July Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 

Here's my July Card Chain Challenge card that I sent off to Linda W in the USA.  I used circles, stitches and two colours from the palette. 


I remembered I had this scribbly circle die and thought to use them as flowers... die cut from 'pineapple' yellow card and with a little 'peach' ink blended on the centers.  Then I used another stitched die that you would use to create a horizon line and laid them at different angles to create the leaves and stems. Mounted them onto a PP background and added a stamped die cut sentiment (from Jillibean).


Theme Options: Fish / Circles / Friendship


Product / Technique Options: Buttons / Stitches




This is my latest crochet blanket... Mosaic in the Round by Beba Crochet

  7. How clever to use your stitched dies like that. I would never have worked that out. It looks brilliant. Love the flower dies too. They look stunning on that background. Lucky Linda to receive this beautify. Your crochet looks pretty spectacular too. That is something that I have never learnt. I did buy some hooks years ago thinking I would give it a go and guess what - they are still in their packet! xx
