August 2021 – Page 2 – Tinstar Designs

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 blurry background in the photo and the idea of a hybrid kitty/butterfly. I used one of the Tim Holtz cats from the CMS251 set, heat embossed, watercoloured and fussy cut him out. I then gave him some die cut wings and a sentiment made on my PC. I popped him up on an ink sponged night sky background I had in my stash.

I thought the look on this cat’s face was perfect for my card idea.

Come join in the fun and make a card based on the sketch, inspiration photo or fuse them together and play with 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, 19th August at 7pm Melbourne Time or Tuesday 18th August 12pm US Pacific Time to link up your project.

Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Today I’ve been done a little bit of crafting before I start to watch the Olympics.

First up is a card for AAA birthday #27 – – Use an embossing folder.

I used the Stampin Up bark embossing folder for my background panel, along with some die cut and then watercoloured cottage flowers.

Next is a card for Just Add Ink #565.

I created a background panel on some vellum with my Stampin Blends and alcohol ink blending solution. I then added some more die cut cottage flowers this time in black.

Lastly is a card for the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers #190 – C is for colourful.

For this card I cut lots of strips of coloured cardstock and then adhered them to my card base. I added a die cut panel from Catherine Pooler Designs over the top and popped up my sentiment from Uniquely Creative.
