Fusion Card Challenge - Pinwheels

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.. the inspiration photo this time is called Pinwheels. I spy gold, grey and navy pinwheels that reminded me of foldable fans.. If you're not loving the photo, don't forget.. there are other ways to play along!

1. The inspiration photo
2. The sketch
3. Color challenge
4. Fuse them all together (you clever one!)

It's your choice, but I sure hope that you choose to play!

I couldn't get foldable fans out of my head so I took it that direction... I cut the Tutti Designs Fan Background die twice. My cut machine is getting older so the technique was easy.. one die cut all the way through and one still together in one piece. If you have a newer machine you can keep all the pieces together by adding packing tape to the back of your cardstock before you cut your die.

I colored the panel that is held together with Copic markers in shades of blue, yellow and grey. You don't have to be too careful coloring because you're going to cover your work with the clean cut die. I wanted lots of sparkle so I spread some Glitz glitter gel over the colored panel before I added the clean cut die.

A sparkly Big Hello Sugar Script is cut from navy glitter paper and a hot foil "sending hugs" sentiment from Poppystamps Modest Greetings is added just underneath.

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.
