Tales From the Sofa

Hello Nomad friends.  2nd of the month and time for the Card Chain Challenge Reveal.  It's the culmination of much work by many artists and it is truly a thing of beauty.  Anyone have any ideas about why the Card Chain Challenge 'sidebar' has relocated itself as a 'footer'.  Jo, Head of Technical Services has been trying to work it out, but no joy.  My idea of 'maybe it will fix itself??' has been of little use bwahaahahaaaa.  Anyway, enough IT nonsense, lets get to the important things.....

I got a beautiful card from Mia in Greece and my card is winging it's way to Joanne in the UK, via two holes in the ground, a slow boat to China and a whole flock of confused pigeons.  I used the options of Postal and Friendship. 


 This evolved far from my original idea, but I hope Joanne likes the final result.  This glorious lion from Funky Fossil was actually supposed to be on another project, but once he dropped on the desk onto of that retro scrap with a couple of arrows pointed at his head it all seemed serendipitous.  The arrows and postage stamps are from an ephemera pack and the heart and sentiment are Lost Coast Designs stamps.  I coloured the lion with distress markers.

Your card is such fun Gail, I love how the elements came together. You can't beat the fun of making acollage card and rediscovering all the things in the 'might come in useful one day' box(es)!
Presumably you've checked that all is in order in the 'Layout' section on CCC blog dashboard?

What a great design, Gail! Wonderful postal images and love the steampunk lion, how precipitous that he landed on your work table! Julia xx

Oh, this looks like a fun collage Gail, I love the lion in his sartorial finery! I’m sure it will be even more fun when those pigeons get themselves oriented and find my letterbox!
