November 2023 Card Chain Reveal

Hello everyone! Are you ready for December holidays?? I'm not - too busy with our chorus winter show today (3pm at the Masonic Heritage Center in Bloomington if you're in the Twin Cities USA)!

But first, it's time to reveal cards that went 'round the world for the November Card Chain Challenge! Thirty-two people participated and you can see the full reveal HERE. My card went to dear Michaela (Bastelmichaela's Kreative Unikate) in Austria.

Supplies: Paper - Hero Arts Pitch Black;

Spellbinders A2 card; Lawn Fawn Petite Perfectly Plaid;

Recollections Purple Passion 4.5x7" 

Stamps - Divinity Designs Mini Tag Sentiments

Dies - A Jillian Vance Design Stitched Dot Rectangle Backdrop;

Hero Arts Nesting Circle Infinity Dies & Dream Catcher;

Kat Scrappiness A2 Stitched Strips;

My Favorite Things Blueprints 21 (retired)

Other - Hero Arts Grape Juice Ink & Sparkle lacquer;

Black Soot Distress ink; Recollections gems; foam tape

We had the following options for creating our cards:

Color Palette Option

Sketch Option

Theme Options: Winter / Indian / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Scraps / Quilling

I used the colors, sketch, & themes of Indian & friendship. It wasn't specified what kind of Indian so I went with Native American Indian, using a new dreamcatcher die set. I had loads of black scraps so was able to use that technique option too. If you haven't tried Hero Arts premium pitch black cardstock, it's yummy!!

Just die cut all the elements, stamped a mini sentiment and assembled. The dream catcher feathers have foam tape behind and all feathers have some sparkle lacquer. I added some gems to the bead area of the dangles. Done!

I received this card from Dagmara [(P)otworki] in Poland. I sent to her in October and was delighted to have her reciprocate with this beauty! I just love the image and her gorgeous coloring of it!!

Interested in joining the Card Chain? So simple to make and send one card, then you receive one card - so fun!! Go HERE for details & to sign up for the December Card Chain by 12/6/23.

Thanks for stopping & happy crafting!!
