It’s time for another of the Card Chain Swap Cards that we started in November. It’s a fun journey with 9 other Australian demonstrators. It is a card version of what is called “Chinese Whispers” in Australia. Each of us designed a card (in mailing round 1) and sent it off to one of the other participants. That person CASE-d (Copy And Share Everything / Copy And Selectively Edit) the card and send their version on to the next person. The card made its way around until finally a version came home to the maker. This is the second card in this series of blog hops for each of the card designs to share the fun and amazement at the evolution.

My card below was the 2nd version of the card made by Tracy Held, another fellow Victorian. So if you want to see how the design started out be sure to check hers out first and follow around in order. Some of the ladies blog and some share to their Facebook Pages (or both).

For my version of this card I chose to use papers from the “Peaceful Garden’ Designer Series Paper (#165917) in the feature layers on a Crumb Cake Cardstock Cardbase. Add some Secret Sea Cardstock to mat things. The embossing folder used on the Basic White Cardstock has unfortunately retired since I made this card, but you could substitute with folder of choice. The dove die cut is from the Peaceful Dove Bundle, cut from some of the DSP. Plus some Black & White & Gold & White Bakers Twine (#166005) and Iridescent Foil Gems (#162842).

The card itself has a wide ‘hinge’ on the left side, with only the triangular side with the dry embossed square actually opening.
