July traditionally has the fewest amount of participants because its the favorite month for people to take their well-deserved vacations. This July's CCC had eight participants who made some terrific cards using the following challenge options (you could use as many of the following options as you wanted, but you were only required to use one of them):
Color Palette
OR
Sketch
OR
One of the following themes: Allegiance (to country, state, team, etc) or Wild Animals or Friends
OR
One of the following products/techniques: Perfect Pearls or Liquid Pearls
And here they are... the July, 2013, CCC's!!!

Basically, you make a card for the person above you on the chain and you receive a card from the person below you on the chain. It's a personalized swap, sort of, and it's a ton of fun! Go here for past Chains.
