Cozy Comfort with The Card Concept

Hello Crafty Friends!

You picked a great day to drop in on The Card Concept this week! We’ve got some beautiful designs to keep you warm and cozy during this chilly February that you are going to love! You can find more great ideas and inspiration, and play along with our challenges this week over on The card Concept blog right here https://thecardconcept.blogspot.com

I was inspired by Challenge 189a, Cozy Comfort. I love the bold color combo and the beautiful star design. This photo reminds me of my Great Grandmother, Frances, who made beautiful star quilts for all her children and grandchildren. I have seen her flawless star pattern quilts in bright rainbow colors on the beds of all my aunts and uncles and they will always remind me of her.

I used crisp snowy white, cheery red, smokey grey, and black to create a warm and cozy quilted star of my own, for a detailed Clean and Layered look. Now it’s your turn! Create a card in one of our styles and link it up over at The Card Concept!
