Fusion Card Challenge - 'Peach Birthday'

It's time for another Fusion Card Challenge - 'Peach Birthday'!! This beautifully hued photo and fabulous sketch are both pretty lovely. SO.... which will you choose,  the sketch, the photo or both as your inspiration?

My project, taking cues from both the photo and the sketch, focuses on the lovely ombre rainbow. I poked through my scrap bin for little bits of pinky/peachy color and created my framed rainbow..... adding sprinkles of sparkle (to imitate the balloons), a simple (non-birthday) sentiment, a bit of texture on the mini slimline card base and a pretty paper strip to mimic the box pattern wallpaper behind the balloons. I fashioned a matching slimline envelope to complete the petite ensemble!

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.

Fusion Card Challenge - 'Nautical Bear'


It's waaaay past time for the 'Nautical Bear" Fusion Card Challenge (since it's time for a new one, starting tomorrow)!! However, I'm posting a few cards, which were finally photographed. I'm so very sorry for the delay!

My projects, taking inspiration from both the photo and the sketch, focus on the red/white/blue color combo and the nautical theme (oops... no little bear here!). I've mimicked the ombre frosting, using an array of blues, added lots of pops of red, a crisp sentiment and a bit of texture (swirly clouds peeking out) and dimension. And, YAY, a few little boy birthday cards to add to the stash!!

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.
