Thanks for joining us for the another Festive Friday challenge. Have you ever played along with Festive Friday? There is a new challenge every second Friday. The challenge has an overall theme plus an inspiration list. You choose at least three of the inspiration elements and make a project. Your project can be a card, 3D item, or scrapbook layout and can reflect the main theme or just use the inspiration elements and have nothing to do with the theme. This is the inspiration list for this fortnight.
The theme for this fortnight is St Patrick’s Day. I used green, gold, shaped card and cloverleaf from the inspo list.
I did some out of the box thinking for my cloverleaf. The leaves are the hearts from the Bee Builder Punch. I usually struggle working with green, but Shy Shamrock was the perfect colour for this card. The sentiment and confetti are from the Arched Wishes stamp set which will be available next week in the new Online Exclusives. I used the small hearts form the Bee Builder Punch to decorate the inside.
Hop around and see what the others used for their inspiration
