September Card Chain Challenge Reveal

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 Jo in the UK.

I have used the options of foil, silhouette and friendship and created my card with a Spellbinders BatterPress plate called bloom wildly. It is quite large so this card is 7x5 as I didn't want to cut off the image. I used some rose gold satin foil onto some white coated card. I find that coated card takes foil much better than ordinary card. I get it from Papermill Direct and it comes in different sizes and 2 different weights.

I didn't want to detract too much from the image so I just roughly blended some ink round the image and finished it off with a few sequins and a foiled sentiment. Even though the foil isn't really shiny, it does still glow nicely as you can see in the picture below. I also used the plate to press the image onto the insert and the envelope. I don't think I use blue like this on my cards normally, but I am rather liking it today.

I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Lucille in the USA. Love those colours, thanks Lucille.
