FUSION in Red, White & Blue...

Wow, some truly gorgeous creations in the FUSION Gallery last week!  Can't wait to see what surprises you have in store this week - will you choose to make the most of this fabulous sketch by Jackie???  Or will you be inspired by the colours, the theme, the elements from this gorgeous photo from Lesley???  Or will you choose to create a FUSION of both???

As a FUSION scientist I chose my favourite elements from both Jackie's sketch and Lesley's photo, and combined for my creation.  I loved the white text on blue background from Lesley's Challenge this week, and achieved this by stamping my Mama Elephant little boy and Verve sentiment in Versamark Watermark and heat embossing with Zing White. My clouds were created by die cutting Lil Inkers clouds from some clear plastic sheet and using the negative sheet as a mask, inked inside with Tsukineko Brilliance Platinum Planet, then heat set, as these inks tend to take a LONG time to dry.  To keep with the rainy day theme, I repeated the umbrella element in place of the flags from Jackie's Challenge.  The three Kaisercraft wood veneer umbrellas were inked in Distress Ink Festive Berries then overcoated with Dimensional Magic, to mimic wet umbrellas!

Head on over to the FUSION blog for some more FABULOUS inspiration from the Design Team!
