Chain D.

 

 We started a fun journey with 10 other Australian demonstrators. We called it a "Chain Card Swap". It is a card version of what is called "Chinese Whispers" in Australia. Each of us designed a card (round 1) and sent it off to one of the other participants. That person CASE-d (Copy And Share Everything) 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. We are going to have a blog hop for each of the card designs to share the fun and amazement at the evolution. I received this gorgeous card from Carolina in Round 2. 

This is my interpretation of the card.

This cute card came in round 3 from the talented Nancy

This is my take on the card.
