Friend

It's time for the CCC Reveal. Real cards get sent off using snail mail spreading joy across the world!

Mine went all the way to Lucille in Colorado.

This is what I was going to send... 

But then I realise that the back of the card was dirty, so I mounted it on a kraft card. It's amazing how a little border changes the card.

Cool Blues

It's time for the Chain Card Challenge Reveal! My card went winging it's way to Marga in Spain. You can click to pop on over to see what other cards have been sent and received. So wonderful to share our cards with other stamping enthusiasts.

I made a soft stencil background for my Scribble Flowers. Painted with Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks.

I followed one of the colour combos, the sketch and the technique of diecuts.

Product / Technique Options : Die cuts / Sparkle / Vellum

Beautiful Blues - October CCC Reveal

It's time for the October CCC Reveal. With my love of blues, I had to go with the colour combination and then went with the sketch as well. My card went to Helen in Ohio.

After using a border punch and stamping the sentiment and it embossing in white, I distress the panel with Distress Oxides in Blueprint Sketch. I also embossed the flowers in white, but painted with Distress Inks, Blueprint Sketch and Chipped Sapphire, as I love the transparency of them.

You still have until the 6th November to join up to send and receive the real thing!

Pretty in Pink

It's time for the September CCC Card Reveal for all the cards that went out over the globe. Mine went off to Denise in California.

I used the colour palette, sketch, product option (washi) and theme (friendship) of the CCC July Challenge. Since we actually send cards for this challenge, the reveal always comes at the beginning of the next month. You can pop along HERE to see all the cards sent.

I will also enter this to the AAA Cards Challenge : Friendship. I love that they used the globe which ties in nicely with the CCC challenge too.

I went with the colours and a light interpretation of the sketch with a change in orientation.

May CCC

It's wonderful making cards that are going off to fellow stamping enthusiasts. My card for the MAY CCC went off to Lucille. See the reveal of all the cards sent HERE.

I went with the colour scheme, sketch and Friendship theme. I used the flowers die cut from the Altenew Spring Shower Cover die and coloured them with Copics. I offset the frame front to add interest.

And I made a matching envelope. Always fun to receive happy mail.

If you'd like to join in the fun, sign up for the June Card Chain Challenge by the 6th June.
