Card Chain Challenge August and July

Hello everyone. Hope you all had a wonderful summer or maybe you're still enjoying the last of it lik I'm doing here in Greece.

It's the second of the month, which means it's time to reveal all of the cards that were exchanged last month for the Card Chain Challenge

This month, my card went to Patricia in Texas


I went with the CAS theme and also loosely followed the colours and sketch. I stamped the ladybird on my cardbase as well as on a scrap of white cardstock and coloured it in using Chameleon fineliners and a black Sakura Micron pen. I fussy cut only the body of the ladybird and mounted it on top of the stamped image on my card using foam tape for some added interest and dimension.

I'm also linking up my card at 

LIM - Anything goes


SSS Wednesday - Anything goes


I also realised that I never got around to posting my card for the July reveal. Last month, my card went to Viv in the UK.


I used a previously Brusho stencilled panel that had colours loosely matching the CCC colour prompt and also had the circles. It reminded me somewhat of a dream catcher, so I pulled out my new Dream stamp and heat embossed in onto vellum and then fussy cut it. I stamped the 'BIG' sentiment underneath in black and finished off with some rhinestones in matching colours.

  8. Hi Marianne, I haven't received this cute little lady bug card yet, but I am happy to see it here (and in the reveal). I'm sure my mail will bring it to me eventually. It is sometimes slow getting delivered. It looks super sweet.
