For this week's Fusion Challenge I managed to incorporate both the photo and the sketch. What a great photo, too, so many possibilities in that one!
A little cheeky, so definitely for one of my closer friends! The DPs are a recent purchase from the Scrapbook Expo that I got to hang out at with my crafting partner-in-crime (she even lives behind me, how dangerous is that?!?)
We took a SEI class, and bought lots of discounted paper!!
Another recent purchase has been the Reeves Water Soluble Wax Pastels. Does anyone use these? I wanted to by some Inktense blocks, but after standing in the aisle looking at its $39.99 price tag, and the $13.99 price tag for the wax pastels, I got the cheaper ones instead.
They seem to work pretty well so far. Great coverage and really intense colors. I have to think there's a reason they are so much cheaper though.
Anyway, please stop by the rest of the fabulous Fusion Challenge designers, and hope to see you in the gallery! Remember, it's still a 2 week challenge, so you have plenty of time to cook up something fun!
Thanks for looking!

The color is very intense. I haven't heard of those, but they definitely sound more affordable, fun card, love the slightly snarky sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of those, but they sure look great in your picture! Love your card - I have that bird stamp set too - its one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI have that bird - he's fabulous - the look on his face is just perfect for that sentiment!
ReplyDeleteNow you knew I was gonna LOVE this card, Kelly! The popped red bird and gorgeous background totally contradict the cheeky sediment. Love it!! (I don't have any of the wax colors; you'll have to keep us posted as you continue to use the cheaper ones - thank you in advance!!) Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI like the grumpy little bird Kelly!! Great card today ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Love the effects of the wax pastels. The 12 pack of Inktense pencils at Michaels in Canada is $54.99--ouch! Just looking at them this afternoon, something else I probably don't need?
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you to have a partner in crime living just the next door :) Crafting becomes more fun when you have a partner with similar interests. Your card as always is brilliant, I love the color combination and the sentiment is so much fun :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Kelly! I would have loved to meet you at the Scrapbook Expo, I was there too, the St Charles one right?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteLove this card, and I have never seen those crayons. Must go to craft show! How awesome to have a partner in crime right behind you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat card! Love this! I agree so many choices for this one. The wax pastels are new to me ,but if that is what you colored the bird with I love the look.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a stamping friend live next door. TFS ...this sweet picture, you both look like you are too kids in a candy store.
Tee hee, tee hee, Kelly ... such a fun card ... great sentiment!! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteDarling card, Kelly! I love how you combine the challenge photo and sketch! That sentiment is also funny! So great to see you having fun with a crafting friend!
ReplyDeleteLove your take on the inspiration photo! Gorgeous! And...it's even better when our crafty friends live behind us!
ReplyDeleteI love how you were inspired by both the photo and the sketch! That sentiment cracks me up. The color is wonderfully fabulous...I'll have to check those out! Scrapbook Expo, how FUN!
ReplyDeleteOh Kelly, you know I always love it when you include more personal pictures and little tidbits about your life ;-)
ReplyDeleteThank You!! It's a fab' card and would make the recipient laugh for sure!
Love the bright red bird - great take on the flair in the photo! I haven't used those crayons, but curious if they blend well. Wax & water aren't usually a mix?!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have a crafting buddy so close! Your card cracks me up especially the look on that bird's face. You'll have to show more projects using your new find...the color looks fab!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the colour of your old bird Kelly LOL!!! FABulous card & looks like you had a fab time with your crafter in crime :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a sense of humor. This card will bring a smile to someone's face. I envy you a nearby crafting buddy.
ReplyDeletethis is amazing, Kelli! adore that cardinal flair!
ReplyDeleteI assumed that flair was purchased that way! Very cool! I love your card!
ReplyDeleteAwesome card! I love that cardinal and his smirky face:) I am sure your friend loved it!
