January 2026 Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 Today is reveal day over at The Card Chain Challenge - when we see all the cards that were exchanged for the January Challenge!   I sent my card to Hilary in the UK and I received a card from Joanne in CT.

We are always given options for our card designs - we can use all the options or as little as one!

This month I used the colors, the theme of friendship and the technique of layers!



These are not colors I would usually choose to use together - so it was a good creative challenge for me to use them! 
 
I used two different die sets - Infinity Punch and Pierce Plate from Sizzix for the background and Stylish Oval Hello You Floral from Spellbinders for the flowers and leaves.
  
The sentiment is from A Little Message Sentiments Press Plate and die set from Better Press.

I sponged the edges of the lighter petals with ink matching the darker petals.  I inked the edges of the leaves with ink matching the lighter petals and I added some acrylic dots!  The one largest flower is up on foam dots.

We'd love to have you join us for the February Card Chain Challenge you'll find all you need to know about signing up and options for your card design there!

Sign up ends on Feb 6th
