My husband and I are having a lovely, though sweltering hot, little vacation. So nice to get away and just...well, hang out at bike races, because that's what we do!
Before heading on our trip, I squeezed in a couple of cards for the oh-so-lovely photo and inviting sketch for the new FUSION Card Challenge~Hello Cards. The hello cards...swooning!
As oft is my way, I went 'out there' with my first card,using a fusion of the colours from the photo with the sketch. Pastel birthday Strike Up the Band bunnies from MFT...They make me laugh!
To reel myself in a bit, I also created a second card; again a fusion, but this time with Concord & 9th's Flourish set....
Please head over to see the brilliant, beautiful makes by my wonderful design team:

Oh those bunnies! So darn sweet, and they look fantastic in the pastels. The soft stenciled corner sets them off nicely! LOVE that flourish card!! Such pretty colors; looks like a modern bouquet!! Hope you're having an awesome time on your vacation and have found a craft store or two!! Bev
ReplyDeleteLove these two, very different, cards.
ReplyDeleteOh, c... thank you for using those bunnies! They make me smile, big time - and I've YET to ink my own up! Gorgeous cards, my friend! Enjoy every minute of your vacation with the Mister!

Oh what soft and pretty cards!
ReplyDeleteLove your flourish card so much that I checked out the stamp set and then went to pinterest to see other flourish cards. Your card is the best and there is a card that was done in white that comes in second.
ReplyDeleteTwo adorable cards, Carol! The bunnies are too cute and the flowers are so striking and elegant.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are great, but I just love the "Flourish" card. That set is on my wishlist at Simon Says Stamp. Thanks for the great inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThose bunnies are adorable and the flowery version of the sketch so pretty!
