It is time for a new Festive Friday Challenge and I have created a slider easel card for International Women’s Day
This challenge #FF0078 has used International Women’s day as its inspiration when we put together the following Inspo list.
The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project in our card making and paper crafting challenge. Incorporate THREE of the items in your project and link up! And guess what? Your project doesn’t have to be about the theme at all! The selected festivity is just a unique way to come up with a fun and interesting inspiration list!
My project used: heart, flowers, shoes, fun fold, female sentiment, lipstick
My Project
I love this sentiment. I’m not sure I often feel graceful and wise, but I am a work in progress. There are lots of ladies (and of course some guys) who definitely do manage to pull this off. As I was creating this card, I was reflecting on the wonderful women I have lived alongside in my life. My wonderful Mum, my Sister, my gorgeous girls and of course my great friends.
Mum has not been with us for a number of years now and I am of course missing friends and family dreadfully. But thinking about them makes me smile.
Products Used
I kept to a very simple colour palette for my card. I loved the pop of Real Red.
