Festive Friday Challenge #146 - Remembrance Day/Veteran's Day / Stamping With Melva

Festive Friday Challenge #146 - Remembrance Day/Veteran's Day

Friday, 27 October 2023

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge! Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and an 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 FF #146 - Remembrance Day/Veteran's Day

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!

Today we're sharing cards celebrating Remembrance or Veteran's Day. In Canada it's Remembrance Day and it's a holiday across many parts of Canada. There are events held at local Cenotaphs at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month to commemorate the end of World War I. Everyone wears poppies leading up to November 11th.

I used red, black and poppies from the Inspo list to create my card using the Stampin' Up! Season of Chic Bundle. I love how it turned out.
