September Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 23 card makers took part and I sent my card to Dagmara in Poland.


I have used the theme of friendship and the technique of inlaid die cutting. The background is a Pinkfresh press plate called ornate trellis that I foiled. It was one of the first things that I foiled after getting my foilpress back after it was fixed. It took a few goes for me to remember the ins and outs, so if you look closely you can see that it was a little over foiled in places, but not so bad that I had to discard it.


The little flower die is a favourite from The Stamp Market, the friend die is from the anemone glimmer blooms hotfoil stamp and die set by Spellbinders, and the hello was cut down from a hello sunshine die. I am afraid I don't have the make. I used alcohol pens to colour the white die cuts and edged the matt to match.

I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Mia in Greece. Of course, you all know what Mia is like, I didn't just get a card, I got a whole parcel of goodies, many of them homemade too. Thanks Mia.



I rather naively thought my covid infection would only last a few days and then I would be right as rain. Ha, not so, but I am glad to report that I am now better. Unfortunately I gave it to my husband and he has had the misfortune to lose his sense of taste and smell. Thankfully, it is slowly coming back. Anyway, thanks for all your good wishes and remember if you are in a crowded public place don't be afraid to wear a mask.
If you would like to take part in the next card chain challenge, you have until 6th to sign up here
