First Day of Fall - Festive Friday Challenge

First Day of Fall - Festive Friday Challenge

• Friday, 4 September 2020

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and a Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project.  We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list

 

This week’s challenge #FF0067 is First Day of Fall on September 23rd. Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you! 

For today's challenge, I selected leaves, stitching, gold, green and brown from this week’s Inspo List.  I hope you will join us in our challenge this week. I can’t wait to see what YOU create.  

 

I used the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle to create my card - what's more fall than beautiful sunflowers! To frame the sunflower, I created a stitched frame two largest dies from the Stitched Rectangle Dies and popped the frame up with Adhesive Foam Sheets.  The piece I cut out from the centre provides a beautiful background for the sunflower.

            

Such a pretty card in Bumble Bee and Early Espresso

                  

Vellum cardstock, Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper and Mossy Meadow leaves provide the perfect embellishment.

You can check out the instructions and supply list for this card below.
