Fusion Card Challenge - Summer Hello

Hi friends! I hope you're having a great day! A new challenge begins today at Fusion Card Challenge! It's a great place to play and you'll love this challenge because there are three ways to play.. you can play along with the sketch, be inspired by the photo, or FUSE them together and play with BOTH!

I'm typically drawn to the inspiration photo.. this time I spy a beautiful floral. This time there are four ways to play that I hope inspire you! .
1. The floral inspiration photo
2. A color challenge using patriotic shades of red white and blue perfect for summer!
3. The sketch
4 Fuse them all together
It's your choice, but I sure hope that you choose to play! .

I'm focused on the beautiful floral photo and the color swatches. I instantly reached for the Birch Press Design Winsome Rose. It's a beauty in layers of shades of red. I cut the leaves from shades of blue.

I layered the image over a Pinpoint Radial Plate cover plate die that has concentric circles. I didn't want things to get too "busy" so a solid background is best. I applied Tumbled Glass Distress Ink in the center of the panel blending outwards and then splashed the panel with Blueprint Sketch and Salty Ocean ink.

Berries are tucked in behind the floral and a few red Tiny Tuft flowers add a bit more red to the design. A simple Handwritten Hello cut from gold foil is the finishing touch.

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see how you interpret the inspiration photo OR the sketch. Maybe you need a little more inspiration? Check out designs from the rest of the team. Just click on their names below to jump to their blogs.
