Fusion: Summer

Welcome to a new challenge at Fusion!

I made the watermelon pieces from 2 circle dies, and drew the seeds by hand. The sentiment is from The Ton "Easy Expressions" stamp set and matching die. I added these over a white card base with some Squeezed lemonade Distress Oxide Ink on the bottom edge.

Make sure you check out all the rest of the inspiration at the Fusion challenge blog, and play along with your own creation!

Happy rainbow

In need of a rainbow? I've got your sorted!

I made a rainbow of alcohol inks on Yupo, then added a white die cut Happy Birthday sentiment from Pretty Pink Posh.

Snowy trees for Picket Fence Studios

I have a snowy card to share today for Picket Fence Studios.

I used the new stamp set "most wonderful time of the year" and white embossed the snowy part of the tree onto vellum. I fussy cut around them, and cut one down to be shorter. I adhered these onto a panel of watercolour paper that I'd coloured with nuance waterdcolour powders. I hand cut the snowdrift on the bottom edge of the card, and stamped the sentiment from Inside Quotes Christmas. I decorated the larger tree with Gin and Tonic sequins.

Pale watercolour for Paper Rose

I have two cards to share for Paper Rose today - and they are non-identical twins!

I first created a panel of watercolour paper with a very soft ombre wash of pink and pale orange watercolour (I used Distress Inks as watercolours). I cut it with the Blooming Flowers Background die, and also cut a piece of white cardstock with the same die. I adhered the white die onto a white card front, and chose some pieces of the floral images from the watercolour panel and adhered them in place into the main panel.  I added a sentiment from Black and White Sentiments and some clear sequins.

After making the first card, I had the leftover piece of watercolour panel, so I made another card to keep my first card company!

Embossing at A Blog Named Hero

The new challenge at  A Blog Named Hero is embossing, so I have this card up at the A Blog Named Hero Facebook page.

I white embossed the floral image from the Friendship blooms stamp set onto vellum, and coloured the back of the vellum with blue and green Copic markers. I fussy cut the image, and adhered it to a panel of Yupo with blue alcohol inks. I finished with a white embossed sentiment on a scrap of blue cardstock and some little droplets from Studio Katia.
