Fusion - Spring Wreath

Fusion has such a lovely wreath in their inspiration photo that I had to do a literal translation. 

No fusion this time.

I used a PTI Scribble for the wreath and placed it on some scored Dove Gray paper.  Then I stamped a number of the different flowers and leaves from the Altenew Vintage Flowers set and arranged them on top.  It looked like it would be a good anniversary card so I used the MSE sentiment in dark brown on strip of gray. 

Thanks for dropping by.  I love it when you do.

The Challenge #58

I'm not sure what you'd call this card besides and entry into The Challenge. It started out as a woodgrain experiment from Karen's tutorial at Snippets on how to make your own, with the colors of the challenge photo in mind.  I like how it turned out for the card but it doesn't look much like woodgrain.

I added some platinum paper embossed with the Diamond Plate as a frame and also embossed the PB sentiment in platinum and colored the dots in it to match.  This card is going to my husband's grandson Ryan and coincidentally it's the same colors as the quilt I made him for graduation 3 years ago.

He told me he wanted blue, orange and black and fortunately I found some fabric that spoke to his love of golf, dirt biking and tennis shoes.  I forgot to take a picture of the quilt before I gave it to him so this is the only one I have.

These are also the colors in the photo inspiration.

I hope you've had a productive week.  I have so many things to do I actually had to make a list so I don't forget anything.  Thanks for taking the time to drop in for a visit.

MUSE #142

This week at MUSE, Anita Bowden has this card for our inspiration.

From her lovely creation, I took the line drawn flowers in the panel, the scoring around it and the tag.

The holly leaves are from The Ton, part of the Stamp of Approval box from Catherine Pooler.  The tag is a stitched rectangle from LF stamped with a sentiment from HA.  I stamped the holly berries but when I put Pico Embellisher on them they ran together. :(  I solved the problem by dotting on some red Stickles.

I have six cards in various stages of completion.  With the winter storm advisory in effect, I think I'll be spending my day in the craft room finishing them up.  If you live in the storm area, stay safe.
