FUSION - Penguin Love

So I have to admit, I have more Valentine's cards in my stash than fish in the sea - but hey, I only ever use one a year! Regardless, I could not resist making this little cutie for the FUSION challenge this fortnight. Inspired by the fabulous sketch and super cute inspiration photo, this was created using a selection of patterned papers from American Crafts Amy Tangerine Sketchbook and Yes, Please ranges, die cut using Verve Hearts and Stitched Pennants, together with the super gorgeous Mama Elephant Love Quotes and cute chicks I re-purposed as penguins.

A Little FUSION Christmas...

Heard someone mention they couldn't believe how one year can manage to stretch out endlessly and fly by in a blink at the same time. Definitely feeling it with the festive season almost on us this year! 

Perfect timing for Christmas card inspiration with a fabulous neutral colour palette plus a pop of red in this fortnights FUSION. Inspired by the knotted textures, gorgeous bow and seasonal theme, together with another super cute and versatile sketch this fortnight. Playing with my Tara Wakefield stamps and Studio Calico papers, paired with My Favorite Things Christmas sentiment.

Mojo Merry Christmas...

In an attempt to beat the mojo blues, this was the first card I created on my crafty Sunday. I revisited a couple of pieces from my stash which I had created when I went crafting for the weekend about a year ago. This gorgeous vintage Santa stamp had been embossed with Red Tinsel, and the Christmas Carol stamped in Brushed Corduroy Distressed Ink. I paired these with some gorgeous self-patterned velvet ribbon and some tiny pearl beads, then added this gorgeous Winnie and Walter "Merry" die cut and "Christmas" sentiment stamped in Momento Luxe Olive Grove Ink - a perfect match to the Basic Grey paper, inked the edges with more Brushed Corduroy Distressed Ink and voila - the mojo is back :)

A Golden Sunny FUSION...

I thought I'd run with the sunflower theme after seeing this fabulous FUSION inspiration photo, and created my stamped sunflower using My Favourite Things stamps and WOW Gold Pearl embossing powder, paired with Happy Birthday from Winnie and Walter, also in Gold Pearl, and a piece of gold vellum, just in case anyone thought it wasn't golden enough LOL!
