January Card Chain Challenge Reveal

 As always, it's a delight to make something for a friend and I am delighted to send this card to Linda, who is on the Die Cut Divas' Team with me.  All the cards are posted at Card Chain Challenge for January.

Check out the Card Chain Challenge directions below for January's challenge - so many opportunities and it's always such a pleasure to receive a beautiful handmade card.  Even though it's too late to enter January's challenge, so be sure to enter the challenge for February.  You have up to February 7th to enter.

I made two cards at the same time in late December, this card on the same day.  I had two rectangles of this green, blue and purple paper left from other cards and managed to cut the lower half from one piece and the upper half from the other.  This was the first time I used this panel die and was able to make two cards with leftovers.  I added the flowers after cutting out the circle (Book Club die cut) that was in the middle of the flowers.  I am so happy with the finished card.  

I used three CCC theme options of NEW/SCRAPS/FRIENDSHIP in this way:

New: die (Frantic Stamper)  I made this card before the card I showed on my blog on December 26th, so technically, the die is brand new.

Scraps: digital background scraps  

Friendship: sentiment "friend"
