Hello! It's time for a new challenge here at
The Card Concept !!!!
And just look as this GORGEOUS inspiration photo!
I was immediately inspired by the rich colors of the flowers against the gray chair.
I used one of my newer Stampin Up stamps-Avant Garden.
I wanted to try a technique that I saw on the Penny Black blog. She colors her stamps
with Distress Markers, and then blends each image with a water brush. It gives this cool watercolor look. I really like the results!
Each designer chooses a different style of card to make!
All of the styles are explained HERE.
You can use any of the styles we have defined or create your own with a combination of styles.
This week I chose the Clean and Layered style:
- clean lines
- lots of layers
- designer papers/embossing
- embellishments/accents
- clean and fresh looking
- some coloured images at times
- white space
I hope you will be inspired to join us here at
And don't forget to visit my very talented team mates for some gorgeous inspiration!
