The Card Chain Challenge.... March reveal.

Hi there.   I had a play again in March with The Card Chain Challenge and I got to send a card to my blogger friend, Greta.  

The challenge gives us the name of who we send a card to... really awesome as everyone will get a card in the post.   We have a number of different options... colours, sketch, theme or technique so easy for anyone to participate.  

I chose the Friendship theme - and patterned paper - albeit that I made my own!


I started by using an older Hero Arts wooden stamp called Old French Writing to stamp repeatedly on some light kraft card which I then cut with Scalloped die from Gina K Designs ML.  My little centre panel was stamped with an Altenew mini stamp (Dainty Calla Lilly)  I used Prismacolor pencils to colour it in. I framed it with a silver glitter pen.    Added some Altenew Enamel dots to embellish.

I was lucky to received a beautiful tri fold card from Brenda in the UK


If you love getting cards and sending them - do join the challenge.  April sign up is still open...HERE 

By this time next week, I'll be in the air on my way to visit my daughter and her family in Perth, Australia.  I fly out at 12.50pm  and it's a 7 hour fight.  Can't say I'm looking forward to having to wear a mask for that length of time.  But that's what's needed to keep safe.  I am getting excited to see Archie...he's growing so quickly.  I will be there for his sixth birthday..so that's going to be fun.  

Take care
