Today all of the cards exchanged for the September Card Chain Challenge are revealed over at the blog.
This month I sent a card to Ellie in Illinois and I received a card from Greta in Oregon.
For my card this month - I used the suggested colors and the theme option Flamingo.
I have about 10 of Tim Holtz Colorize dies of wonderful animals. Some of them I've used a lot and a few haven't been used yet - including this wonderful flamingo Gladys!
I embossed the teal background card using Monstera Frame Embossing Folder from Altenew and I die cut the Monstera leaf using a die set from The Greetery. The sentiment is preprinted from a set by Waffle Flower.
I die cut an easel to attach to the back of the panel so it can stand up for display.
We hope you will join us for the October Card exchange - you'll find all the instructions and the sign up for October here.
