November Card Chain Reveal

Wow - it's December 2nd already and time to reveal the cards that went round the world for the Card Chain Challenge! Twenty seven people played along and you can see the entire chain HERE. You only need to send one card and you receive one from the person behind you in the chain. I sent this card to Gail (Crafty Nomad) in Norway:

Supplies: Paper - Ms Sparkle & Co blush A2 card; 

Hero Arts blue; Anchor Paper silver; 

and a scrap of white

Stamps - Simon Say Stamp Falling Stars (retired);

Hero Arts All Occasion Messages (retired)

Dies - Hero Arts Stylish Stars (retired);

My Favorite Things Blueprints 13 & 18 (retired)

Other - sequins and star confetti; star gems;

Memento Summer Sky ink; acetate

I used the color scheme and a modified version of the sketch. Also used the themes of stars and friendship, plus the technique of Aperture.

Thanks to Nathalie who sent me the sequin mix with her October Card Chain Challenge card! I added some Martha Stewart star confetti to it for my shaker.  Despite adding anti static powder to the inside, some of the star confetti preferred to stick to the acetate. Enough of it moved with the sequins for an effective shaker, I hope!! The star gems came from my friend Heather (Stamping and Stitching) but I didn't save the packaging for the manufacturer...

My friend and sister Die Cut Diva Dawn (Dawn's World) sent this beauty all the way from New Zealand; I love the flower atop the striped background:

Thanks for stopping by and, if you're interested in participating, you can sign up HERE by December 6th for a special December exchange. Normally we would have a break in December for the holiday season but we felt some extra cheer and happy mail was needed this year!! Happy crafting!!
