In the Twilight Burning

Hello Nomad friends.  It's the second of the month and time for the Card Chain Challenge reveal.  25 amazing cardmakers took part in the November exchange and cards went whizzing their way around the planet.  Some are still whizzing, but I am hopeful they will soon all land safely.  I received a beautiful card from Michaela in Austria, thanks Michaela, and my card went to Wendy in Ireland.  Top of the morning to you Wendy.

 
 I went with the colour options, and if anyone other than me is not sure, Crackling Campfire is not red!!   Good job we don't expect exact colour matching bwhahahaahahaa.  I also went with the feather option, choosing to leave mine on the bird, and abstract, doing a little abstract stencilling in the background using bits from a sizzix layered set.  The gorgeous toucan is a Creative Expressions Papercuts die on it's first outing (NBUS) and I offset the stencilled panel on my pale blue cardbase.
 
 If you would like to see all the cards that were sent this month hop over and check out the REVEAL 

If you would like to join the fun the November SIGN UP is open until the 6th 

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Love your toucan, Gail - fabulous on the stenciled background! And yes thank goodness for wiggle room on the color shades - mine read a bit orange too...

Oh I love that bird die, so special and your inking behind it helps it pop perfectly. Crackling campfire may not be red, but it is a great colour xx

Sorry I'm so late commenting Gail - we were away for Thanksgiving and I'm just catching up on everything! What a stunning design! Love that die cut bird in the foliage in black over your wonderful inked/stenciled background! Julia xx
