This is my second post today!
I have the great thrill and honor of being the September guest at The Card Concept. It is a fabulous challenge that gives an inspiration photo, then uses the inspiration in different card styles. Their defined card styles are: Clean and Simple, Clean and Layered, Shabby Chic and Vintage, Clean and Graphic, and Freestyle Collage. I was asked to be a "Clean and Layered" guest which describes my style perfectly!
- Clean lines
- Lots of layers
- Designer papers/embossing
- Embellishments/accents
- Clean and fresh looking
- Some colored images at times
- White space
This is the inspiration for the new challenge:
I didn't venture too far away from the graphic with my flowers and colors. When I first looked at the photo, I got the impression that the box of flowers was sitting on a newspaper. Now that I look again, I don't think it is - but I'm happy it sent me looking for my black strip of print paper.
I'm hoping my card fits right into the Clean and Layered definition!! Definitely clean lines, a few layers, some patterns, twine and sequins, some coloring, lots of white space...check!!
I think most of us have already discovered The Card Concept, but if not be sure to check it out. Even if you don't play along, it's a great place to browse and to figure out the styles that work for you.
