Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 32 card makers took part and I sent my card to Arlene in California
I started by using an Altenew stencil to create my blocks panel. I chose 3 Catherine Pooler inks in appropriate colours, although my orange is a bit yellow. Once I had made my panel, I spent a while trying to decide what to do with it. In the end I decided to place it on the inside of my card and create a clear window on the front to display it through.
My flower is a hotfoil stamp by Ultimate Crafts. I foiled it in green onto glossy coated card, coloured it with felt pens and fussy cut it. The sentiment is a spellbinders hotfoil stamp.
I thought it still needed something so added a few silvery sequins.
I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Bonnie in Colarado. She very generously enclosed a set of sticker papers. Thanks Bonnie. I love the little details on the card. You can't see on the photo, but the flower centres are sparkly gold and they shine beautifully in real life.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Hilary I love a card that includes acetate - clearly you found the best way to make that stenciled piece the star of the show - your foiled bloom is lovely, too!

That’s a very effective stencil and I love the way you’ve used it with the clear panel to show it off, super card Hilary!
Hi Hilary,
because of the troubles with my laptop,I wasn't here on the 2nd.
Your card is very nice! I love this with the transparant sheet on it.
The card that you've received is also a beauty!
Hilary, your card is unbelievably amazing! I love all the fresh greens and that cute sunflower-ish flower. But, WOW, that stencil! I've seen it before, but it seems especially special today. Your design is wonderful. Everything is just enough and perfect!
Fabulous card Hilary love the flower and stencilled strip showing through the acetate window

I love this card with those bright, cheery blocks and that clear front.
oh wow! This is such an effective and clever design.
Wow, what a stunner! I have that stencil and always have trouble trying to utilise it even though I love it dearly. You have given me plenty of inspiration with this fabulous card.
