The Card Concept Challenge # - Red, White & Blue

Welcome my stampy friends to a new challenge starting today at the

THE CARD CONCEPT!

Here is our new Inspiration Photo:

Perfect for the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend!

I hope all of you have great plans for this long weekend!

(Maybe a little stamping with our challenge???)

You might not have ever seen blue and red watermelons before...but I thought they were so cute and perfect for this challenge!

And watermelon is my FAVORITE summertime food!!!!!

My card was created with an older stamp and die set from PaperTrey ink. I have always loved these dies and the big bold statements of the stamp set. I don't think it shows up in the photos, but the sentiment has been heat embossed with some Navy Blue embossing powder.

I hope I have inspired you to join our challenge!

I love seeing all of your beautiful creations!

We want you to have fun with our inspiration!

Here's how you can join us:
