THE CARD CONCEPT #213 WINTER SOLACE

 Hello Crafty Friends! Welcome to a Wonderful New Year of challenges at The Card Concept. 

We have a beautiful photo, with a very serene scene, to spark your creativity.

I used patterned paper and a sentiment stamp to create this monochrome Vintage style collage.

Remember, an inspiration photo is exactly that- a starting point for inspiration. Will it be the colours, the overall theme, the texture, the actual items and/or something else that will inspire your card? 

I hope you'll visit The Card Concept Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the team has created and will be inspired to play along in the challenge with us. 

Choose a design style (or combine styles), create a card, and in your blog post, let us know what inspired you from the photo, what style and/or styles you chose and don't forget to display our inspiration photo and link back to our challenge.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog! I love to read your comments:)

                                            

Penny Black Saturday Challenge Jan'25

   Hey there! Welcome to the first Penny Black Saturday Challenge for 2025. 

Our theme this month is 'ANYTHING GOES or the optional twist 'SOMETHING NEW'.

I actually made something new from an rejected panel. I didn't like the colouring of the whole stamped image, so I fussy cut the bits I liked and made 2 tags. 

The stamp is called Penny Black Alluring Arrangement.

I used Zig and Karin Markers 

The prize for this challenge is provided by our generous sponsor

Prize - $20 voucher!

If you'd like to be considered for a guest designer spot for a future challenge, please add 'GDT' after your name on the link-up...and remember to check back to see if you've been chosen!

 You can see more inspiration from our talented Guest,  Greta from GG Creations and the rest of the DT at our blog. I hope you have the opportunity to join us.
