This new Festive Friday Challenge has inspired a card with paper weaving and watercolour in pastel colours
Challenge #FF0096 celebrates World Kindness Day which happens on November 13th and is a very worthwhile thing to be celebrating. ” In a World where you can be anything, be kind.”
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: flowers, pearls, embossing, thank you sentiment, weaving, pastel colours and shimmer
You can see all the products I used at the end of the post, including links to my online store.
