Welcome to a very special 1st Birthday Celebration at FUSION! I do hope you can squeeze in a little New Year crafting time to play along with our special Birthday Celebration as it's a fabulous one!
This fortnight I was inspired by the ombre, colour combination and gold frame from the inspiration photo. Creating the background watercolour wash from on a Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangle of watercolour paper, with Watermelon and Guava Gelatos and heat set before stamping with this super cute Mama Elephant sentiment (I love how this sentiment has the same squiggly loops as the "you" in the inspiration photo!) in Hero Arts gold ink, then sprinkling with Making Memories gold glitter. Added a few Verve pale pink sequins, before using foam tape to adhere to American Crafts Gold Glitter background.
As a special Birthday treat we each invited a special guest who inspires us to play along - so you get TWICE the FUSION inspiration! I chose the gorgeous Anika Lerche (Anni) as my special guest. I first 'met' Anni when I had just started card crafting, and this year was fortunate enough to be on the KIS Design Team with her. I have always loved her CAS with a twist creations, her fabulous style and faultless execution gets me every time! I'd love it if you could pop on by Anni's blog and say hello - you won't be disappointed!
