October 2024 Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 Today's the day that we see all the cards exchanged for October over at the Card Chain Challenge.  Twenty eight people participated this time.

I received a card from Robyn in Australia and I sent a card to Daja in Germany!

For this months card I used one of the suggested Themes of bears and the Product - Plaid.

I made a little plaid vest for Theodore the bear to wear as he flew over  to Germany!

I cut a second piece of the base for Theodore and attached it to the back of him around the head, scoring the back piece, so he can stand up on his own!

We hope you will check out the challenge and join in with us!  All the details are over at the Card Chain Challenge blog.

Inkspirational #328 Designer Choice - Layer It

 The new challenge for Inkspirational is up over at the blog!  It's Designer Choice and Carol is our designer  this time.  She has chosen - Layer It.

I layered photo stickers to frames of card stock and then layered them over the card base on foam dots. I layered the pieces of a die cut sofa and adhered the sofa to the DP 'floor' at the base of the card.

 I was thinking of this as being a scene inside a museum - but it could also be in a living room - where the Monet paintings would certainly be prints rather than originals!

The Monet stickers are from Kawaii Pen Shop, the stamp is from Paper Artsy and the sofa is from My Favorite Things (retired).  I added 3 enamel dots from Altenew below the sentiment.

We hope you will join us over at Inkspirational and link up a card design showing how you interpret "Layer It"!

This challenge ends 11/15.

I'm also sending my card to:

1st time using the sofa die cut that I've had for over a year, and the Monet Stickers which I've had for two months.
