Hi Folks! I am so thrilled to be asked by the wonderfully talented Lyndal Higgins to be her guest in the Fusion Challenge's second birthday celebration. I really miss being on the team. The girls are so fun to work with, and the challenge itself is always a good one. I love the concept of being inspired by the photo, the sketch or both.
This time I couldn't help but be inspired by both.
The bold yellow chevron table runner is so eye-catching that I had to recreate it with Winnie & Walter's V for cheVron creative screening. The stencil has a lot of different chevrons nearby, so I just put painter's tape on top and bottom of the area I wanted to stencil so I didn't have to worry about sponging ink through any stray areas.
I made the center of the flower by running a stitch along the bottom of some lace trim and then gathering it all to form a circle. For the middle I layered some Pretty Pink Posh sequins and made a slip knot in the center of each with silver thread.
The sentiment is from Winnie & Walter's Winter Woodland set, and the large flower is from the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember Big Bloom set. I like paring the gold embossed flower with yellow. The format on this card is large (8 1/4 x 4 1/4) since I really wanted to feature the chunky chevrons. It fits nicely in a legal sized envelope.
A big thanks to Lyndal for inviting me to play along! I can't wait to see what deliciousness she's created, along with the other girls. If you'd like to participate in the Fusion Challenge, it's open all month so you have plenty of time to get on over there!
Thanks for looking!
