CCC for April 2023

 Happy Spring!

For the April Card Chain Challenge, I chose 3 options: the sketch, the colors AND the theme Spring! I used the colors charcoal, lime green and bumble bee to make my card pretty much copying the sketch but using many snippets of paper. I keep scraps in clear bags separated by color so it was easy to find almost matching remnants.

My card base is Stampin' Up! Basic Gray. From a nice piece of Daffodil Delight I cut the crisscrossed lines and some of the circles. All of the circles were done with retired SU punches. Much easier to punch them then it would have been to use dies. The green dots were punched from from an unknown c.s. and I used the biggest piece for the inside message rectangle. 

So here the card I made this time, the front and the inside. 

This stamped message is part of one I've had for ages, but never used. It is from Sprinkle N Sparkle, a defunct company. They made nice embossing powders and glitter. The complete message is inside so I photographed that too. Used an old Inkadinkadoo butterfly stamp and a springy Lilac bud from Flourishes another long gone company.    

                         

I've mailed the card so its winging its way to Norway. I don't image that it will be in time as the deadline is the last day of the month, but there is always hope. Right? I haven't heard if the card made it, but the sharing of all the cards shared is up, so an posting this today. Gosh, mail is so slow these days!

I am sending my card to the Snippets Playground #453 as my card front circles and stripe are made of snippets. I am also adding the card to NBUS #50 for May for the first time using the old greeting.
