CCC July, A Long Cold Drink

 Hello,

Its time for the reveal of the 26 links in the Card Chain Challenge. You can see them all HERE. 

 

This time I sent a card to Pia in Norway, and received a beautiful card from Hilary in the UK.  All cards exchanged in July used at least one of the following options:

Colour Palette Option

(Exact matching is not required.)

Sketch Option

(Orient as desired.)

Theme Options: Cocktails / Pets / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Embossing Powder / Ink Blending

 

My card for Pia

I chose to use the Sketch and the Cocktails theme. 

I've just realised that I used the same die set as last time - though I did use some of the other dies from it this time! You'd almost think I didn't have any other die sets, wouldn't you? 

(maybe not) 

   

 

 

 This one didn't come together as planned and I had three attempts before I felt happy enough  to send it. It was the stripes that caused most grief, and in the end I shrunk them to just a wide panel across the card.  I used a lot of washi tape to mask the stripes and summery shades of ink. 

All the die elements, including the sentiment are from Spellbinders' Pink Lemonade die set 

I added a little glitter to the jug and the glass

 

 Here is the beautiful card Hilary sent to me - I am in awe at her ink-blending!
