May Card Chain Challenge Reveal Post

 Today's the day of the May Card Chain Challenge reveal.   I sent my card to Tina in Slovenia and I received a card from Brenda in the UK!

For my card, I used the suggested Sketch, Colors (Navy, Turquoise, Gold) and Theme of Friendship.


I just love using flip flops on a summer card!  These are cute 3D stickers from Jolee.  I die cut the heart out of DP as well as white card and glued the pieces together and layered them over the DP with foam dots.

If you'd like to join in for the June card exchange - you have until June 6th to sign up - all the details are on the Card Chain Challenge blog!

I'm also linking my card to:


Inspired by Nature

I was inspired by the ocean colors on the drawers

Anything Goes


First time using the die cut heart.



Stamps:  Flipping Out - PTI (retired)
Paper:  White - PTI, DP Beach Vibes - Honey Bee Stamps.
Ink:  Nocturne - Versafine Clair
Accessories:  Heart Rays Die - MFT, foam dots, gold and navy sequins, Flip Flop Stickers - Jolee
