Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 27 card makers took part and I sent my card to Daja in Germany.
My card is all die cuts again this month and I have used the friendship theme and lace option. I did try to use the colours but I lost it after gold. Somehow I didn't manage to add jade and topaz!
I chose the lace option so that I could use this lace die by sizzix which I love. I cut it from some gold paper and mounted it onto a kraft A2 sized panel. I decided to frame it to help give it some definition. The die doesn't cut the edge and so I do struggle to get a neat edge with it. The thin frame has helped to sort that issue out.
The big daisy flower die is by The Stamp Market. I cut it from a alcohol inked panel that I made some time ago. I used the rest of the panel in the card you will find at the end of this post. The little hello and tiny flowers are also by The Stamp Market.
This is quite a simple card, but I am quite pleased with it. The gold paper gives it quite a nice shine.
I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Joanne in the USA. Thanks Joanne.
Here is the other card I made with the rest of the AI panel:
This was the birthday card for my eldest daughter who turned 45 last month.
This card is 7x5 and I made the daisy into a shaker.
I am sharing this one at NBUS # 65 as it was the first outing for this daisy die.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

Hi Hilary!
The inky panel is just wonderful! I do like the soft colors and it is perfectly for the leaves. I like the shakerpart in the card for your eldest daughter. 45! Wow, that's quite a number!
Just lovely, Hilary! You know how much I love that particular bloom!

What a lovely lacey die cut background Hilary, so elegant in the gold! Your Ai inked flower is so pretty layered over the gold! Julia xx
I love these pretty cards, Hilary! (I just realized that we have been saying "AI" for alcohol inks and now it looks like it's an "Artificial Intelligence" card design, lol! No, it's not!) I love the look of that lacy die cut in gold and framed. And your daughter's shaker birthday card is a study in color and cheer! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
Gorgeous cards, Hilary. I do love the gold lace design and the daisy shakers. Well done combing the bright colors of the alcohol inks with the classy gold!
Gorgeous lacy die cut for that wonderful flower on the first card. Wonderful coloring on the second card and super cute shaker card too.
Wonderful cards, but I do love the gold and soft colors on the flower.
Love that lacy background, Hilary! The alcohol inked panel is so pretty and I'm glad to see that you could use the whole panel! The flower is so fun with the echoing hellos!
A gorgeous pair of cards you have made Hilary, and a lovely one received, also
Blessings

The background is stunning and pretty all on its own so I think the choice of a simple and fun die cut flower was a great one!
What a beautiful lacey background, the first card is beautiful and then the second one equally so but more colourful.
Two beauties with the AI panel, Hilary!! Just love the gold lace background on your CCC card too!!
love the design, especially the shaker version ♥
Gorgeous cards to send and receive
Lovely cards, Hilary. I love all the gold on your CCC creation - I'm a sucker for some lovely bling. Hope all is well with you. Thanks for being a link in our CCC chain of friendship and fun, Jo x
Really like how you used the alcohol panel--lovely cards!
