Hello

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

I went with the sketch on this Fusion challenge. I stamped a few background stamps randomly in versafine and heat embossed them in white. The plaid is from The Ton and the script is from Darkroom Door. To create the color wash, I used tumbled glass, speckled egg and antique linen and did a bit of smooching and layering until I was happy with the results.  The plaid embossing folder from Spellbinders was used on the tag. The hello die is three layers thick so that it stands out a bit. 

Please check out the Design Team’s creations for this challenge, once again, they have knocked it out of the park.

Feel better

Happy Tuesday and welcome to another sketch from Try Stamping on Tuesday.

I used the eucalyptus die's from Simon Says Stamp to cut out a piece of fun foam - which in turn became my home made stamp for this card.  Stayed with the green color theme using dark green cardstock for the base and the rectangle panel in the back. The polka dot paper has been in my stash for a long time and I believe it might be from Memory Box.  Used a stylus and Farika Decoru drops to create the dots that are scattered about. 

I like how this came out, it could be used for either sex, which is always a good thing to have at the ready.   Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Another 2fer on leaves

Hello. At heart, I really love leaves during any season. They can be left alone or paired with a flower and bottom line, they just work.  So, with that in mind, I decided to play again in the Twofer leaves challenge.

Leaf stamps and the thank you sentiment are from Concord & 9th. I used different colored inks from Rubbernecker's Fuse ink line to stamp them in.  Get well sentiment on the first card is from Frantic stamper.  

Ribbon from PTI and dug out some big eyelets from We R memory keepers and used them on the get well card along with some twine. Burlap is from DCWV, green gingham paper is from A Muse Studio.

Thanks for stopping by - have a wonderful day!

Thinking of you

Hello and Welcome to another Fusion Card Challenge, where you can use the sketch or the photo or both. Here is what I did with it.

Poppy stamp is from Stampin Up! I used Hero Arts royal red mini ink pad to color the flower, and a marker to do the stem. Sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink, which is heat embossed in white.  I was inspired by the color of the watering can to use the gray as the card base. The rounded squares are a die from Simon Says Stamp - which I also used to emboss the lighter gray layer of cardstock.
