Explosion of Colour

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the second of the month so time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal.  If you don't know, this is an international card exchange that runs ever month, come rain, storm, fire or pandemic.  Yep, we don't even let a pandemic stop us sending love around the world one card at a time.  In fact, since the first cards were sent over 3530 cards have been exchanged!!!!  This month my card went to Gundi in Germany.

I wanted to use the option colours red, green and yellow, and scraps, so I paper pieced my Prima doll and made a brusho background.  It felt a bit empty on the left so I hunted for a border or die cut that would suit and stumbled on loads of goldline stickers.  Pretty gold flower borders and then I had a moment and added loads of red holographic dots to the flower centres.  Actually quite a therapeutic exercise, except when they pinged off and vanished!  Poof!!!  I expect the cat will find them and go around looking very pretty.  Then a little sticker butterfly to finish.  

If you would like to join the fun you can SIGN UP for the February exchange.

Do hop over and check out the JANUARY REVEAL cos it's amazing!

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

    Love your artsy card, Gail, and the border was a great find from your stash.
    I haven't had my brushos out in a very very long time. Thanks for the inspiration to get them out of hiding...

    This really caught my eye in the gallery as I love my JN dolls. The paper piecing paper you have used for her dress is so very clever and the whole thing looks amazing.
    Thank you for joining us at Allsorts challenge.

    This is beautiful Gail. I love that paper pieced dress and amazing brusho background. Well done for keeping the colours beautifully separate. I would end up with a muddy mess. You must have had some patience that day to stick those tiny bits on the flowers. Bet you find those lost bits stuck to something or somewhere you least expect them to be xx

    I love this card!!! She makes me dream of summer. I especially like the brusho background and the elegant lady in her beautiful summer dress.

    The background makes me think of photographic bokeh - lovely background for your Prima doll with her fabulous paper-pieced dress Gail!
