December Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Wishing you a very Happy New Year.
Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 19 card makers took part and I sent my card to Gail in Norway.

The December challenge is always a fiendish tic tac toe:


I find these quite hard so after much deliberation I eventually chose the bottom horizontal row: sage, stitch, silhouette, shrubbery, silver.


I have used various shades of green, but the ink is Catherine Pooler sage. I stitched onto a silver die cut after using a Spellbinders stitching die. The silhouette is the bird stamp by Clarity Stamp. The set contains 20 4cm square stamps. I bought it on the spur of the moment in their half price sale and I am very glad I did because I have used it several times already, and I love the images. The shrubbery is on the stamp (I am counting the branch the birds are sitting on as shrubbery) and the silver is the silver metallic card and silver foiling on the sentiment. I have to say I was quite pleased when the idea finally came, but the card did take a while to put together and the decision about the sentiment was tortuous, but I got there in the end. Apologies for the poor photos.


I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Brenda in UK. You can't see in the picture but the snow edges have a wonderful sparkle to them.
