Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 25 card makers took part and I sent my card to Ellie in IL. USA.
From all the options this month I have chosen to use the colours, friendship and abstract.
When I saw the abstract option I immediately thought of this stencil set by Uniko. I really like it and haven't used it in a while so the first challenge was to find it, as it wasn't with my other Uniko stencils. Sometime later after going through all my stamps and stencils more than once, I decided to go through my Uniko stamp collection packet by packet. Finally I found it in the packet with the Bauhaus Blocks stamp set!
I have used my Catherine Pooler inks in slate, drive in and cranberry fizz. The little flower stamp is from a set by Concord & 9th and the sentiment stamps are also Uniko. I had a little bleeding under the bottom edge of one of the stencils so I masked it by using a little strip of peel off. I haven't used that for a long long time, but am pleased how it worked, a little bit of extra interest and you are none the wiser about the error.
I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Pia in Norway. Pia is very organised, it arrived on the 6th November. Isn't it beautifully autumnal? Thanks Pia.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.
