It's reveal day for the final Card Chain Challenge of 2019. My card has gone across the Pond to Jeanne in Minnesota this time and I received a lovely card from Arlene.
From the options on offer I chose the colour scheme of silver, pine and ice blue and the theme of trees. The silver needs the right angle but it really is there, honest!
I used oldie but goodie Lovely As a Tree (a shock retirement from the Stampin' Up catalogue this year) and a sentiment from Hero Arts combined with some Distress inks used as watercolours and a silver gel pen for a simple, unembellished card that's easy to airmail.
Stamps:
Lovely As a Tree (Stampin' Up!)
Truly Appreciated (Hero Arts)
Paper:
Watercolour
Bristol board
Ink:
Versafine by Tsukineko (Onyx Black)
Tim Holtz Distress ink by Ranger (Tumbled Glass, Pine Needles)
Shadow ink by Hero Arts (Soft Granite)
Other:
A6 Stitched Rectangle dies (Paper Rose)
Silver gel pen
Big thank you to the Card Chain Challenge team for organising the challenges, it’s a lovely thing to take part in with the treat of receiving a hand made card each month. Maybe you’ll join us in 2020? Look out for January’s chain!
Thanks for stopping by!

Great card, love those wintry trees with that watercolour background. I can imagine the shimmery silver adding a special quality to the finished look xx
Beautiful card, joanne. I wasn't sure about the colours at first but when I began working with them I realised that they were a lovely combo. Thanks for your kind comments about CCC - so glad to have you in our chain of friendship, Jo x
