Fusion Challenge - April 9th - Elegance

Wow - this Fusion Challenge just jumped right up on me -  I was thinking there was one more week for the last challenge -  time sure flies!!  May I present this fortnight's lovely new challenge to you?!
This week, I was inspired by the red, blue and silver colors, the vase, the scalloped dish and the red note on the blue bag!
I layered a piece of Correspondence DP over a Brushed Silver panel.  Then die cut the scalloped 'tray' from Reverse Confetti and adhered it to the panels.
I used a Tim Holtz Movers and Shapers die to cut my trophy and ribbon, layering Foil Tape over Grungeboard  and then die cutting them to give them both some solidity!  I colored the prize ribbon with Watermelon Alcohol Ink and added some Remnant Rubs/Life Quotes to the center.
The sentiment is a sticker from Small Talk/Idea-ology.  At the end,  I wanted to tone down the shine a bit, so I sprayed the whole thing with a couple of shots of Dylusions White Linen Spray -  that's always so tricky to do - it's so easy to ruin a project with too much spray!!

We hope you will join us in this new Fusion Challenge -  I can't wait to see what inspired you from the photo and/or skecth!

You'll find all the details and some wonderful inspiration from the rest of the Design Team over at the Fusion Challenge Blog

  9. Love this card, Julia! It's so uplifting and fun :) I know what you mean with the White Linen ink spray--But I've got a saying...When in doubt, leave it out! Got that from my days in radio broadcasting and I can apply successfully in crafting, too :) But, sometimes, I don't listen!! LOL :) :) Good luck at the Fusion Challenge! XOXO-Shari
