For the past few months, I have been taking part in what has been known as a chain mail card swap with fellow Aussie SU demos, although I do have a terrible habit of calling it a Chinese Whispers card swap. (Do you remember, the game Chinese Whispers you played as a child? The message never quite came out the same at the end as it started?) Well, cards in the chain mail swap can end up that way as well.
The first card in each blog hop is an original card and then it is posted to the next person on the list and they create their card, CASEing (Copy And Selectively Edit) the card they were mailed and post it onto the next person on the list and it continues on and on through the list. I've loved this challenge CASEing the cards every two weeks they arrived in my mailbox and am sad this round is over.
For our next blog hop, we are starting with Cheryl's card. I cheated and rotated this card 90° so that I could fit the motorbike from Legendary Ride in properly. Do you see the "tyre marks" on the smoky slate background? I made those using a toy car in an old inkpad. Took me a few toy cars to get the right impression but was interesting seeing the different looks the wheels created.
