06.15.2023…..Happy Thursday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I wanted to share a card that I created for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge! It’s a fun and creative “Stripes or Spots Challenge”. Each of our team members created a fancy project with this challenge, using products from the current Stampin’ Up catalogs. How cool is that?!?!?

I do love stripes, but spots and dots are definitely my fave! To create these dots, I used a Water Painter to add Tahitian Tide, Orchid Oasis, and Gorgeous Grape to Fluid 100 Watercolor Paper.

Be sure to join us to see what our Stampin’ Fancy Friday team created. We have 29 amazing projects to share, and each using their own unique interpretation of the challenge!

Then…..you create a card or project, with inspiration of your own (or use one from our team)…..using this Stripes or Spots Challenge! Share your project on IG or FB and tag us by using #stampinfancyfriday or #fancyfridaychallenges in your post.
