplyDeleteI'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
