Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 26 card makers took part and I sent my card to Kati in Germany.
From the options I have used the sketch, the colours of red, white and blue, although I have made them pastel, the theme of friendship and the technique of stitches.
I made the tiny flowers with dies and attached a tiny gem in the centre of each one.
I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Dee in Kenya:
It is a real beauty, I love it, thanks Dee. She enclosed a selection of die cuts too. That is so generous.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Crafters Companion centura pearl; white stamping card
Dies: Lisa Horton tatty layers lazy daisy panel; Concord & 9th stitched stripe card front die; creative Expressions just for you
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Oh my goodness--your card is a treasure, Hilary! So creative to do the stitching that way! I've been wanting to use some of my stitching dies & you've inspired me to do it!
