Chain Card Swap Series 5 – following Julia’s card

If you haven’t seen our chain card swap blog hops before, Tracy Held decided to organise a group of Australian Stampin’ Up! demonstrators for a fun card swap idea. Each member in the group creates an original card, then sends it on to the next person on their list. They then have to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) this card, then send it on. The sending lists are random, so you are not sending to the same person each time. Once the card has been to everyone, it goes back to the designer – who may not even recognise it as their own design!

Once the round is completely finished, we can blog about the cards, with each blog hop following one of the cards from the original design to what was sent back to the designer.  This is the fifth series we have completed – I love the challenge of making each design my own!

For our sixth blog hop for this series, we are following Julia’s’s card. I was the seventh in this round. To see the progression of each card, I suggest you start at the top of the list of links below my post (if you haven’t already).

I have used paper from the Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper (DSP) pack. The card base is Secret Sea with a mat of Cloud Cover under the Basic White panel.

The floral images are from the Pretty Florals bundle, which co-ordinates with this DSP.

Time to continue on through the rest of the links, (or start at the top if you haven’t), to see the progression of Julia’s card.

Happy crafting!

  1. I love the simplicity of decoration in contrast to what’s quite a complicated card design Sharni.

  2. Beautiful case! Loving the colour combination and the pop of pink and purple!
