'Tis the season

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.

Sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp. I used a circle die for the snowman head, added two buttons for the eyes, and cut a carrot for his nose.  I dusted on some white pigment ink to mimic a chalkboard as a final touch to this card.

Fusion Card Challenge

Sadly, this will be the last Fusion Card Challenge. The number of folks actually playing has dwindled down quite a bit and it just makes sense to end on a high note. Thank to all those who continued to play each month. See you out in blogland and on Instagram.

Pastel birthday

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 was inspired by the photo colors and shapes. I used a piece of acetate to cut out a few circles and then used that as a stencil to blend on the pastel inks.  Added the happy birthday die (stacked 3x's) to the middle and called it good. The outside border stitched dot die is from Jillian Vance Designs.  Reflection dew drops are from Honey Bee.
