Card Chain Challenge Swap

 Morning and time for the card swap reveal for June, 20 cards were exchanged and my card went to Jo in the UK and I used the sketch option, rip it up and beginning with TU-tuck spot for the die cut foliage. The die-cuts were from Stampin Up, John Next Door, and Hero Arts. Scrip stamp was a craft mag freebie years ago, p, paper from Paper Favourites and corrugated card was recycled packaging.


Beautiful card received  was from Ashwini in India(her first swap)



Please note if any challenges have digital images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

TU is for tuck! How clever of you, Carol, I was stumped by the TU option and could only think of TUna fish. Lots of our players thought of TUlip which was another good option. I'm so happy to be the recipient of your lovely card - it's so classy. Thanks for playing at CCC again, Jo x

Your card is such a wonderful blend of texture and earth-toned elegance! The tucked-in foliage is such a clever interpretation of the prompt—so inventive and visually grounding. I love how you combined recycled elements with designer touches; it gives the card both character and heart. The card you received from Ashwini is a gem too—what a lovely pairing for the swap!
