We've got a great new challenge for you at Fusion this week! I was so excited when I saw the inspiration photo for this week for reasons that had nothing to do with a card! More on that later!
So, the inspiration photo was a ship-lap background, a cluster of wheels and some greenery. Well, it just so happens that I have an accent wall on my front porch that has some wheels on it very reminiscent of these wheels. (I think mine are vintage baby carriage wheels). I painted the porch last summer but recently began to think about adding some faux brick wallpaper to the accent wall. This challenge has made me think that faux ship-lap would look just as good!
But on to the card. I cut strips of white cardstock that were 1/2-inch wide and lightly sponged a pale gray on the edges before adhering them to my card base. Then I stamped a few circles and added some greenery to them to mimic the inspiration photo. I added some white "berries" using Nuvo drops. At the last minute I added a sentiment in red.
Thanks for stopping by! Come and join us at Fusion! Play with the sketch or the inspiration photo or both!
