Card Chain Swap Reveal

 Morning and time for the Card Chain Challenge reveal and 22 cards were exchanged-I used the colour option and my card went to Hilary in the UK and I received a cute Spring card from Gail in Canada. I made a W fold  card using Crafters Companion paper, my favourite things circle dies and stamps from Pickled Pear and Chocolate Baroque, coloured with promarkers.




PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES-I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER

A fabulous fold with those beautiful almost neutral papers and the stamped panels inside that look like they were meant to be! The ink color is a perfect match. I know Hilary appreciated the time and talent required in the making of this card!

What an absolutely brilliant card chain swap reveal! 🌟 It’s like Christmas morning for crafters—so many gorgeous designs in one place! Your creation is stunning , and I love how your unique style shines through. Swap posts like this remind me why I love the crafting community—it’s like a giant, glittery hug across the miles! ✨💌 Though I suspect my own attempts would end up looking like a toddler attacked a glitter factory… 😅 Thanks for the mega dose of inspiration and for joining Ally’s Angels Challenge Blog—can’t wait for the next swap! (And maybe I’ll even brave signing up… after I stock up on glue and bandaids.)
