I'm SOOOOO excited to be playing along with the inaugural FUSION Challenge, I can't wait to see what you create. As for me, I scooped up a cup of design inspiration from Jackie's Sketch Challenge, and added a liberal dash of colour and theme inspiration from Lesley's Photo Challenge, and shook them up to create this FUSION...
I LOVED the fabulous vibrant colours and flowers from Lesley's Challenge, and the strong chevron lines from Jackie's Challenge. To create my chevrons I liberally swiped some watercolour paper with Distressed Inks in Pickled Raspberry, Orange Marmalade and Squeezed Lemonade and spritzed with Glimmermist Iridescent Gold, before heat setting and die-cutting. I stamped the Paper Smooches flowers on some of the excess watercolour paper and fussy cut before pop-dotting and finishing with a sentiment from my stash and some Kaisercraft black gems.
Here is how you can play along:
1. Play with just Jackie's sketch challenge.
2. Play with just Lesley's inspiration photo challenge.
3. Or you can create FUSION by combining BOTH challenges into one card.
4. Use the challenge graphic and link back to Fusion in your post.
5. Please read the other considerations on the Experiment Page before playing along.
