Festive Friday Challenges #145 - Halloween

Friday 13 October 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 #145 - Halloween

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!

Today we're sharing projects celebrating Halloween. I've chose black, silver and stencil from the Inspo List. My card isn't really Halloween, but fits the challenge. I decided to focus on the Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. I absolutely love these masks especially the flower ones that can be layered.

Aren't they gorgeous in purples!
