Fusion Card Challenge - 'Crayons'

It's time for another Fusion Card Challenge - 'Crayons'!! This beautiful, happy rainbow and fabulous sketch couldn't have come at a better time as it has been raining cats and dogs for three days (which is why only ONE photo..... thus far!). Will you choose the sketch, the photo or both as your inspiration?

My project, taking inspiration from both the photo and the sketch, focuses on the lovely hues and the stipe element. A bit of texture on the stitched tag and card background, a plethora of color, crisp sentiment and a snippet of black twine finish off this CAS thank you! (gah....looking at this photo, I wish that I'd lined up all of my colorful pencils. Perhaps I'll redo and post V2!).

The DT has created LOTS of lovelies, 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!

The Fusion Card Challenge - 'Kitty Butterfly'


Happy Thursday..... and welcome to the newest Fusion Card Challenge, 'Kitty Butterfly'The inspiration photo is quite wonderful (and LOVE our two kitties!!) - but that sketch is pretty great too. So, which will you choose as your inspiration?

My project, taking inspiration from both the photo and the sketch, focuses on the adorable feline and petite butterfly. For some reason or another, I was seeing a Canyon Clay/Cobalt color combo.....something I wouldn't normally put together. But, it's good to stretch a bit and try new things. Not quite sure how well this 'stretch' works though!! Anyway.... a smattering of patterned papers, some texture from my favorite polka dots, a trio of little butterflies finish and a coordinating lined envelope finish off this clean and simple 'thank you'. 

The DT has created lots of lovelies, 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.
