Fusion: Birthday Card for a Dude




Welcome to another fun Fusion Challenge!

Love the color combination in the photo so much, but I didn't have that shade of aqua. The closest I had was a bluer blue, so I stamped the orange first, and then inked the blue without cleaning it. Voila, aqua!


The stripes are from the new winnie & walter Scenery: Stripes. I just put all the stripes on my stamping block and stamped once for each color. "4 you" is from MFT. "Dude" is from my favorite CAS-ual Fridays set Rad which happens to be on sale now from $15 to $10.50!!!

I tried overlapping a few elements to give that focal point intersection a little more weight. And since the card is for a boy I substituted hole-punched glitter paper for sequins. This one turned out pretty close to the photo and sketch, which doesn't always happen for me. I like it though!

Here are some fabulous cards by our design team!
