Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 24 card makers took part and I sent my card to Gundi in Germany.
From all the options this month I chose to use the colours, dies and the theme of friendship.
The lattice pattern is an old Spellbinders shapeability die which I cut from some bluey/purply coated card. The thin frame dies are from Heffy Doodle and I used two small square and I banner die. So that's 6 in total. The stamps which are new to me are from a set by Clarity Stamps called just silhouette framers sampler. There are 20 small silhouette images in the set plus 6 sentiments. I now have 3 of these sampler sets and love them. Have a look here. They are such good quality too.
I stamped my focal point image in Catherine Pooler crushed violet ink and I was going to heat emboss it, but the image was too fine for that so I covered it with versamark and heat embossed the whole area several times, so it has quite a shine. I used Catherine Pooler lime ricky ink to create the green elelments and I love how it works with the other colours. The sentiment was stamped in lime ricky ink and then clear hear embossed. Unfortunately I did get a little shadow from the embossing, but decided not to worry about it. I stamped different images from the set on the insert and envelope.
Unfortunately I am still waiting for my card card from Dee in Kenya, so I can't share it with you today.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.
