So we want to celebrate!!!!

Here is our great inspiration photo for you!

How exciting!!!!!


Here is my card:



I was inspired by the black and silver in the photo. The wreath was die cut in pretty silver glitter paper. The stars in white glitter paper. The wreath was then attached to a panel of black and white striped vellum paper. I attached all of this to a black card base. And finally, I added lots of sparkly sequins!

The Card Concept Challenge #51



Hello everybody!!!
Welcome to a NEW 
challenge here at
THE CARD CONCEPT!

Just look at this week's gorgeous inspiration photo!


I was inspired by those pretty pink eggs against the neutral background.



I made my Easter basket with circle dies and the Tim Holtz  Chevron die! Pretty cool, huh???
The gorgeous Easter eggs are from the SugarPea Designs Egg-A-Licious stamps. They are heat embossed with 2 different pink embossing powders!




I was really happy with the way this turned out!
I hope you are too, and will be inspired to play with this at The Card Concept!!!
