Hooray! It’s Friday, and it’s time for another challenge for Fab Friday. This is my second challenge with this wonderful design team. FIVE colors were selected for this week’s color challenge – Basic Black, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry, Strawberry Slush and Whisper White. What a brilliant combination! Hooray! Here’s my card:
And here’s the banner from this week’s challenge:
Tips, Tricks and Reminders
- FIVE Colors. Are you kidding me?! I don’t think I’ve completed a challenge with FIVE colors before. Luckily, all five of these colors are featured in Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper. While I used the paper on this card, I didn’t rely on the paper to give me the colors. Instead, I relied on my Stampin’ Write Markers and a great sentiment stamp from the Hip Hip Hooray Card Kit.
- Painting Stamps with Markers. I am impressed by stampers who professionally “paint” their stamps with Stampin’ Write Markers. I am not one of those people – with several attempts, I can make it work, but never on the first try. THIS stamp is perfect for “maker painting.” Why? Because the image has a rough texture, so it’s OK if I mess up a bit.
- A Tinge of Fringe. What stands out the most on this card? Is it the colorful stamp? Is it the panel of textured paper? It’s the fringed circle that causes such a frenzy here. A tinge of fringy frenzy? Yes? No? When you fringe a straight piece, you can get a super-clean fringe. Fringing a circle, though, you have to be super-careful to snip different angles to yield different lengths of fringe.

Super cute card Brian. I love the color combination and the designer paper pulls it all together. I think the fringe adds another dimension to the card, while the embossing adds texture. Awesome job
SUPER-FABULOUS fringe-tastically circular expealidocious-ness Brian!! You already know I love these colors and this was the first DSP I ordered from the ever so-Spring-y Everyday Occasions Catalog. Thank you Swatchbooks by Stamp with Brian!!! I SO hope we will have those to look forward to for the (squeal) BIG SU main catalog in a few months. Ahem. 😉
Oh, and thank you Brian for creating and sharing this AMAZINGLY AWESOME card!!!
🙂 AND have a back flip-worthy weekend everyone!!!
Spot on! : )
WOW! You really out did yourself on his card, it’s such an up lifting happy color combination & design. Thanks for the inspiration.
Well, how cute is this ? Dots and fringe and super cute sentiment ! It really is a perfect card for Fab Friday ! I think I need to keep practicing using markers on my stamps . It never looks good to me when I try . Sigh ….. Have a Fab Friday !
Such a FUN! card, Brian!
This is FAB alright! Love it!
Really really really fun! Five intense colors wow! Love the fringed circled sentiment with such a wild color pallet this feature makes so much sense! Hip Hip~Hooray!
Love the burst of color of the fringed circle behind the sentiment. I looked closer at it and it’s cut with constant precision, wonderfully done!!! This card would make somebody’s birthday extra special. Enjoy your weekend.
Brian!! This card is so wonderful! Love it! The fringe circle is fantastic!
Just love it. I agree that stamp is perfect with these colors and challenge. Looks super. 🙂
I predominantly “stamp” my stamps using my markers. I have a much smaller collection of the ink pads, so I get more choices with my makers. And it makes it soooo much easier to have multiple colors on the stamp.
This is a really pretty card! I love the color combination and the fringe is adorable. Hopefully I’ll get a bit of mad money soon that I can use to purchase some of the new collections- because I’m in love with this DSP!
Love it Brian !!!!
Hugs frenchie ,
Super Fun Card!!! I love it and I love the fringe! Awesomely done as always! 🙂
Love this bright and happy card. Love love the fringe around the sentiment panel, how fun. Thanks for sharing.
Super cute with 5 colors! A happy card for a very rainy So Cal day! Love the candy dots for balance, and arrow EF for texture
OMG!! I absolutely love this!! The colors just pop!! I think I might just might have to case; but as I dont have this stamp set…. just make it the same but not the same…. lol…. you know what I am trying to say!! Have a fabulous day Brian!! 🙂
This card screams celebration! I love it. The colors are so vibrant and fun. Wonderful interpretation of the challenge, as always! You are THE master of challenges! Have a fantastic weekend.
A very fun and flirty card! I have kicked my behind so many times for not ordering the fringe scissors when I could preorder. Mine have been ordered for some time but now I have to wait until the end of March. Oh Bother. I just love everything about todays card!
I feel extra special having been the recipient if this gorgeous card. I love the layout, the texture, the colors and the fringe! Thank you Brian. You made my day!
The fringe around your circle panel is so cool….I never would have thought of doing that! TFS!
Love this happy card; the fringe is brilliant!
