09.13.2023…..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“ For Him”. I really love this challenge, because creating a “guy” card can be a bit challenging sometimes. There are 20 awesome cards that our design team created for this challenge, and they are the perfect way to jump-start your creativity!

I absolutely love the new Forever Forest Bundle, and thought it would be just perfect for creating a “guy” card. To create the trees, I used Blending Brushes to add Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, and Gray Granite to Basic White Thick Cardstock. I then a Water Painter to splatter water droplets, and cut out the trees with the Forever Forest Dies.

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