MackieMade Paper Creations: The Card Concept Challenge #196

Hello my stampy friends!

We have a new challenge starting today at the

CARD CONCEPT.

We have a patriotic theme because we are about to celebrate the beginning of summer this Memorial Day week-end.

Here is our photo inspiration:

I was inspired by the red, blue and white colors to create my

Clean & Elegant style card:

~Designer papers, embossing

~Clean lines

~Embellishments/accents

~Clean & Fresh looking

~Some colored images

~White space

Here is my card:

I created this fun pop up card with a cutting die from Pink & Main called Envelope Pop Up.

I had an older pattern paper collection in my stash from Doodle Bug called Land That I Love.

It was perfect for this challenge. I cut out several stars with red, blue and white glitter papers and foil papers. I attached them with strips of acetate so they could dance when the card is open.

I hope I have inspired you to join our challenge!

We love seeing all of your beautiful creations, and

we want you to have fun with your inspiration!
