Card Chain Swap

 


Morning and time for the Card Chain Swap reveal and 26 cards were exchanged,my card went to Gail in Canada.

 

As Hull once had a Whaling fleet and was a big fishing port and I love lighthouses(even though we don't have one lol)I went with the Maritime theme.The fabulous B.paper is from CraftOClock, the stamps and sentiment are a set bought off a FB declutter page,which I stamped and clear embossed.


 

I received a beautiful card came from Julia in the U.S.A.

Fabulous card, the background has beautiful texture (or at least looks like it does if it's really just paper) and has wonderful ocean details. Great card! Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.

What a beautiful collage.

Suzanne Reynolds said...

Carol, love the style of your card, great combination of images for your sea theme and the clear heat embossing really makes it shine. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble; however you might want to check out Park Hopping, who we are collaborating with, because I'm sure there is a theme park element that would qualify your beautiful card in their challenge. I have tried to email you and you might want to check your trash or email to see if it went in those instead of inbox re your prize for #168.

I think your card is just wow. Stunning use of your stamps and a beautiful nautical background. I love the feel your card gives. Those little shells at the bottom of your card are so well placed. They complete the sea and beach design. Just fabulous.

Your maritime-themed card is wonderfully nostalgic and fitting for Hull's history! The CraftOClock paper brings a vibrant backdrop, complementing the stamped images and sentiment that add a personal touch. The clear embossing adds a classy finish, capturing the essence of Hull's maritime heritage beautifully.

What an amazing background. I bet the embossed stamping gives it lovely shine and dimension in real life xx
