Fusion Challenge January 12th

Welcome to a new year of Fusion Challenges with the brand new Design Team!   Here is  the first Fusion challenge for 2014!

 

I sometimes struggle with colors I'm told to use (!) for example in the picture above - I very rarely use orange but I have set myself the goal to really try and somehow combine both the photo and the sketch for each challenge.  SO I made it this week!  We'll see how far I can go with this!!  But - the fun of this challenge is that it's perfectly fine to do one or the other.   No guilt involved -  just self imposed!!

I found this great patterned paper in my stash that sort of matches one of the pillows in the photo.  I used a stitched mat die to mimic the tufted headboard.  I scored 3 lines across the patterned paper above the sentiment for the sketch (just barely visible in the photo!).  I used grey, orange, brown and white from the photo.

Here are links to the rest of the team -  lets go see if they did the sketch, photo or both!  And we hope you're inspired to join in as well!
