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!




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!
