Today is 2nd of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge big reveal. This month 29 card makers took part and I sent my card to Linda in Michigan.
This month I used the colours and the sketch.
I am pleased that I bought myself a new large sticky mat because it has enabled me to ink blend through a stencil one handed. I am now just over 5 weeks into my confinement in a plaster cast and can do much more, but when I made this card, life was quite challenging as I could do very little with my left hand, so I was pleased with my ink blending through these stencils. Two stencils are used to make this pattern. They are by Stampin Up and were a gift. I used 2 colours for the stencilling and the heart. Catherine Pooler flirty fuchsia and be mine. The little labels are by Craft Addiction UK, as is the slatted heart die. The sentiments are embossed into the labels, see the close up below. I was tempted to use a fine liner to help the words stand out, but I knew I wouldn't manage it one handed. Especially as it is my writing hand that is incapacitated. I used CP bellini ink for the peony colour and embroidery thread for the scarlet.
Considering my current disability, I was pleased with this one.
I was very lucky to receive this gorgeous card from Ellie in Illinois
I am going to be away for a few days from today, so apologies if it takes me a few days to visit the reveal.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.
