The Card Chain Challenge Reveal - May 2025


After a quiet start to the Sign-Up we had 21 participants who exchanged cards across the globe this month, and we even welcomed a new player!
 
All the cards exchanged this month used at least one of the following options:
 

Colour Palette Option


(Exact matching is not required.)


Sketch Option

(Orient as desired.)


Theme Options: Chickens / Smiles and Laughter / Friendship

Product / Technique Options:
Ribbon or Lace / Lacé

Here's how I played the options: I went with the theme option of Chickens, sprinkled in a little whimsy and then sort of picked-up the colour palette for the hens. 


The set is called Picket Fence Studios - One Hot Chick, but seems to be discontinued and out of stock wherever I look. Such a pity as these chicks are adorbs. I sent this card clucking all the way to Mia in Greece.
 
My sender this month was Imke in Germany and she sent me this little piece of wonderful...


Thanks so much, Imke, your card is a delight!
 
If you'd like to see the full Reveal grab a coffee and head on over!

I love that both you and Imke chose the chicken theme. Your card is great. I love the background and the sentiment. The chickens are nice and quirky too. Good to hear that you enjoy succulents too. I am struggling to rationalise mine as they keep on multiplying! I try not to buy any new ones, but they can be a bit like craft supplies! xx

Just love all the chickens here! Your card is creative, fun and beatiful, Jo! What a joy to open that wonderful card from Imke! So glad we still have the CCC, thanks to you and Gail! PS--Bev at Uniko has some great layering stencil sets. I have the first one and there's another I'd love to get if shipping wasn't so expensive.
