Here'es the inspiration.. this one is called "Mail Call".
The first thing I always look at when playing at Fusion is the inspiration photo. This one was a little tricky for me. I gravitate to the "brights" and this one has lots of brown. I focused on the aqua color and bold words.
Not loving the photo? That's ok.. just work with the sketch!
AND.. if you're feeling clever.. FUSE them together!
I kept with the sketch and reversed the colors in the photo so there's lots of blue, and less brown. To lighten the brown border even more I added a white lacy die cut (Memory Box Silver Springs Butterfly).
The sentiment is cut several times from white and topped with a blue card stock die cut. It helps keep it from disappearing into the lighter blue underneath.
