April Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Here's my card for The Card Chain Challenge April reveal. I have joined every month since I first joined back in Septembrr last year and I do look forward to once a month receiving a card from a fellow card maker from anywhere in the world. Anyone can enter as long as you are willing to snail mail a card to another crafter.  If you'd like to join in for the May challenge, you can sign up here until til 6th.  

This is the card I sent to Imke in Germany

 
 
I followed the color palette  and I also had spring and wild, as in wild flowers, in mind.
 
The background was made with my favorte stencil, from Altenew, black paper and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide, and I used this together with Squeezed lemonade and Mustard seed to make the panel for the silhouette flower. I also added 3 rhinstones in a matching color. The flower die is Pinkfresh Studio floral squares and the hello is from a Missees set.



I received this beautiful card from Marga in Spain - thank you:)
 
 
And after hitchhiking its way from Greece since March I have also now received the oh so sweet card from Marianne in Greece

I love the dramatic background Pia, the Oxide ink looks fabulous on the dark card stock! I’m glad Marianne’s March little piggy finally found his way to you, he’s super-sweet.

It is great how they usually turn up in the end, but it does make you wonder what happens to them on their journey. So glad Mariannes card arrived. I love your card this month, that background is stunning and it looks amazing behind that vibrant yellow xx
