Hi folks, welcome to another fun Fusion Challenge! I am so in love with the color palette for this challenge that I didn't even think about using the sketch this time.
I unrolled some white crepe paper and started spraying Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mists in the same order as the photo.
After making running stitches down the center, I gathered the crepe paper and adhered it to the card base. There was way too much empty white space to the left of the sentiment so I filled it with some white stars (fills it, but doesn't compete with the crepe paper).
The sentiment is a MFT Die-namics Accent It die. Vintage sequins are added to the ruffled crepe paper, and the inside is sprayed with more of the Heidi Swapp Color Shine over a Heidi Swapp stencil.
This is a belated birthday card for the best neighbor you could ever ask for! We share a deep passion for Green Day, patterned paper, and crafts; she's always got the best advice on people issues; and she is just the sweetest, most positive, understanding friend ever. So lucky to have her in my life : )
Here's a picture of us at a Glass Blowing class a couple months ago (yep, she's THAT cool!)
Here are some fabulous cards by our design team!
Winners: Will 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!
