Hello again, my friends! Glad you stopped by - and hope you'll join us at The Flower Challenge this month as we find creative ways to add spots, or stripes to our floral designs!
I may have been the luckiest crafter in the world for this challenge - see if you agree... here's a closeup to help...
Stripes, and spots!
Altenew's Beautiful Heart is a layered stamp set - I've used the outline,
and just two of their 'stripe-y' layers to add color! See how sneaky I am?
Our Guest Designer this month is the fabulous Enna from Ritzybaubles.com do check out her blog/Instagram if you have a minute as she makes such fabulous cards.
Which will you choose? Spots or Stripes? Either way, don't forget to add a flower! Let's go see what my teammates have chosen, shall we... The Flower Challenge crew always inspires me!

This is SOOOOO pretty Michele, and I'm loving the flower stripes and your embossed dotty background too! The black and gold embossed sentiment really pop on this lovely and elegant card...well done my friend!! Hugs and Happy 4th to you!! :0)
Sneaky? Or is the correct word, BRILLIANT? Seems you got it all on this beauty of a card. Love that flower with the missing layers. So clean and simple yet clearly a lovely bloom. Juxtaposed against the spotted embossing it hits all the criteria. Gorgeous.
So pretty love the white embossed big dots.
Yes you are so creative and clever again Michele x. Great dots and stripes and the most beautiful flower card x.
Beautiful card Michele! I love your large dotty background and your big beautiful bloom. The black and gold sentiment banner adds lots of contrast. xx
I've been playing with some flowers too today... though no cards made yet and it's 5pm.... Love how you have used the dots, mostly I've seen the stripes being used for this challenge!
Such a lovely card, Michele. That flower is a showstopper and the embossed background sure helps it shine. Love the elegant sentiment, too. Great work! :)
so beautiful mf....well done

Lots of spots and stripes and still CAS! A gorgeous flower, my friend! PS-your posts are still coming in my inbox.
Michele, what a clever idea to use a spot embossing folder, it looks fabulous as a background for your bold and beautiful flower.
The sentiment is so amazing, could you please tell me where is it from?
And you are not sneaky, LOL!! you are CLEVER!!!!!
Awesome card, teammate.
Stay healthy and safe.

Just loverly!!! Big spots and a big flower....always a big hit!
I've always considered myself the Queen of Loopholes but you may have just bested me. :-) LOVE!
You are sneaky and very clever Michele! I love your card, the spotted embossed background is fabulous. Love that flower and how you used only part of the layers, it is gorgeous! The sentiment describes you to a tee! As you do have the most beautiful heart. Hugs, Brenda
I'm not sure which to look at first -- the fabulous flower and rich color or your delectable large spots!
It is so clever how you can always come up with a unique answer to the challenge. You have yet another amazing embossed background and such a clever way to include stripes on your flowers. Your finished card is just perfect xx
You know that you rock, right? I tell you that all the time. I LOVE the embossed background and that flower is one of my favorites. LOVELY design!
You know I have a polka dot addiction, but girl, the stripey flower is pretty fabulous!
I love the mix you created of the "stripe-y" flower and the dots in the background. It's a very eye-catching look - and wonderful with the sentiment!
This is so gorgeous, Michele.... so I need the embossed background. You managed spots and stripes I'd say. Where did the background of this fabulous card come from???
One of the few Altenew stamps I don't have, Michele. It's bold and beautiful in all its stripey glory.
What a beautiful card. I love it. Great job. Well done. Hope your day is full of joy, love and hope.
