The new challenge at Festive Friday is based on the National Day of Encouragement, coming up on September 12. This is a day to focus on uplifting the people around us. What a great day to send someone a card to let them know you care and are thinking of them! Below is the Inspo list to go with the challenge:

Even though the Inspo list is based on the holiday, your creation only has to include any 3 of the items from the list – whether it reflects the holiday or not is up to you!

I chose to use bright colors, flowers, and rhinestones. The flowers are from a Simon Says Stamp set, which I brightly colored with Copic markers. I then cut it out and mounted it on a background die for slimline cards from Pink Fresh Studio. I am loving the new slimline card size!

I chose a sentiment that I could use with any message I want to write on the inside, and added a few rhinestones to give my card a little extra sparkle.

The last day to link up your creation is Monday, August 31.
