Party Time!

It's time for a new challenge at Festive Friday where every challenge is an inspiration list based on a selected holiday/festivity from the traditional to the unusual. Challenge projects must include at least three items from the festivity inspiration list. Your project does not have to go with the challenge theme. You can just use 3 or more items from the inspo list for your creation.

Today's festivities are inspired by World Party Day, which takes place on April 3rd. The challenge runs from March 18th to March 28th.

I just had to add the following here, as it is the most perfect time in our world for this:

The inspiration for World Party Day stems from a novel entitled, “Flight: A Quantum Fiction Novel” written by American author, Vanna Bonta. Published in 1995, the novel ends with — spoiler alert — a big party. Actually, it ends with a synchronized worldwide celebration that takes place on April 3. In real life, groups of people found each other sharing the same goals of peace and the want to utilize human intelligence and resources toward global humanitarian progress. Bringing together people in the name of social change, it became a worldwide phenomenon involving millions of people, corporations, and organizations working together to contribute positively to the future of the earth and humanity.

I like to create a card for our challenge that goes with the theme. For this one, I used Catherine Pooler's Ocean Chums stamps and dies and colored them with Copics. The jelly is brushed with clear Wink Of Stella. I popped the die cuts up and placed them on an embossed panel (I don't know the name) which I framed with the beautiful Pinkfresh stitched scallop rectangles that I received as a gift from a dear friend. I adhered the top panel to the card base using fun foam and my card was complete.

I used sparkle, bright colors, celebratory sentiment and layers from the inspo list.

Come play with us! Remember that your project does not have to go with the challenge theme. You can just use 3 or more items from the inspo list for your creation!
