We've got a lovely new challenge for you at Fusion. I decided to combine the sketch with the colors of the inspiration photo and make a birthday card.....with no pumpkins in sight!!
I don't have any decent pumpkin images in my stash so that got me thinking about the sketch. I thought a slimline card would look good with those long horizontal layers across the bottom. Then I stumbled on the AAA Birthday challenge, which, you might have guessed by now is to make a slimline birthday card. So I colored a bunch of gifts using the colors from the Fusion inspiration photo and arranged them on either end of the card. I didn't want to cover them up with the horizontal layer so I made that out of vellum and a slim white layer so that the gifts would still be visible.
But the pièce de résistance on this card is the sentiment. It's from a Stampin' Up! set from 2005! It's perfect here nestled between the gifts and also a perfect justification for hoarding certain craft supplies. I love it when I can do a deep dive into my crafting stash and emerge with a winner!
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you can join us at Fusion where you can follow the sketch, follow the inspiration photo or create some fusion of your own by combining the two!
