As it's the second of the month it must be time for another stunning reveal over at The Card Chain Challenge. This month 22 talented crafters sent their cards flying around the world!
Here are the options for the challenge:
The sketch
The colours
Theme Options
Lighthouse, Fruit, Friendship
Product/technique options
Stencils
Now, here's the card I sent to Lorraine in Gloucester, England. Lorraine lives two counties away... but it never reached her!
Here's the gorgeous (and slightly hypnotic) card Karren sent to me - she lives on the other side of the world and it arrived in under a week!
I was so taken with Karren's card, and especially how she had interpreted the sketch, that I did a bit of shameless CASE-ing and sent Lorraine this one, which thankfully made it in a couple of days! I'm hoping card #1 might reach Lorraine eventually, so decided to make sure that each card looked different.
If you'd like to play along at CCC, please visit our blog and read all the details.

These cards are all fabulous and what a fun swap! Shame about the postal service.
two great cards.... maybe the first one will turn up eventually. I had some issues with the one I sent for July - I didn't realise that the postage from NZ had gone up and it ended up back in my letter box with an insufficient postage sticker.... so added more and hopefully my recipient finally got it!
Two stunning cards. Such a shame that your first one went AWOL x
Isn't the mail system fun. LOL Both of your cards are wonderful. You really captured the citrus feel in the first one.
It is a stunning reveal and yes, the mail system is all messed up!! Hope your lemon card makes it through. Both very pretty. Hugz
Seriously?! That's a shame as I love your first card! The second one is beautiful, too, & I know Lorraine is enjoying it. One of my cards that only went about 500 miles took 6 months to arrive, so there's hope! Such a beauty from Karren!
Both of your cards are gorgeous, Jo, and I hope the first one turns up soon! I'm glad you liked my card (and also glad it got there in good time!)
