It’s the second of the month and that can only mean one thing — reveal day at Card Chain Challenge! There were 26 players this month, sending little bits of happy mail around the world. Mine has gone to Chris in Illinois this time.
As usual, it’s a one layer card so it’s light and flat for airmailing. I used reverse masks to blend inks inside the glasses for my cocktails and regular masks so that I could put one glass behind the other and use a stencil for the background. Not sure what the colourful cocktail on the right is but I found a picture online and used it as a guide! I used water to lift a bit of the colour from the ice cubes and a tiny bit of white pencil on the highest spots as well for highlight lines on each glass.

This is great. Love your ink blended cocktails and that soft background is brilliant. You have definitely nailed the 'drinks by the pool vibe', well done xx
Several of us have chosen the Cocktail theme this month, Joanne! What wonderful ink blending you did on yours! A lovely mix of colors and pretty stencilled background! Love the bold CHEERS sentiment too! Julia xx

OH! I wouldn't mind tasting those lush cocktails. What beautiful colouring. x
Ooooooo, drinks by the pool - yes, please! Love your card, Joanne. I often try to guess which themes our players will pick and I had you down as a cocktails gal... In the nicest way of course. Thanks for joining the fun and being a link in our chain. Jo x
Wonderful Card.
