It is July 1st and that means it is time for a new challenge called House of Cards. Here is how the challenge blog works--there will be a monthly color palette or sketch and then each week there will be a challenge for different card making styles using those parameters. If there is a 5th Monday in the month, there will be a photo inspiration and you can create using any card making style you'd like! There are four Designs Teams at House of Cards, one for each of four card making styles. They are Cute and Fun, Clean and Simple, Classic and Elegant, and Shabby and Vintage. I am so excited to be a part of the Cute and Fun Design Team. This challenge will always begin on the first Monday of each month. This month we have this beautiful color palette to use.
I have used this adorable image from Mo Manning called Cherry. I thought it would be the perfect image to go with the color of cherries. Here is a close up of Cherry:
