Hello and Happy Friday! Time for a brand new Festive Friday Challenge. For #FF0052, our festivity is Carnival (Brazil), which is coming up February 21st - 26th. Our Inspo List features 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE (or more) of the items in your project and link up to the challenge! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about Carnival – at all! The selected festivity is just a unique way to come up with some fun and interesting ideas to inspire your creativity!
My Inspo List Picks: Bright Colors - Rhinestones - Foil Paper - Ribbon
As soon as I saw the challenge I knew that I was going to break out the adorable little critters from the Bonanza Buddies Bundle from the Stampin’ Up! Mini Catalog. Aren’t these little critters adorable? I mean, how CUTE is that little koala wearing his party hat?!
Color Combo:
I’ve listed all of the measurements and supplies for this bright and cheery birthday card below. I really let the DSP and dies do most of the work on this card. I also popped in a few fun little details, like the foil banner, trio of rhinestones and some Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to accent the little critters, which is tough to see in the photos.
