Festive Friday #0182 - Earth Day / Stamping With Melva

Festive Friday #0182 - Earth Day

Friday, 11 April 2025

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.

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!

This week’s challenge FF # 182 - Earth Day

What would you choose from the Inspo List? I chose earthy colours, burlap, splattering and plants for this pretty card featuring products from the Botanical Textures Suite available in my Online Store.
