Card Chain Challenge for July 2023

 Hello There~

My card this month has been sent to Greece. Hopefully it will get there by the end of the month as per the rules. I have already received mine that came from England!

Here is the card and the inside too:

I am not sure why the inside picture looks like it is on cream cardstock, but in real life it matches the front white. The green dsp looks okay, though. That is by SU from the new Glorious Gincham pack and is called Lemon Lime Twist. 

Here is how I made this card:

White cardstock from PTI embosed with oldie from Darice called Quilt Blocks. The four corners of this mimics the sketch suggestion this month. I love all the shapes in the ef so used more with my use of the patterend paper. 

To cut out the circle and square I used two retired Su/Sizzix Stitched Shapes. I followed a video online on how to curve a clear stamp to show near a circle. The sentiment from Concord & 9th is called Kids Are Grand. This is still available. 

Finally, I took an ancient Stampendos stamp called Happy Messages for the finishing word inside. My cardbase is SU Basic Black and the ink VersaFine Onyx Black which are two of my go-to's.

So, my card uses three ideas from the challenge this time!

Theme Options: Fish/Circles/Friendship

I hope you all are having a nice summer and staying safe. I love all the green and flowers here in MN.

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will come by again.
