Dia daoibh!
May is that month where you suddenly remember all the things you said you would start in January… and confidently decide June sounds like a better time. Productivity at its finest.
Now onto the April Card Chain Challenge!
This month I received an absolutely gorgeous card from Gail in Canada, full of lovely detail and just a joy to open. She also sent a lovely wee present, which I am definitely turning into wee bookmarks for work… practical and fancy, I 💗it!!!! Meanwhile, my card packed its bags and flew off to Linda in Michigan. I like to imagine it went through security like a tiny VIP… “any liquids, glitter or embellishments?” Absolutely.
For my card, I went with the friendship theme along with the colour palette of peony, white and leaf green. Soft, pretty, and behaving themselves nicely together. I used the Spellbinders Lively Blooms die set along with the Field Notes Twine Etched Dies, all cut from Tonic Studios cardstock. I kept it CAS, but added a bit of personality with glossy accents and a touch of iridescent glitter (I simply cannot be left unsupervised around sparkle 😄). The sentiment was stamped with Memento ink to finish it off nice and crisp.
Now, why should you join the Card Chain Challenge? Because it is basically happy post roulette. You send a card out into the world and in return, one lands back with you from somewhere completely different. It is like having pen pals… but with better handwriting and far more glitter.
Also, your postman will start to think you have a very exciting social life. And honestly, let him. We have earned that reputation.
Right, I am off to admire my stash like it might magically organise itself… any minute now.

What a gorgeous spring posy Wendy, so fresh and pretty! I’m sure this was a treat to open when it arrived at its new home!
Beautiful use of the colors on your lovely card Wendy! SO pretty with the two part blooms, the bright greenery and loopy white bow! Julia xx
What a gorgeous CAS creation, Wendy! I love this soooooooo much. I'm with you on the glitter - everything should sparkle and shine. Thanks for being a link in our chain of creativity and friendship, it's good to have you play along, Jo x

Love your pink blossom bouquet with all its glitter, Wendy! So pretty on the field note label too!!
Such a beautiful card, Wendy! Not only are your florals pretty I love the added white swirl in the background. The littlest touches can really elevate a card and this one is so classy! Thanks for playing along at Seize the Birthday.

It's absolutely beautiful with the pretty shades of pink and white. I am sure Linda was thrilled! I hope to get back to the CCC again soon now that my vacation/holiday is over and the vegetable garden/flowers are planted.
Thanks so much for joining in the fun at "I spy with my little eye" challenge! So happy you played along!
