Have A Beautiful Day ... CCC Reveal

My card for the March Card Chain Challenge went off to Julia in the USA.   

I have used the sketch and colour palette, spring and paper piecing with my die cut.

• die cut my Protea twice and carefully paper pieced all the cutouts in place, leaving out the centres so they could be coloured differently
• using a post it note to mask areas I blended Distress Oxide ink to colour the flowers and pieces
• then replaced the coloured centre pieces
• in my stash the perfect pink misted background and found some match card to form up the sketch layout
• stamped and silver embossed the sentiment 
• assembled the card

Thanks for visiting  --  I love card making and sharing them
