Fusion Challenge - Seaside Treasures

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!


So I spy a vintage ball jar filled with seashells. The colors are mostly neutral with a pop of aqua blue from the glass and perhaps a bit of coral in the sea shells. You can spin the photo into a color theme of neutrals and blues, 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.
.I focused on that fabulous jar full of sea shells. It just reminds me of trips to the beach.. of picking up little treasures.. discarded shells and smooth sea glass, and bringing them home and foolishly thinking I could capture a day in jar.
I used several die cuts starting with the Knotted Diamond Background that reminds me of fish net. I adhered it to a rustic cardstock with lots of fiber imperfections. I topped the background with a die cut jar and embellished it with kelp and coral die cuts from Memory Box.
Of course I had to add some sparkle and shine - some gold sequins and aqua and white gems.
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.


I hope I see you at Fusion Card Challenge! I cant wait to see what you make!
