Festive Friday #138 - World Conservation Day / Stamping With Melva

Festive Friday #138 - World Conservation Day

Friday 7 July 2023

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge! Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and an Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project. We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.

This week’s challenge FF #138 - World Conservation Day

Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you!

I chose foliage, Thank You sentiment and vellum from the Inspo List and combined the Cottage Wreath Bundle with a die from the Seasonal Branches Bundle and a sentiment from Inked & Tiled Stamp Set. I love to combine different bundles and stamp sets when one bundle doesn't have just the right image or sentiment.

Check out this bright and cheery wreath card.
