It's reveal day at the Card Chain Challenge and last month my card went to Daja in Germany. Happy that it arrived on time and that Daja liked it as I really enjoyed making it :)
As always, we had several challenge options to choose from, I went with the theme option of "Let's Get Spooky" and made this cute Halloween card which I thought was very fitting to receive during October. It's definitely more cute than spooky, I think 😀
(This is the same large pumpkin I used on yesterday's card, although that card turned out completely different.)
Stamps are all by Tracy Evans (Myriad of Designs and Numerical Cats). I masked off a little bit of the large pumpkin at the top where I stamped the cat. The large pumpkin leaves were done with a Spellbinders die and Distress inked/water spritzed cardstock. Ivy leaves are part of Myriad of Designs.
The sentiment was part of a designer paper piece by Graphic 45, I thought it was a perfect fit. On the background I used Carved Pumpkin Distress ink and 2 different stencils. A bow made of jute twine finishes it off.
I was thrilled to have received a beautifully embossed card from Jeanne in Minnesota, thank you!! I didn't get a chance to photograph it but will update this as soon as I can.
That was another fun card exchange I was happy to take part in. If you would like to join in with the Card Chain Challenge, then there is still time to sign up for November. Everyone sends a card and received a card. Check out all the details here.
