Fusion Card Challenge--Christmas Eve Ride

I'm joining the last Fusion Card Challenge of the year mainly because I "discovered"

the Neat and Tangled Cover Plate in my box of NBUS (Darnell's fun acronym for
Never Before Used Schtuff).

You can either use the sketch or the inspiration photo, and I decided to sort of

do a combination of the two.

After cutting out the entire cover plate of houses, I inked them in bright  colors

with Distress inks and decided to leave the trees white. 

I arranged the houses per the sketch, and added the trees, too. The sentiment was

white embossed and I added some snow with a white pigment pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

FUSION Card Challenge One Year Anniversary Celebration

Have you heard the news? FUSION Card Challenge is celebrating their One Year Anniversary!

Sweet and talented Kimberly Wiener invited me to be her guest and I was thrilled to accept.

If you're not familiar with FUSION, use either the photo or the sketch, 

or both, to create your card. Here's the challenge graphic:

Feeling super inspired by the photo, I created TWO cards for the challenge.

Here's my first.

I used one stamp set--WPlus9's Twenty Fifteen and created a New Year's card.
The sentiment was white embossed on watercolor paper and I dabbed several colors
of distress inks over it for the resist effect.

The small and medium sized triangle images were stamped in gold ink once,
and gold embossed a second time to resemble banners.
I finished off the card with gold spatters of ink and a few sequins.
 

For my second card, I was inspired by the chalkboard in the background.

I used the same WPlus9 stamp and created a chalkboard flag.

The banners were created with a Reverse Confetti die, cut from

watercolored paper and metallic cardstock.

Visit FUSION Card Challenge for all the details and deadline, and to see
how the rest of the design team and their guests were inspired,
and join the challenge if you can. Also, visit Kimberly's blog to see her card.
I'm sure she rocked the challenge as she always does.

Thanks, Kimberly, for the honor of guesting with you--I had a blast!

Fusion Card Challenge--Hypothesis #8

This is my entry for the latest Fusion Card Challenge and

once again I'm going with Lesley's inspiration photo.

I don't remember exactly what I did to get these results

but I did use Avery Elle's Petals & Stems Clear Photopolymer stamps

and a bunch of Distress inks.

Some flowers were inked and misted with water, some were sprayed

with a lot of water, and some were just stamped straight on watercolor paper.

My hubby's one word reaction: "Whoa!"

And I think I found the perfect sentiment to go with it.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Fusion Card Challenge #6

  

For Fusion Card Challenge #6, I chose Lesley's inspiration photo

of stacked tea and coffee cups. I stacked a dozen macarons from Avery Elle's
Bonjour Clear Photopolymer Stamps using various colors of Hero Arts' mid tone inks.

This time, I used some white enamel accents and drew in

 a bit of macaron filling. Yum!

The sentiment is also from the macaron set and lastly, I added
a little puffy white heart sticker.

Thanks, always, for stopping by!

Fusion Card Challenge #1 & CFC97

There's a new challenge blog created by Jackie Rockwell called Fusion Card Challenge.

Go here to check out the details on their inaugural challenge.

You can play with either Jackie's challenge, or Lesley's challenge.
 Or you can combine both and create a FUSION.
I "fused" both Jackie's sketch and Lesley's photo and came up with this,
using a chevron pattern from Hero Arts and blooms from Avery Elle.

I'm also linking this up to CASual Fridays latest challenge to use
both chevrons and flowers on your clean and simple project.
Yay! Love it when a card covers two challenges.

Thanks for visiting today!
