Fusion Card Challenge - March 13th

It's Thursday once again - and time for another exciting Fusion Challenge!  I love to see how everyone is linking up every other week with their creative takes on the challenge -  I can't wait to see what you do with this!

When I started on the Design Team (just 5 short challenges ago!) I had the lofty goal of always doing the "Fusion" - combining the photo and sketch - but I'm finding that the photos often trigger something in my mind and I run with it!  Such was the workings of my brain for this challenge!

Ok - so how did I get here from there??!!  Well - here's the story.  At the same time period that I was trying to think of what to make for this challenge - I just happened to be looking through the Silhouette Store and these arrow boxes were on the front page as a new template in the store - and they were in green and yellow - and the light bulb flicked on!  Somehow, the flowers and stems in the photo became arrows in green and yellow!

And then I had lots of fun arranging them! Yes - these are actually balancing on each other!

The flower stamps are Funky Flowers from Waltzingmouse.  The Birthday sentiment is from Whole Lotta Happy from WPlus9.

Here's a view of the box open.  Each arrow measures ~7 3/4" h x 5 1/4" wide.

Here's a close up of the flower and sentiment -  AND I got to use some corduroy brads that I've had for several years that were just lounging around in my brad drawer!

How will you be inspired by this Fusion Challenge ??!!  I can't wait to see!
 I hope you'll check out the rest of the Design Team to see how they approached the challenge this week!
