November 2023 Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 Today is the day that we see all the cards exchanged for November in the Card Chain Challenge!  This month I sent a card to Ellie in IL and I received a card from Joanne in CT.  

Here's the card I made.  I just LOVE this apple pie that I made using To Pie for Die from The Greetery!  I think it looks SO realistic and all I did was sponge the layers with Distress Inks!  The coaster die under the pie is also from The Greetery.


This month I followed the sketch, the colors (sort of) and the theme of friendship.




I adhered a die cut easel on the back of my card panel so it can be stood up for display if so desired.


Check out the Card Chain Challenge blog to see all the cards sent and received and to see how you can join in, any month, to send a card and receive a card from anywhere in the world!
