Greetings!
It's time for my Card Chain Challenge July 2925 entry. May and June were busy busy months for me, so here I am for July! I've been doing this challenge for years and have loved making cards to send the world over. I've missed seeing you all with the cards you have made.
I made my card this month for Julia in Massachusetts. Hope she likes it. Do you? She has received it!!
Searching through my dies, I found a old die from PTI called Mega Mat Stack 2 and voila! I saw a vase! So I die cut 2 from SU Temping Turquoise card stock and and did some surgery making my vase. I used a circle punch punch to create the curved opening.
Next I looked and found a NBUS die from Altenew called Streamlined Sprig. I cut two in SU Olive Olive and lopped off the flower. Next I took the separate flower die from the set and cut two from Powder Pink card stock. I cut two of all the elements on this card for some dimension.
Before assembling the card, I embossed the vase with the retired SU/Sizzix embossing folder called Houndstooth. The sentiment is from the Taylored Expressions Simple Strips stamp and die set.
The card base, an A2 side opening one, is in SU's Smoky Slate card stock that I embossed with the Suble folder. I added a white piece inside and put the last pink flower in the corner. I'll write a note before mailing. I will add this card to NBUS Challenge #76.
It has been hot and humid lately here in MN, typical July weather. I'm glad I have air conditioning!
Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.
