Card Chain Swap Reveal for April

 Morning and as it's the 2nd of the month it's time for the card reveal at The Card Chain Swap Challenge and 28 cards were exchanged.


I used the sketch and colour option using paper from The Paper Boutique and The Works and plastic flat backed beads from stash.

I sent my card to Julia in the USA and received this fabulous card from Gail in Norway.

Very cool layout design Carol! Love the bees for sure and the flat backed black beads for your stash work perfectly with it! A wonderful lovely swap you've received as well! How fun! :)

Oh Carol, what a fab layout. I was quite mesmerised by the design. I know I have said it before but it the black surround which sets it off so well and the flat backed pearls really pop!

Julia's card is so cute - perhaps that is another die I need to track down?

Fabulous cards and designs. Loving your bee paper and the black behind your papers really highlights your design and works beautifully with your black beads. Gail's gent in his polka dot trousers and floral brolly is so cool too! Michelle x
