June Card Chain Challenge 2026 Reveal

 Today's the day all of the cards exchanged for the June Card Chain Challenge are revealed.  

24 people signed up to exchange cards in June. I sent a card to Chris in Illinois and I received a beautiful card from Alice in Austria!

I used one of the suggested Technique Options of Shaped Card for my design this month!

I used at Retro TV die from Amazon, designer papers from Oriental Garden by Stamperia and the bee is made with the Fire Flies Die from the Greetery (colored to look like a bee!)  I die cut the TV out of hammered white card stock and colored the pieces with Copics and a Silver Leaf Krylon Pen.

What a fun shaped card Julia, I love this one! Great coverage with the Krylon pen too, I haven’t used mine in years — wonder if it still works?

This is awesome, Julia! What a wonderful card and your firefly makes a perfect bee. We don't seem to have any bees or fireflies around our yard.
