Hello and welcome to the August 2018 Card
Chain Challenge Reveal!
Before we get into the reveal, I hope you won't mind if I put in a little plea. When you email a picture of your card please could you make sure that it is labelled with your name and the correct challenge month and year. You can do this by clicking on 'save as' and then calling your picture something like 'Mary - Ohio Aug 2018 '. When you are juggling 20+ photos, some of which may also be for the next month, every little helps!
We had 22 participants
who exchanged cards across the globe this month (making our total number
of exchanged cards 2,637 thus
far!) using at least one of the following options:
Colour Palette Option
or
Sketch Option
or
Theme Options: Lighthouse, Fruit or Friendship
or
Product / Technique Options: Stencils
And that brings us full circle.
Thank you, everyone, for sharing your artistic talent and doing your
part for global relations! We've now
exchanged over 2,637 cards by participants from 38 of the 50 United
States and 30 countries!!!
If you want to see more of these artists' card art, check out their
blogs and please leave 'em some love in the comments! (Don't forget to Pin your
favorites!)
