Fusion Card Challenge - Summer Dreamin'

Hi friends! I hope you're having a great day! If you're looking for a new challenge you'll find another winner at Fusion Card Challenge . 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!

The inspiration photo this time is called "Summer Dreamin'" and I have to say that's sure what it looks like.. a good book on the beach with a straw hat and a burlap bag of all the essentials. Can't forget that lemon.. maybe it's to lighten your hair in the summer sunshine. You can spin the photo into a color theme of neutrals and yellow, or perhaps you see another element that jumps out at you.... seashells??? If you're not inspired by what you see in the photo.. then you're welcome to play along with the sketch. If you're feeling really clever you can FUSE them together.

The inspiration actually got me summer dreaming of days on the beach watching my kids build sand castles and watching the little sand pipers darting around the beach.

My cards starts with a distress ink background of surf and sand for my little bird. I topped the panel with a fancy background die cut frame from Papertrey Ink called Bold Borders Flair.

I stamped a sentiment inside the open window and then added this cute little bird. I don't do a lot of multi stamped images so while this card looks CAS it was still a little tricky for me.
  

This card is so pretty in pink! What a great way to let someone special know that they're on my mind! Now it's your turn! 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.
