Fusion Card Challenge - 'Mermaid'



Thanks for joining us for the latest Fusion Card Challenge, 'Mermaid''. The amazing inspiration photo is a wonderful starting point. But that sketch is pretty great too! So, which will you try?
Both the beautiful sketch and the lovely photo inspired this sparkle-y little mermaid birthday greeting. Lots of white space, some ombre aquas, a crisp sentiment and a tiny little cupcake finish off this CAS card. 
The DT has provided some a-mazing inspiration, so be sure to hop on over and join the party! When playing along you may use the sketch OR the photo as you jumping off point. OR, if you are feeling super duper clever, you can fuse 'em together.








We hope that you'll join in at the Fusion Card Challenge and will enjoy all of the loveliness from the DT and the always amazing gallery!


PROCEDURES:

1. Play with just the sketch challenge.
2. Play with just the inspiration photo challenge.
3. Or you can create FUSION by combining BOTH challenges into one card.
4. Use the challenge graphic and link back to Fusion in your post.

Papertrey Ink's Throwback Thursday - Happy Hydrangea

            THROWBACK THURSDAY - happy hydrangea

Oh happy day.......it's time for the latest 'Throwback Thursday' feature over on the Papertrey Ink Blog! 
Today I'm stepping away from the Halloween/Holiday 2019 stamps and dies and concentrating on a plethora of pretty blooms, which have been crafted using Papertrey Ink's Happy Hydrangea Bundle (a $34 value for just $10!) and the Happy Spots patterned paper pack (36- 8x8 sheets/$2). Don't you just love it when you can create some lovely, handmade cards inexpensively? I certainly do! Not only do a have a little set to give, but also coordinating envelopes AND plenty of leftover paper for additional projects!
