For the new Festive Friday Challenge #FF0085 that launches today, we are celebrating National Flag Week, so here is a card with stars, stripes and circles.
The celebration is what inspires us and we bring together the 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!

Lovely creation from the inspo list, Helen. The colors put me in mind of sherbet- very cool and summery!
These colors are lovely together, Helen! I LOVE how you created your own striped DSP using blends…you are so clever! Such a wonderful variety of stars! The embellishments are perfect.
