Jan 2024 Card Chain Challenge Reveal - Bird on a Fence

 Today's the day for the January Card Chain Challenge Reveal -  when we see all the cards sent and received for the challenge in January.   I sent my card to Linda in Minnesota and I received a card from Joanne in Connecticut.

Each month we have the options of using a sketch, colors, themes and/or product/techniques.

I used two of  the theme options - birds and friendship

Here's the card I created for Linda.  The fence and bird are up on foam dots.


Instead of making a card that opens -  I decided to put a small die cut easel on the back of the panel.

You'll find all of the cards exchanged and see who sent to who - over at The Card Chain Challenge.

You can also sign up to send/receive a card for February here.  You have until Feb 6th to sign up!
