Well hello there! Happy Thursday to you!
Today is an amazing and wonderful day because we are celebrating Fusion's 2nd Anniversary (second as of the relaunch). I can't tell you how much I love this challenge. I always have and to be on the team is pretty dreamy. I simply love the inspiration, both the sketch and photos, the team is divine and the co-creator Lesley Croghan is amazing. What more could a girl ask for?!
Not much, me thinks, but.. there is more! Today I am joined by a lovely crafty friend of mine as a guest designer for this Anniversary challenge. Joining me today is.....
Oh wait, let me share the challenge photo first (and let you sit with baited breath to find out what amazing lady I have here with me today!) GRIN!
Was that mean? Perhaps just a tiny bit of teasing. But as you are about to find, it is worth the wait. Without further ado, my guest is the most fabulous Tracey McNeely aka In My Creative Opinion.
This sweet lady is a pure delight to know. You can tell just by looking at her photo, she is kind and fun and oh so creative!
Tracey's card:
Um, wow right?! The perfect tones, the lovely design, the clean and crisp canvas.... this is the perfect way to say thank you to someone in your life, Tracey nailed it! She created a true Fusion, using the inspiration from the photo and the sketch. Please go visit this lovely lady here and tell her how fabulous this card is.
And here is my card:
I used the colors from the inspiration photo and one element of the sketch, the oval. I stamped my flowers (Stampers Anonymous/Studio 490) and then sponges in color using PTI Raspberry Fizz and SU! Baked Brown Sugar. The sentiment (Impression Obsession) is also stamped in Baked Brown Sugar. I used the negative cut from my MFT oval die with this bright yellow chevron paper. I added the accents of the MME enamel dots, some lace ribbon and some gold floss. It is very hard to see, but I draped a creative pattern with my floss.
This card is dedicated to both Tracey and Lesley for being AMAZING!
Please head on over to Fusion for more anniversary fun!
