April 2020 - Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a bright, sunny day just like we are here in the UK! They've forecast storms for tomorrow so I think I need to make the best of the good weather while it's here.

There's another gorgeous Reveal on offer over at CCC today. We had 30 participants who exchanged cards across the globe this month and our grand total of cards exchanged is now 3,309! Isn't that brilliant?

 

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: Small Furry Animals/Funny/Friendship

Product / Technique Options:   Die Cut/Paint

I knew the small furry animals option was the one for me and broke out a sweet stamp set from Gerda Steiner. I tried to pick up the colours, and also the die cut option with the clouds and grass.

My recipient this month was Annerieke in The Netherlands. Turns out she's a fan of guinea pigs!

My sender for the month was Mia in Greece and I love her take on the sketch!

Thanks for dropping by, I hope you have a happy and safe day!

Card Chain Challenge - December 2020 Reveal

 Hi there, it's time for another Card Chain Challenge Reveal.

Happy New Year to you all, let's hope that 2021 brings us all health and happiness, and lot's of cardmaking and crafting!

Just for a little bit of fun Gail created a Tic-Tac-Toe for our December Challenge.

I went for a diagonal 'sweep' across the grid, but was determined to still create a Christmas card so this is what I sent to Hilary in the UK.

I adapted this cute Gerda Steiner bee and attached him to a SSS die cut. Some clouds created with a homemade stencil and some hearts embossing finished the card.

My card from Gail is a beaut, but I'm yet to see it as it's still in transit.

Our January Challenge is open for a few days longer and then we'll move seamlessly into our February Challenge! Why not make 2021 the year you come and join the fun???
