September Card Chain Challenge

Card Chain Challenge

I rarely use the sketch option but I'm using that option this month.  I used the same top die as the card is made from, but cut it in red, then trimmed it to make the design similar to the sketch.  I thought the small boats fit perfectly to fit the design.  This was stretching for me.

You still have time to join the October challenge at Card Chain Challenge until October 6th.

Really pretty cover die and the deep red looks great with the crisp white, lovely design Arlene.

This is just gorgeous. I always struggle with sketches and actually used it this month too. I do love that die. You may have found it stretching but you pulled it off brilliantly xx
