CCC August

     

Hello,

Its reveal time for the August Card Chain Challenge. You can see them all HERE. 

This time I've sent my card to Alice in Austria

 

 

 

The beautiful card I received came from Imke in Germany - the photo doesn't really do it justice (sorry Imke)

 

For my card I chose to use the Sketch and the theme.of Friendship 

   

I taped off a rough rectangular shape on my white base card and filled it in with a few shades of light blue and aqua inks to make a blue sky background

The 'round' elements on the sketch were originally going to be flowers but I had a change of direction (I'd cut everything out ready so will have to make something with them eventually!) and decided to make those elements into more of a picture, with the balloon as the large one and the two clouds for the others.

The cute hot air balloon is one of the dies from Spellbinders' 2024 Advent Calendar, the clouds and birds are also from Spellbinders die sets - I just happened to have the dies on my desk from another project

 The Thinking of You sentiment is also from Spellbinders - its from a new Betterpress set, but I hot-foiled it using black foil on white card and cut it out wity the matching die
