Chain Card Blog Hop - Tracy

At the beginning of October, Tracy started me on a fun journey with 10 other Australian demonstrators. We called it a "Chain Card Swap", a card version of what is called "Chinese Whispers" in Australia, also known as "Telephone" in the US and "Broken Telephone" in South Africa. Each of us designed a card (round 1) and sent it off to one of the other participants. That person CASE'd (Copy And Share Everything) the card and send their version on to the next person. Each card made its way around until finally a version came home to the maker. This was such a fun journey, and so interesting to see how the cards evolved with each round. We are going to have a blog hop for each of the card designs to share the fun and amazement at the evolution.

For our final post in this swap we have Tracy's beautiful floral gate-fold card as our starting off project. If you haven't started at her blog I would strongly encourage you to go to her blog now and follow the hop order in the link at the end of this post so you can see the progression of this lovely card.

My card came in at round 8, so a little bit down the creative path.  Similarities that remain are the central focal image, use of DSP and floral theme; and at a stretch a fancy fold!  I really love this card and the Perennial Lavender DSP I've used, I am so happy that this is actually carrying over into the  new Annual Catalogue so I'll get to keep using it for another year!

Time to keep hopping to see how my card was interpreted

Happy Stamping
