April Challenge at The Card Concept

It's time for the April challenge at The Card Concept.  The inspiration photo is super sweet with soft pastels and sweet images.  We're all looking forward to seeing what you come up with when you look at this photo for your inspiration.  There were several elements that immediately caught my eye including the colors (pink, yellow, blue and green pastels), the cake/cupcakes, a party theme, etc.  What things pop into your creative mind when you look at the inspiration photo?

I used a sweet Crate Paper patterned paper for my base that I layered with white cardstock cut using the sweet Eyelet Rectangle Die Set from Pretty Pink Posh.  I stitched the eyelet holes with Solid Lemonwood Baker's Twine.  I rubbed the background of the white cardstock using a blending brush and Spun Sugar Oxide Ink.

All the other things on my card are stickers from Crate Paper.  I've got a HUGE stash of Crate Paper products that I tend to hoard a bit.  I was rather "lazy" in making this card by using only stickers and no real stamping, but it's still a fun card.  That's kinda the point with the challenges at The Card Concept.  You don't have to create anything super fancy, just whatever you're inspired to create when you look at the sweet photo (below).

I'm already excited to see what you'll create to share with us this month at The Card Concept.  It's one of my favorite things to see when I visit the blogs of those who play along in the challenges.  I so enjoy seeing how the photo inspired you and what products you used to make your card.  I also love how everyone sees something different and is inspired in a completely unique way according to the various artistic gifts given to us by our Creator, Jesus Christ.

Come play along with us this month at The Card Concept.  It's always more fun when everybody plays along.  Just look at the photo, think of a design, grab a few supplies, and come up with something to share with us.  I can't wait to see what you make.  Have a great week, everyone.  Thanks again for visiting me here today, and please pop back by again soon.  I look forward to your next visit.

Blessings,

Karen
