Chain Card Swap A - Cheryl

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn

Today I'm joining the amazing Card Swap Chain Blog Hop with 10 amazing Australian cardmakers.  Our blog hop today is a celebration of the amazing cards we sent and received when we embarked on a fun journey sending cards to each other over a period of months.  It's a card version of "Chinese Whispers".  Each of us designed a card and sent if off to one of the other participants. That person then CASED the card and sent their own version to the next person.  To CASE is to Copy and Share Everything or to Copy And Selectively Edit.  Each person's card made it's way around all 10 of us until finally a verson came home to the designer.  And Now, we are sharing these gorgeous card designs with YOU.  Enjoy the amazingness of everyone's cards and designs.

Today we are sharing a wonderful card designed by Cheryl in Chain Swap  A.

 Follow the blog hop ALL the way around to see the evolution of her gorgeous card.

This was a really fun card to create!!  The detail is pretty amazing!!  I loved the card I received in the chain by Nancy using the Delicate Whispers bundel - it was stunning, so make sure you keep hopping to see her awesomeness!!  

The back of the card has the writing panel which works really well with all the amazing fun fold detail on the front.

I actually used this card as a project for a colour challenge - hence the VERY uncharacteristic use of bright pink for me!!  

The colours are Granny Apple Green, Berry Burst and Gray Granite for the stamping.

The amazing Branching Out dies works an absolute treat for the fabulous frame at the front.

When you fold the card flat it actually fits into a standard envelope - here it is folded wide out.  And here is Cheryl's lovely card that started us all off on this hop!!  

Make sure you keep hopping to see this amazing evolution!!

Lovely Arrangements
