Not Lost In Transylvania

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the second of the month and time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal.  Make a card, send a card, get a card.   Everyone gets a card.  Everyone's a winner.  And at the moment the Card Chain Challenge is being sponsored by Relatively Thoughtful so somebody is gonna be extra lucky.....

We have just celebrated 15 years of the Card Chain Challenge.  15 years of sending love around the planet one card at a time.  The birthday present winners have been announced so don't forget to check that post too.

This month is a bit of a mirror deja vu for me as my sender and recipient are the same as when I first joined up, but round the other way.  I got a lovely card from Greta in Oregan.  My card went to Jo in the UK and I used the options of Bear, Friendship and Transylvanian.

Transylvania means literally "through the woods" or "beyond the woods"

I made a green distress ink smoochy background and stamped Lost Coast Designs Tall Trees with London Fog ink.  The sentiment is by Carmen's Veranda, as are the two words I used on the Cheery Lynn die cut sign.  The grass is Mama Elephant die and the bear is sizzix.  I stamped the bear's face with a Pink and Main stamp.  The bear and the sign and the grass were all made from scraps from the brown box. 

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz
