This month I took part in the April Card Chain Challenge organised by the lovely Deborah. She sets three challenges, a sketch, a colour theme and a subject and you choose which you prefer to use.
I received this stunning card from Barb in America, she followed the sketch and made this beauty she also sent me a little gift of some embellishments, including these lovely butterflies.
This is the card I sent to Deirdre in Ireland, I also followed the sketch, The stamps are all Hero Arts , I paperpieced the poppies and added some black seed beads to them. This challenge is great fun, its lovely to receive a beautiful handmade card and you are never quite sure which country it is coming from!

Gorgeous cards - love how you stamped the poppies, Jo x
Fabulous Sally. I do love your paper piecing. :) xx
Wonderful exchange of cards! Love your take on the design. I cheated and used twine for the stripes. :)
Love what you received Sally. I adore my card and it is sitting on my desk in front of me as I type. Thanks again for a wonderful creation. Hugs.
Your card is amazing, Sally...I love the paper-pieced poppies, they are just gorgeous! Barb did a lovely job on her card for you, too! I love how different the cards are even though using the same sketch, such wonderful creativity!
bless you,
