08.21.2023…..Happy Monday, my stampin’ friends! Today, I wanted to share a card that I created for this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday challenge! It’s a super fun“ Sketch Challenge”. I always love a sketch challenge, because it’s the perfect way to jump-start your creativity!

I always love a sketch challenge. I’m also totally obsessed with two of the new SU colors…..Lemon Lolly and Bubble Bath. So, of course I had to use those colors for this month’s challenge. To die cut the flowers, I used the Sentimental Park Dies, and then used the Exposed Brick 3D EF and the Quatrefoil Tile EF to add some extra texture.

Be sure to join us to see what our Stampin’ Fancy Friday team created. We have 33 amazing projects to share this month, 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 sketch challange! Share your project on IG or FB and tag us by using #stampinfancyfriday or #fancyfridaychallenges in your post.
