August 2021 Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Hey friends - It can't be September 2nd already, can it?? Oh my, this year is flying by!! Today we're revealing cards sent around the world for the August Card Chain. Twenty-five people participated; see the entire chain HERE. My card went to the delightful Joanne (Ambrosia and Iron) in the UK.

Supplies: Paper - Anchor Paper & Paper Studio (solids);

Carta Bella Devoted (patterned/retired)

Dies - Taylored Expressions Rustic Layered Floral

Avery Elle Pierced Hexagon (retired)

Other - Park Lane gems;

CZ Designs Sentiment Strips Reverse Happy

I used the colors and the sketch (modified a tad).

The sketch seemed to call for a square card which was perfect for my overly large Avery Elle hexagon, used in lieu of the sketch's square element. I got the AE set half off on one of my summer shopping sprees at Anchor Paper - couldn't resist it after Jeanne (Reba Li Creates) enabled me! While it is retired at Avery Elle, I spotted it back in August at Frantic Stamper (go here if desired - there weren't many left, though, so it may be gone by the time this post runs). I searched my patterned papers and found the perfect piece - luckily there was enough for a small strip! Next, I looked for a flower to be the circle element from the sketch and came across a fave TE flower. Now the funny part - Joanne received my Feb 2020 CCC card and I used the same flower!! Sorry about that, Joanne - you'd think I could've found something else in my tons of stash!! At least it was a slightly different color....

I received this darling card from Lia (Lia's Design) in the Netherlands. I just love the seagull with the shells and glittery waves!! Thanks Lia and thanks too for the darling travel stickers!!

Thanks to Gail & Jo for continuing the Card Chain Challenge - quite a challenge with the delays in the various postal services!! You have until September 7th if you'd like to sign up to participate for September - details HERE.
