March Card Chain

For over a year now, Deborah has been organizing us in a card chain - you sign up each month, and then make a card for someone, and receive a card from someone else!  Deborah gives us a sketch, a color palette, and some themes, or we can go out on our own and just make what we'd like.  This month I received this gorgeous spring beauty from Clare:


Isn't it exactly right for this time of year?  So sweet!  And here's the one I sent to Sheila, following the sketch and using most of the suggested colors:


This month we had 58 participants!!  If you'd like to join in the fun, just check Deborah's Blog about the 25th of the month onward, and she'll have a sign-up post.

You lucky lady, receiving that pretty, springtime card from Clare! Love the one you sent to Sheila too! Fun take on the sketch with the cut out and beautiful bird!

These are all so lovely! TFS! Hope you have a great day :)

What a case of contrasts....both cards represent a beautiful spring theme, yours with rich bold color and design and Clare's with softness of color and a bit of whimsy. Of course I love them both! And I love the CCC too...such a fun "little" exercise in global diplomacy!
