Hello Friends

 Hello,

This card was made for the October Card Chain Challenge and it is wending its way to Illinois. I hope Ellie likes it.

It was difficult getting a good picture that shows both the embossed flower and stem and the greeting. This shows it fairly well taken with my old Kodak camera. 

The flower and sentiment are both from SU retired set called Inked & Tiled. My cardbase is Not Quite Navy. Using my MISTI, I stamped the flower image with VersaMark and sprinkled on two WOW glitter embossing powders. Metaline Kiwi Krush and Carousel are the colors. 

To cover a boo-boo, I used an old oval punch to cut an opening that turned out to be perfect for my Hello Friend greeting from the above set too. I stamped through the opening onto white cardstock on the inside. Had to use a stamping block for that, something I hadn't used in ages. Do you all use your blocks anymore?

I mimicked the color of the flower with three sticky dots from my bling drawer and was done. I just wrote a note before mailing on the paper inside.

Here are the options for October. I like doing friendship cards.

Theme Options: Wee Folk (Fairies, Elves, Gnomes etc.) / Trees / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Glitter / Splatts

After a lovely autumn day here and it is time to get to bed. Night night and happy stamping!

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