Another Year Wiser with FUSION...

Super fun with this fortnight's FUSION. Love this gorgeous FUSION inspiration photo, perfect for paper piecing with Paper Smooches cutie Hooties owl. Mixed and matched with Paper Smooches alphabet sets, Graffiti, Alphadot and Mini Monograms, with a Whimsical branch. Couldn't resist using the "Accomplished" dictionary page as a background. I keep thinking this would make a super cool card with a diagonal pocket to slip an owl bookmark into!

Can't wait to see how you are inspired by FUSION too!

Lucky Days FUSION

This fortnights FUSION challenge is filled with the luck of the Irish, so I thought I'd celebrate around the world! I thought it was super fitting too seeing as we will be heading off around the other side of the world in a few weeks, to join DD on exchange in Paris.

Created using the gorgeous (and Never Been Used Schtuff) Neat and Tangled Origami Map die cut and stamps, paired with these super cute Create a Stamp Crystal Letters alphabet stamps. Both the map and letters were stamped in white ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder, over watercolour backgrounds created using Twinkling H2Os, with added shimmer and a wooden frame, picking up on the textural elements from the inspiration photo.

A Jumbo CAS(E) of Happy Birthday...

Inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch I remembered a project I had started a while back and this gave me the shove I needed to finally get around to putting this jumbo sized card all together! 

Old dictionary paper background was turned into a sky using Mama Elephant Stitched Borders as a template, together with Distress Inks. Mama Elephant Make a Wish sentiment stamped and embossed in black, added Mama Elephant Up and Away extra sentiment, and stamped and fussy cut red watercolour balloons adding fussy cut Mama Elephant Ella and Friends elephant.
