Each month the lovely Deborah of The Society of Stamp and Scrapaholics runs a Card Chain Challenge. I love receiving cards from fellow card makers so decided to play along!
...and was thrilled to receive this sweet card from Yvette in Belgium!
The idea is that you receive a fellow card maker's snail mail address, make her a card, and send it off. The next person on the list does the same thing with you, and so on. Each person makes a card for the person immediately above her in the chain, and the first person in the chain makes a card for the last person in the chain.
Everybody gets a hand-crafted card so everybody wins!
Everybody gets a hand-crafted card so everybody wins!
Deborah organises all the administrative side of things and it couldn't be easier!
To take part in the February Challenge you had to choose from three card making options. (You could combine all three if you wanted to).
The options for February were:
1. A colour palette of Citron, Cucumber, Violet, Mauve, Lilac
2. Deborah's template
3. A themed St Patrick's Day or Friendship card.
I love mauves and greens so I decided to use Deborah's colour palette, but I think my card was friendly too!!!
I sent this card to Cassi in Vienna, VA, USA...
...and was thrilled to receive this sweet card from Yvette in Belgium!Deborah will be showcasing all the February Challenge cards on her blog at the beginning of March. She will also post the details for the March Card Chain Challenge.
If you've yet to discover her excellent blog why not go take a look as Deborah is one bright, funny lady, and a fabulous card maker!
Happy crafting everyone!

Stunning cards - adore them both.
Hi Jo, Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog especially as it meant I could follow you back and have a good look at your lovely cards. You have some beautiful makes on here. Your friend's card is lovely too.
The foot and knee are slowly improving thanks. I wondered if you'd seen the link in my sidebar to the blog I share with 3 friends. You'll be able to see the whole project that the cello was from on there (if you haven't already been that is).
Anyway, thanks for visiting me. I really appreciate it.

This is so cute. I love the coloring on it. It looks like watercolors. Gorgeous. Embossing really makes the card. ;)
