Dia daoibh!
September has arrived, and I have reached that very productive stage of the year where I look at everything I meant to organise months ago and think, “Ah sure, there’s always next year.” Efficient. Stress free. Highly recommended. And with that impressive level of organisation, it is time for the Card Chain Challenge!
This month, my card packed its bags and headed off to Beate in Germany, while in return I received a fab card all the way from Julia in the USA. Honestly, my cards are better travelled than I am.
For this one, I chose the Make It Funny theme, along with the colour palette of peony, scarlet and plum. Then I brought out Art Impressions' Shake Your Booty Bloomer set (because nothing says friendship quite like posting someone a magnificent pair of bloomers!) 😂 The image was coloured with Promarkers, with a little sparkle added to those fabulous hearts. The German sentiment reads “Das Leben hat auch schöne Kehrseiten!”, which translates roughly as “Life has its beautiful reverse sides too!” A rather perfect sentiment when the star of the card is, quite literally, a backside! I only mounted the bloomer part on the front of the card and sent Beate the lady separately, so she can mount her inside the card if she wishes. Basically, some assembly may be required. IKEA, but with underwear.
And because one slightly bonkers lady clearly was not enough, I also made a little CAS card using Art Impressions' Loads of Fun set. Again, she was coloured with Promarkers and kept clean and simple. There she is, balancing proudly on the ironing board while the iron sits safely on the floor. Health and safety have left the building.
That is what I love about the Card Chain Challenge. You never quite know what is going to arrive through your letterbox. It might be elegant, floral, beautifully intricate... or it might be a large pair of sparkly bloomers arriving from Ireland.
Either way, the postman has questions.
Sláinte,

Such funny creations Wendy, well done following the "funny" option. Absolutely love how these turned out and I am sure Beate was thrilled!
Fantastic Wendy, love the sparkly bloomers and you’re right, the sentiment is perfect with the image! Your extra is great fun too (and H&S can sling their hook — that iron is not plugged in 😉).
How fun are both of your creations using these fun AI images, Wendy! Love how you added a German sentiment for Beate's card. A great design with you image framed in the circle (!) with the added hearts and dots! Julia xx
Hahah this is brilliant! I love this kind of humour!
such fabulous humorous cards wendy, just love this.
These cards are both CAS winners! I only wish I had a pair of those heart bloomers and could balance so perfectly on my ironing board.
Totally LOVE both cards, Wendy! I wish I had the ironing board lady as she's hilarious... Must go shopping. Thanks for being a fab link in our chain again. Jo x
