Today's the day all of the cards sent for the Card Chain Challenge in September are revealed!
I sent my card to Wendy in Ireland and received a card from Joanne in Connecticut.
Twenty-nine people exchanged cards for September!
We are always given suggestions to help us think of a design - we only have to use one suggestion. For September, I used the colors (with a couple of other ones snuck in - oops!?), the theme of Great Outdoors and the technique - Stencilling.
To make this lovely scene, everything I used is from The Greetery. The base was made using Rolling Hills Stencils, the country villa and trees were die cut using Country Villa Mini, the flowers and sentiment were stamped and die cut using Rolling Hills Bella Terra Additions and Rolling Hills Bella Terra Additions Dies.
The house, two trees, sentiment and flowers are popped up on foam dots. I colored the villa and trees using Copics.
Instead of making a folded card - I added an easel to the back so this sweet scene could be stood up for display if desired!

Another lovely scene, Julia! I can almost feel like I'm on vacation with a beautiful view!
A truly stunning scene you created, love everything about this! And wish I was there!!
Amazing scene, Julie! I love this beautiful scene -- it's so perfect to put the easel on the back too, that's an awesome die too. So pretty!
Those rolling hills look lovely in the slightly unexpected colours, great evocation of Tuscany!I’ve been known to sneak extras into the colour palette option, never had the challenge police on my tail as yet!
