Today is reveal day at the Card Chain Challenge and I joined in the fun again :) This time my card went to Hilary in the UK and so glad it arrived just in time! Mail delivery unfortunately isn't as fast as it once was.
Our wonderful hosts Gail and Jo came up with some fun challenge options and this time I chose the theme option of Cute and Funny along with technique option of Stencils.
The stamp set is another one by Colorado Craft Company illustrated by Anita Jeram (Coffee House - sadly retired and I believe the full line of Anita Jeram stamps has been discontinued). I used a polka dots along with a stripes stencil and thought the background paper found in my stash coordinated really well with the image panel. Sentiment is part of the same stamp set and I tied a bow of jute twine around the card. Image was stamped with Versafine Onyx ink and colored with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils.

Love this one — perfect sentiment and a super-cute image. You’re right, CCC’s license for Anita Jeram images has been discontinued so no more AJ from them.
That is really cute!
Cute card Ellie, great image I love the sentiment.

I love it so much! As a rat person I can't stop looking <3
I have a plethera of Anita Jarem's stamps and I have to say I have not seen this cute coffee one before! Love your card with the stencilling, coloring and pretty patterned paper! Julia xx
What a fun card you made for Hilary - that is gorgeous and certainly fits the criteria you chose to use.
What a unique card you received from Pia.
Our postal service here in NZ is appalling - it is not only extremely expensive, but incredibly slow, and at times mail is now going missing, which is even more frustrating!!

So niedlich ist Deine Karte geworden und auch wenn Hilary (wahrscheinlich) mehr Tee trinkt, wird sie sehr viel Freude an dieser Karte haben. Deine Karte von Pia ist auch eine Augenweide!!!
Supercute scene with the coffee mouse, Ellie - I really miss Anita Jeram's are at Colorado Craft Co!!
How lovely! I love all the little details on this, Ellie. What a beautiful make. Thanks for being a link in our chain of friendship and creativity. Jo x
I have this adorable set and would you believe I've never inked/used it? I'm shameful! Your card is adorable and you've inspired me to use mine. Thanks for joining us at The Paper Funday Challenge, it's always a treat to see your work.
