FUSION Dragonfly

Had fun playing along with this fortnights FUSION creating these two variations on a theme. Both backgrounds were created using Lindy's Stamp Gang Magical Shaker in Afternoon Delight Denim and Time Travel Teal on watercolour paper, die cut with Lil Inkers Stitched Circles. Added Taylored Expressions' dragonfly silhouette, and finished with sentiments from Winnie+Walter and Avery Elle.

Love to see you play along with some super inspiration from our FUSION Design Team...

A Little ConFUSION...

Welcome back for another fabulous week of FUSION inspiration!  What will inspire you this week - this fabulous sketch from Jackie?  Or this fabulous inspiration photo from Lesley - with it's bright bold elements? Or a FUSION of both???

This week I was particularly inspired by the gorgeous teal background, the combination of bright bold colours, the owl theme, the wooden table and flowers.  I stamped my There She Goes owl trio onto a combination of lightly patterned papers - woodgrain for papa owl, floral for mama owl and chevrons for baby owl.  I love that these little guys look so shocked in response to the Lil Inkers sentiment LOL! I created my stripes by pop dotting the top layer of white cardstock, creating negative space for the teal background paper to peep through.  Unusually for me I actually used patterned papers from just one collection today, Echo Park Here & Now.

Why don't you stop by the FUSION Design Team blogs for even more inspiration!

CAS-ual Paper Players Skipping Stones...

This card was inspired by CAS-ual Fridays Name That Tune, The Paper Players Tickle Your Funnybone, and this gorgeous sketch from Skipping Stones Design.  I loved that the sketch offered the opportunity to create two arrows heading in opposite directions - perfect for the theme of this hilarious stamp set from Skipping Stones Design.  I chose purple for its royal connections and the frog prince is coloured using Copics Yellow Green (YG03) and Grass Green (YG17), and his crown is coloured using a Uni-ball Signo Gold pen. And of course the Name That Tune is none other than "Prince Charming", an 80s song by Adam and the Ants.
