February Card Chain Challenge

Dia daoibh!

March in Ireland arrives with leprechauns everywhere and pots of gold firmly on our minds. The shops are full of green, shiny things, and there is a strong feeling that spring is trying to show off. It is that time of year when everything feels a little brighter and a little more fun.

On to the February Card Chain Challenge. My card packed its bags and flew all the way to Greta in the USA, and I like to believe it enjoyed the trip and behaved itself the whole way. In return I received a gorgeous card from Julia in the USA, which was an absolute joy to open. The Card Chain Challenge really is international happy post at its best! 💚


For my card I used the 'xoxo' stamp from Penny Black and went with the bold colour theme of indigo, violet, and lime green. Apologies, the colours are acting up as my camera once again had other ideas.I created a stamped background using a polka dot stamp, then coloured everything with Promarkers. All the colour recipes I used are listed over on my Promarker Page. I added glossy accents, nuvo drops, flowers, glitter, gems, and flatback pearls ...because stopping at one embellishment is never an option! 

The Card Chain Challenge is one of those simple joys that never gets old. Sending a card out into the world and receiving one back always feels like a little pot of gold in the post.

Le Grá,
Wendy 🍀

I love your little girl in her pretty frame. The Card Chain Challenge is a simple joy that brings so much happiness. And we all need plenty of that at the moment. Mix it with a pinch of Spring sunshine and life feels like it's on the up! Thanks for being a link in our chain of creativity and friendship once again, Jo x

Love the cute little girl, beautiful colouring and shading-love the blue hair, turned mine green once many years ago, used to bleach my hais and put some silver highlights on which had a reaction and turned it green lol. Beautiful frame with the little flowers.
