April 22 is “Earth Day” and that is the festivity we are recognizing for our new challenge at Festive Friday. To play along all you need to do is create a card or project that uses any 3 or more of the items from the Inspo list, you may choose to follow the festivity, or you may come up with any theme or idea you want – that’s totally up to you!

The background of my card was made by heat embossing in gold a world map stamp (old Stampin’ Up) and then using some blending brushes to add the green and blue. I used a paper distresser to roughen up the edges before adding it to the card base. Finally I used a stamp from a different Stampin’ Up set (Hold on to Hope) as I thought the sentiment fit perfectly when thinking about our incredible planet!
