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.

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!

Fusion Card Challenge

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!

I'm always drawn to the inspiration photo. This one is called Kitty Butterfly! I spy a cute long hair kitty with a butterfly on it's nose. I spy shades of orange and blue too. You can interpret the photo as you like.. perhaps your favorite cat stamp? how about some butterflies? Maybe you want to work with the colors in he design. And maybe you're not inspired by what you see in the photo.. that's ok!!! You're welcome to play along with the sketch. If you're feeling really clever you can FUSE them together.

I purchased this Tutti Designs Stained Glass Cat a while back and was thankful for an excuse to play with it. I die cut the outline from white card stock and then adhered it to a panel that I applied double sided tape to. Next I cut the die with scraps and inlayed all the pieces on the panel.

The cat panel is 3 x 4.25" ... a bit smaller than my A2 size card so I decided to adhere it to a background panel. The clean lines of the Oriental Screen coordinate nicely with the cat.

I applied foam adhesive tape to the panel with the cat so it sits higher than the background panel.

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!

Finished Size 4.25 x 5.5"

I'm so excited! It's finally here! It's post day for The 12 Kits of Occasions! It was my turn to host and I chose an Asian theme of Good Fortune!

I tried to include a little bit of something to appeal to everyone in the group. Here's a peek at the kit I put together.

I always worry about what I send the group.. do these things all go together? Will they have fun making? I guess I had to prove to myself that it was all good so I tried to make with as much as I could so I made 8 cards!

I also invited four special guest to play along because crafty friends are the best! Please welcome...
