Fusion: Faux Brush Script Birthday Card

please click here or scroll down for today's Winnie & Walter post.


Hi Folks! Lots of great black, white and yellow entries for the last challenge, did you see the gallery? It looks awesome! Going out on a limb here, and thinking this challenge will bring a lot of crisp, black/white/red cards. I sure went that route, and picked up the red with white polka dots, the black text, and the music notes. From the sketch I grabbed the circle with the horizontal band going through it.

I used a watercolor technique that I saw on Joni's blog, where you ink your stamp and then dab it with a watercolor brush before stamping. I really like how it mimics the brush script look we are seeing everywhere, especially Kal Barteski's designs for AC Amy Tangerine's Plus One line.


Hope to see you in the gallery!

Here are some fabulous cards by our design team!


WinnersWill be chosen by all of our teammates in two weeks. We each will choose one favorite. The winners will be announced at 4 am (PST) in two weeks!


Thanks for looking!
