Month Five: Classic & Elegant Photo/Color Challenge

Welcome to the fifth month here at House of Cards!  We love seeing you push your limits and trying out new card making styles!  We hope you're loving it as much as we are!

It's the third week of the month, so we need you to create something in the Classic & Elegant style.  Think a greeting card from Hallmark.  These are not really cards that fit into any other category.  They usually feature floral or other classic elements.  Less embellishments than Shabby & Vintage or Fun & Cute, but more than CAS.  These cards also utilize clean lines and classic elements--distressing is not usually a part of the Classic & Elegant style.

And please combine the Classic & Elegant style with this~

We want you to be inspired by the photo, the colors, or both!  If you go with the colors, please choose at least 3.  Let your imagination take flight!  Some of us are in autumn, some in spring, so we tried to find a combo that would work for both seasons.  And perhaps even holiday cards?!

And now some inspiration from our team~

Winner, Month 5, Cute & Fun Challenge

Winner:  #4 KatheD.

PLEASE NOTE:  ALL WINNERS MUST FOLLOW OUR CHALLENGE RULES IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED FOR  TOP WINNER OR A SPOT IN OUR TOP FIVE.  Please review the rules at the end of each challenge post or in the tab up top.  Thank you.

There's still time to join in for the clean & Simple style challenge.  These cards use minimal or NO embellishment.  There should be lots of "white space" present on your card--open space with no stamping or anything else.  One layer cards are usually considered CAS as long as they are not covered in stamping.

Our current challenge for your crafting pleasure is the color/photo challenge above.
