Lots of Love in Yellow and Black

 Today I made a card for the newest Color Hues Challenge.

This giant flower was made with Scalloped Petals Die from Concord and 9th.  The lady bug is also a die in the set and I made her yellow and black (which I've seen in real life).

It was tough not grabbing a green for the leaves, but I found a black/yellow honeycomb pattern in a DP set The Bees Knees by Honeybee

The sentiment is from the coordinating stamp set - Scalloped Petals - also from Concord and 9th.

I added black and yellow enamel dots from Altenew.

I stamped a sympathy sentiment inside - as I need a few more sympathy cards for my stash.

May 2026 Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 Today's the day all the cards exchanged for the May Card Chain Challenge are revealed over at the Card Chain Challenge Blog!    For May, I sent a card to Arlene in California and I received a beautiful card from Gundi in Germany!  

Twenty five people participated in the May Card Chain.

We are always given options for our card design -  colors, sketch, themes, products, techniques.  You only have to use one option or you can use them all!

This month I used the themes of Floral and Friendship. (I seem to use these themes a lot!)

I just LOVE this giant flower die that completely fills my A2 card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2").  I purchased this die recently and this is the first time I've used it!  Perfect for the Floral Theme right?!  It's called Scalloped Petals Die and the sentiment is from the coordinated Scalloped Petals Stamp Set - both from Concord & 9th.

If you'd like to play along with the June Card Chain Challenge - check it out at the Card Chain Challenge Blog where you'll find all the details of the challenge and how to join in.
