A FUSION Full of Hope..

I had so many fabulous ideas looking at this fortnight's FUSION inspiration photo and sketch, but in the end I decided to go CAS and focus on the colours, the textures, the stars, the swirls and the weathered wood of the inspiration photo. 

I die cut this gorgeous star from MFT using Kaisercraft paper, and placed it on my mini scoreboard, with the patterned side down, then scored from the point of each star tip to its diagonal opposite. Once I had done this, I folded along each scoreline, then inverted the folds in between the points of the star, to create this 3D star. The stamps are both from Autumn Leaves, a company sadly no longer with us. Both stamped in Versamark Watercolour then heat embossed in Zing White. To add some more definition to the letters, I created shadow lines with a fine dark brown pen. The star was secured using liquid adhesive, and running my nail around the outer edges of the star to secure it to the card front. Finally the front panel was added to a kraft cardstock base.

 

Will you be inspired by the gorgeous distressed wood patina, the door, the colours, the swirls, the stars, or the textures in this fabulous inspiration photo, or this super versatile sketch, or both!
