FUSION challenges: always inspiring, always challenging, and always a delight as I see the 'creative genius' others share. This week's sketch+photo had me flummoxed - gnome? Owl? Vase? Camera? Flowers? Stripes and triangular banners? Where to start, never mind where to finish! As I watched pretty, unique cards appear on the site, ideas began to gel...
My card is really simple, inspired both by the FUSION #12 elements, and the card created by Kim over at Joyful Creations with Kim. Her "Absolutely, flowered dp, and three little owls with their wee bits of bling" is such a winning combination (as are all of her cards, no matter what she uses!!), so...I've 'kind of ' cased her card with some of my newer products: the PS Thanks die, Flap Happy butterfly, and Vintage Bliss paper. Nothing sparkly; only another attempt at white pigment ink. Oh, and plenty of pink. Plenty!!
Here's FUSION #12:
And my Flutter-Pink Thanks
Thanks, Kim, for the added inspiration!!
I'm delighted you dropped by! Please let me know you did; your comments are always welcome and appreciated! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Lovely, lovely, lovely!!! Such sweetness!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun and happy fusion card, Carol! Kim will be so proud and happy to have been your inspiration! (She inspires me, too!) Well done!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I voted for ya!
ReplyDeleteOooh, l-o-v-e! The soft pastels are just so pretty together! And the butterflies on the bottom of the card look like there snuggling in together, planning their next adventure! I'm heading over to vote for you - right now!!!
ReplyDeleteWait till Kim sees this! She'll love it as much as the rest of us do. Fantastic. Love all the soft, muted colors and the pink die cut 'thanks'. And you just can't go wrong with flutterbys, can you?! Very sweet. Bev

ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for your kind words. But I have to tell you that I felt flummoxed by this one too - that gnome kept distracting me!! You have done a beautiful job with the papers and with Flap Happy (I can't believe that I still don't have that set!)
