Hi all - time for another Card Chain Challenge Reveal. Thirty-two people participated in the August 2023 Chain & you can see the full reveal HERE. My card went to the talented Kath (Handmade by Kath) in the UK:
Supplies: Paper - Hero Arts & My Favorite Things;
Neenah Classic Crest Solar White
Stamps with Dies - Hero Arts Berry Basket Bundle
Stamps - Hero Arts Farmer's Market Pattern Bold Prints
Dies - A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectange Backdrop Set;
My Favorite Things Blueprints 13 (retired);
Sunny Studio Slimline Basic Borders
Other - Copic Markers; Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink;
Ranger Clear Embossing Powder; Foam tape;
Hero Arts Cornflower ink, clear & sparkle lacquer
We had the following options in creating our card:
Color Palette Option
Sketch Option
Theme Options: CAS / Fruit and/or Veg / Friendship
Product / Technique Options: Vellum /Stencil
This time I skipped the color combo since I wanted to do berries and the kumquat didn't fit. I did use the greens, though, and the sketch option along with fruit and friendship.
My pale blue dot-stitched panel started plain but I added the tone-on-tone stamping after I'd embossed the three line sentiment. I got all these HA products in March along with that month's My Monthly Hero Kit. Finally got a chance to use them! While I was stamping and die cutting, I did a bunch more berries and some of the baskets & bows from the set. Here's a close-up of the berries which were colored with Copics and covered with clear or sparkle lacquer.
And here's a view of the inside which I'm trying to decorate more to match the card front.
This month I received a card from another Linda (Linda Grady), this one from Michigan. I just love her use of the color combo and the sweet little gnome with pumpkin!! Thanks Linda!
That's it for today, friends! If you'd like to participate in a fun, easy card exchange (make/send one card and receive one), check it out HERE by September 6th to play in the September exchange.
