Today is the 2nd of January so time for the December Card Chain Challenge reveal post. I think Gail and Jo are glutens for punishment because they added an extra challenge for December last year. Obviously everyone that entered is too! I jest, because it is not punishment to enter this amazing challenge but organising it all just could be.
The design option this month involved a tic tac toe and I chose the diagonal line from top left - bees, friendship and emboss it.
My card went to the lovely Gundi in Germany (I just adore her cards).
I am quite pleased with this one, I hope you like it too.
Here is the lovely happy and cheery card that I received from Jo in England. Isn't it gorgeous? the shadow on the sentiment is all glittery and sparkly which just adds to the cheery nature of it.
I am looking forward to another year of sending cards round the world and receiving them too.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Wow, that’s a spectacular die cut - I hope you made something with all the little “kites” it generated! Lovely card Hilary. Happy New Year to you and yours, let’s hope 2021 is a bit kinder to us all.
Such a wonderful card you made Hilary. I love the frame, it's so delicate. You also received a great card.

What a gorgeous design using that beautiful string art die cut Hilary - the bee is stunning front and center and even more dimension added with your die cut hello! And more beauty added stamping on the envelope! I'm so glad I saw your post last month and joined in this world wide challenge! Julia xx

Such an effective frame Hilary, I don't think I have ever seen a die like that before and thought I recognised the Bee.

2 fabulous cards, Hilary! Can't imagine attaching that cardstock die cut to the one cut from fun foam, but it sure looks great! I need to use my glitter gel markers that still work as I do love them--perfect for the bee!
