Hello and Happy Friday! Time for a brand new Festive Friday Challenge. For #FF0057, our festivity is National Nurse’s Day, which is coming up May 12th. 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 the National Nurse’s Day – 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: Red - Get Well Sentiment - Blue - Hearts - Balloons - Green
So, I have to tell you a story. This is probably one of my favorite cards that I have EVER made! It’s no secret that I love bright and cheery colors and that was the inspiration for this card. When I looked at the Inspo List, I decided to pull out a stamp set from my collection that hasn’t seen a lot of ink: Meant to Be. I have used the coordinating Stitched BE Mine Dies a whole bunch, but the stamps, not so much. That was where the idea for the balloon bouquet popped into my head.
I was also super-inspired by the current As You See It Challenge, which features a rainbow theme. Rainbow cards just make my heart happy. I love all of the happy colors! I’ve listed all of the measurements and details below and there is also a full supply list at the end of this post.
My color combo for this card:
Here is the deal y'all, right now we all need some cards to share some sunshine and make someone’s day a little bit brighter. I chose a get well sentiment from the So Sentimental stamp set for my card because I have a friend who really needs it right now. But you could just as easily change out the sentiment to send some happy mail to one of your friends fro any occasion. This is also a FABULOUS card to use up all of those cardstock scraps in your craft room. You all know that you have them, if you are like me you probably have more of them than you’d care to admit to. Haha!
