Fusion : Nature

Hello there, it’s time for another Fusion Challenge and do we have a great sketch and inspirational photo for you!

I was inspired by the colours and trees in the sketch, so I created an ink smooshed background and then stamped an Indigo Blue stamp called ‘Bare Forest 1’ over the top. The sentiment is from Stampin Up ‘Thanks for the laughs’ which is popped up with a few sequins for the finishing touch.

Come join in the fun and make a card based on the sketch, inspiration photo or both! Check out the projects that the other artists at Fusion have created, take the challenge and link your creation to the challenge post. We’d love to have you join us.  You have until Wednesday, 18th Marsh at 7pm Melbourne Time or Tuesday 17th March 12pm US Pacific Time to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Get Creative Challenges – March – Bingo Board

Well hello and welcome to today’s post. It’s time for another challenge over at Get Creative Challenges where its Anything Goes with an optional twist to choose an line on the Bingo Board!

As you can see I’ve chose the middle diagonal option for my project

Our sponsors for this challenge is Fred, She Said Designs.

I’ve been a bit cheeky with my project and have opted for a basket rather than a shaped card – creative license? I made a little basket that will hold a few small Easter eggs as gifts for my friends. I faux stitched the edges of the basket panels, embossed the basket before gluing it together. I then fussy cut some flower images from Fred, She Said Designs and added a couple of buttons to the centre of the flowers and my basket was done.

It’s a little bit hard to see the embossing in this photo but it has a basket weave look to it.

Check out the Get Creative Challenge blog for details on the sponsor prizes and links to the other fabulous projects from the DT and come join in our fun and share your anything goes project by 1pm Monday 1st April (Melbourne time) or 11pm Sunday 31st March (US Eastern Standard time)

Thanks for looking and have a great day.
