Today's the day we can see all of the cards that were exchanged all over the world for the January Card Chain Challenge! I sent a card to Carol in England and I received a card from Hilary - also in England!
Every month there are suggestions of colors, sketch, theme, product and technique options to inspired us.
This month I just went with the theme of Friendship.
I used a recently purchased Gate Fold X Fence die from Mama Elephant along with the Dandelion Wish Embossing folder from Sizzix. The stamps are from Dandelion Wishes Sentiments from Papertrey Ink (on sale!)
I embossed the dandelions onto a white panel and then rubbed over the panel with Ranger Distress Ink - Scattered Straw ink pad to color the raised bits. I adhered the fence tabs to the back of the panel
Since the fence will stand the card up I embossed and inked another white panel and adhered it to the back of the card panel which also covers the tabs from the fence. I added a die cut scalloped trim and a white panel for the sentiment and message!
I adhered the oval sentiment to just one side of the fence and 3 yellow enamel dots on each side of the fence.
