Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 26 card makers took part and I sent my card to Jo in UK.
This month I used the colours and the options of lace and friendship.
My card base is stone coloured matt card and my pewter and tan are metallic card. The lace die is by Sizzix (Tim Holtz 664181) and the hello die and sentiment is by Spellbinders (a little hello sentiments designed by Lisa Horton).
If you would like to take part in the next card chain challenge, you have until 6th to sign up here
I made a stencil with the die to decorate the insert and the envelope. You can just see them in the first photo. The picture below shows the shiny metallic cardstock.
I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Linda in Michigan. Thanks Linda.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.

The lacy die is so gorgeous and your card so beautiful! And such a great idea to make a stencil to use on the envelope and insert!
Wow, Hilary! That lacy cover die is gorgeous - so classy and elegant and I love the big hello! Nothing more needed on this beautiful design! Julia xx
Beautifully done Hilary, the delicate lacy die cut looks fabulous — great contrast with the bolder sentiment style. Hope you’re coping OK with your injury.
Stunning take on the colors with that lacy die, Hilary - love this!!
The lace die is a beauty and looks like it cut very well! Love the metallic cardstocks you used for your wonderful card, Hilary!
Hi Hilary,
You've made a wonderful card! I think it was ready before you did broke your wrist? Or is it possible to craft with the plaster??
I hope you're painfree...and that it will recover without complications!
The card you've received is very special!
Wow! I saw the photo in the reveal post, but now that I see it's actually metallic. That elevates it to awesomeness.
Lovely take on the theme Hilary, the colour palette was a toughie but you carried it off beautifully.

Your card is stunningly beautiful.
I mean... wow!! Seriously wow!! Absolutely in love with that lace die cut and it looks fabulous with the metallics! What a spectacular card, Hilary!
This is such an effective design. Love that you used mirri card, it really shines. Great idea to use the die to stencil the envelope too.
Oh my goodness, look at the texture on your card! That cover die is amazing, and it made a beautiful stencil as well. Beautiful stuff, Hilary!
Hi Hilary, I've finally grabbed a coffee and a little sit down to visit my CCC buddies. Thank you so much for this gorgeous card. It just looks so shiny and lovely. I used the same die for my card to Jaonne. Did you send me the die cut? I've kept it safe for so long and knew THIS was the time to use it. Thanks of you did. Thanks for being a link in our chain again too. Jo x
