Freshly Minted FUSION...

This fortnight's FUSION is full of lovely layered mint. I couldn't resist using these fabulously minty cloud layers as a background, turning the sketch up-side-down, to add these super cute stickers from Echo Park and a border of inky Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide, and voila. 

Remember you can be inspired by just the sketch, just the inspiration photo, or a FUSION of the two as I have - and with such gorgeous inspiration, who wouldn't be?!?

The Joy of FUSION...

So this fortnights FUSION card took a whole different direction from where it started (exit stage right lol!) I tipped the fabulous FUSION sketch on its side, created the super cute fishtail flag using MME On The Bright Side paper die cut with Paper Smooches fishtail flag die, the rectangle became my Winnie & Walter Joy diecut and the circle is this gorgeous Uniquely Creative Whimsy Bunnies stamps, paper pieced in Echo Park Sweet Day papers. Admittedly I did add my own bunny smile and balloon string to the stamps, before adding this gorgeous sentiment, also from Uniquely Creative Whimsy Bunnies, and inked the edges in Distress Oxide Evergreen Bough.

Floral FUSION Cupcakes...

I've gone for a more vintage vibe for the fabulous FUSION challenge this fortnight. Inspired by both the super versatile FUSION sketch and super cute cupcakes, this birthday card was created using Distress Ink Ground Espresso to stamp Avery Elle Cupcakes stamp, paired with the Avery Elle Cupcakes die cuts and sentiment, added Distress Ink Spun Sugar to stamp Your Next Stamp Mini Flower Splatter and added a sprinkling of buttons from my stash and distressed the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide.

To play along you can take inspiration from either the FUSION sketch or inspiration photo - or combine the two as I have!

Coral Flower FUSION

Feeling a little under the weather this week?  Hope the FUSION inspiration is enough to put a spring back in your step!

Inspired by the fabulous FUSION sketch and photo, I die cut these gorgeous stitched blooms from MFT and coloured them using Distressed Oxides in Abandoned Coral, Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint and Antique Linen. Added an MFT Dienamics Scalloped Edge and Mama Elephant Flag die cut, stamped with MFT Anything But Basic Birthday Wishes sentiment, and popped on a couple of pearl accents for flower centres, (perfect for playing along with Double D's Bling it Up challenge too!)

Happy Little Stampers Starry Christmas...

Having fun with a friends Concord & 9th diecut Christmas letters. Substituted the "L" with that from Altenew Upper Case Alphabet as "NOEL" was too wide to diecut and fit on standard 6 inch patterned paper pad. Cut a second wreath from white cardstock, coloured with Juniper Distressed Oxide, replaced back into the "o" and used this as my front panel for a shaker card filled with Studio Calico wooden stars instead of the usual sequins. Created to join in the fun at Happy Little Stampers Christmas May Challenge with optional stars.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow...

Had so much fun creating this card, using Heidi Swapp butterfly mask on Tim Holtz tissue paper, overlaid with Distress Oxides in a rainbow of colour. Freehand outlined around the butterflies after the mask was removed and added this gorgeous rub on from my stash.

Joined in a little late for FUSION, but this is where I had my inspiration.
