Happy Friday.
It’s another challenge across at FestiveFriday this week and we are celebrating National Chess Day. Who knew there was such a thing. Now, I do play chess, but must admit I haven’t played in years as I just don’t have the patience for it! :-). So, I think you can guess that my card does not include chess pieces :-). Instead, I used the Waffle Flower Open Book set again and paired it with the Stencil set called Dragon Castle – also from Waffle Flower.
Here’s a sneak peek:

And here is our INSPO list for this week. As a reminder, sticking with the celebration theme isn’t required. All you need to do is include at least 3 items from our INSPO list in your creation.

For my card I went with black, castle, encouraging sentiment. I began by die-cutting the Open Book and then used my Dragon Castle stencils to create the scene. The sentiment is from the Open Book sentiments. I used an old piece of Stampin’ Up! DSP for the background and popped up the book with foam.
Here’s my card:

I hope you will join us and play along this week. We would love to see what YOU create with our INSPO list. As always, the design team have some fabulous inspiration for you.
