Card Chain Challenge - July Exchange Reveal

 It's time to reveal all the cards exchanged for July over at The Card Chain Challenge.  I sent a card to Imke in Germany and I received a card from Jeanne H in MN!

For my card this month, I chose one of the themes: Doors or Windows.   I have both on my card!  A lovely center opening door with windows!

Usually you would have the door (Elegant Entrance Arches) as if  you were looking at the outside of the home -  but I decorated mine to be showing the inside of the home - with wall paper around the door (Elegant Arches Stamp) and a potted plant.(Modern Planters and Botanicals: Forget Me Nots.)  All from The Greetery.

And when you open the door you are looking out onto the garden! 

I stenciled the background on the inside of the card using Leaves in the Wind from Carabelle Studio and overlaid the die cut greenery (Garden Tub Filler Die). The sentiment is from Bloom and Grow Sentiments both from The Greetery.

We'd love to have you join us for the August Card Chain Challenge - you send a card to the person signed up ahead of you and you receive a card from the person signed up after you - you'll find all the details on how to sign up at The Card Chain Challenge blog!

The last day to sign up for the August challenge is August 6th!

Inkspirational #347 Mood Board

 Today I'm sharing my DT card for the newest Inkspirational Challenge #347.

I used a mix of pink and orange Copics to color my flowers (with a touch of green) made using Mirrored Arch Blooms Press Plate.  I cut out the center using Mirrored Arch Labels from Spellbinders.  

I adhered the panel over my card base with foam dots and then adhered the die cut sentiment inside the opening.  I also added a sweet little butterfly (how cute is she??!) from This Calls for Confetti and black enamel dots from Altenew.

We'd love to have you show us your inspired card using this Mood Board!  You will find some lovely inspiration from the rest of the DT as well as Mr. Linky over at the Inkspirational blog!

This challenge ends on 8/15!
