Today's the day we see all of the cards exchanged for the September Card Chain challenge. I sent a card to Jo in England and I received a card from Kath in England!
Each month there are options for sketch, colors, themes, and products/techniques. You can use one suggestion - or you can use them all!
This month I just used one of the suggested themes - Egypt.
Kent and I went to a traveling exhibition of King Tut when it stopped in Boston a couple of years ago. I knew of King Tut - but not all the particular details of his life and times - it was a wonderful education on this Boy King and his short reign. He actually wasn't historically well known until they found his tomb in 1922.
So after we saw the exhibit - as a crafter - I went searching for stamps/dies that might be out there - and sure enough I found Museum Busts Die set by Hero Arts (no longer available but there are some available on Amazon! It has King Tut, Queen Nefertiti (King Tut's stepmother and mother in-law as he married her daughter, Tut's half sister, Ankhesenpaaten!) and two Grecian busts as well as a column stand.
Please check out this fun Card Chain challenge and join in for October - you have until Oct 6th to sign up!
