Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 34 card makers took part and I sent my card to Jo in the UK. If you are looking for my We Love Stamping DT card, please scroll down.
I loosely used the colours of raspberry, rose and cream, and also the theme of friendship and the product, lace, although my lace is actually a die cut which was cut from an acrylic paint gel print.
The lace panel was attached to some cream card and the hello friend was cut from the same card. the shadow for the friend was cut from another gel print using the mauve from the lace. I used the remainder of that print to cut another lace panel for the insert.
As it is all quite busy I finished it off with just 3 enamel dots.
I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Linda in Minnesota. Thanks Linda.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Gina K Heavy weight ivory
Dies: Sizzix Thinlets 664181; Tonic Studios Stamp Club 11
