The Greetery Hand in Hand for Festive Friday Challenge #197

Happy Friday.

It’s another INSPO list challenge across at Festive Friday an this week we are celebrating National Family Week. For my card I went really clean and simple using an image from The Greetery stamp and die sets called Hand in Hand. As always with our Festive Friday challenge, you don’t need to follow the theme, we just ask that you use at least three items from our INSPO list.

Here’s a sneak peek of my card:

And here is our INSPO list for this challenge:

For my card I stamped the focal image, watercolored it and then die-cut with the matching dies. I used a stencil from the Greetery called Fir & Foliage Stencil 1 to create the tree in the background. I stamped the umbrella image from the set and then again onto patterned paper to create the envelope. I fussy cut the second image and glued it onto the first image of the umbrella. I popped that up with foam tape.

I die-cut a frame from an old My Favorite Things die set and used that to create a “photo” for my main characters. When I popped up the umbrella, I made sure that it was just over the border of the frame to add a little interest.

I cut a panel of red cardstock to add interest and also pick up the colors in my stamped images. I added the sentiment from the set and my card was complete.

Here’s my full card:

INSPO list items used: Bright colors, patterned paper, parent and child, photo frame
