The Card Concept 1

Hi friends!
I'm so excited to share a new challenge blog with you
called The Card Concept.
It's a bi-weekly challenge blog with 
several very talented designers to inspire (VERY talented!),
and this is their very1st challenge!
Here's the challenge photo:

It's as simple as using the photo's colors
and choosing one of 6 style themes.

I'm a layering girl, so when I saw one of the styles was Clean and Layering,
I was in!
I quickly connected to Kay and Kerin with their lovely layered samples.

My card features Lil Inkers Stitched cover plate layered over a pink pattern paper, all over 
PTI's Melon Berry cardstock.

And then more layers!
Happy Birthday medallion: PTI 2012 Birthday Tags
Ink: PTI Smokey Shadow
Cork border: Spellbinders Nestibilities Labels 4
Bigger Blooms &Turning a New Leaf dies: PTI
I'm absolutely smitten with the new Lunette and Oriel Butterfly dies from Memory Box!

I spritzed the wings with some Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst 'Teeth Chattering Teal'
for a bit of shimmer.


Had some fun layering the clear embossed posies around.
Added some Stickles to the centers of a few of them.

Sorry about the long post, but I couldn't take a bad picture today.
How often does that happen?!?!?!

Be sure to visit The Card Concept, and see what style you would create.


There's a PS!
I'm awed by the challen'gees' 
Wow there are some gorgeous entries!

PPS, Possible Classy & Elegant? Hard to decide.
Thanks Cathy for clarifying a bit!
