Your Friendship Is Everything

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.

Since the Inspiration List is a mix of elements related to the festivity, the creator has the choice to make something for that festivity, or to ignore the festivity all together and create something just using three (or more) elements selected.

Today's festivities are in celebration of International Friendship day, which take place on August 1st.  The challenge runs from  July 9th - July 19.

I like to create a card for our challenge that goes with the celebration theme. This one is so easy that it's hard in a way, to choose supplies, sentiments, recipient, etc. 

 I decided to use a floral image for my card. I chose Altenew's Weekend Doodles stamps and dies. To create some interest in the background and to ground my floral image, I stamped two triple stripe images from PTI Background Basics Super Stripes. I colored the floral image with Inktense pencils, die cut it and popped it up over the stripes with foam tape. The sentiment is from Pinkfresh Studio Starburst Circles. It is stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed with clear EP. I added a few sequins, and my card was complete! I used Friendship sentiment, pink, rhinestones (sequins) 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!

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.

Since the Inspiration List is a mix of elements related to the festivity, the creator has the choice to make something for that actual festivity, or to ignore the festivity all together and create something using just the elements selected.

I created my project to go with the theme and used bright colors, heart(s), and an uplifting sentiment. Watercoloring is done with Zigs and Inktense Pencils.

FF0066 is a celebration of National Day Of Encouragement. See the Inspiration List above. It has lots of wonderful elements to choose from.
