A Kept Life: Fusion Challenge

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 Kitchen. I spy window covered with a floral spray.. pumpkins on the countertop and lots of WHITE! There's a bit of baby blue in the bottom right corner, and lots of foliage. 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 started by trying to recreate the window with two Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Film Strip dies layered over a panel of soft blue cardstock. I cut the Film Strips again with the same blue cardstock so I could inlay the stitched pieces inside the window frames.

I embellished the window with foliage and florals in fall colors - different shades of yellows and oranges. Stitched pumpkins from the Fall Basket set are attached with adhesive foam tape along the bottom. A little Distress Ink on the off white pumpkin adds a little depth.

The flowers from the Spring Foliage set are just sunshine! I almost added gems to the flower centers but I think their die cut detail is just right so I left them alone.

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.

I hope I see you at Fusion Card Challenge! It's a great place to play and make new friends! I'm always inspired by the team as well as the linked up designs!
