Fusion Challenge - Nov 26th - Blue Christmas

Goodness, the weeks are just flying by aren't they?!  Here in the US, we are celebrating Thanksgiving today and there's a new Fusion Challenge posted - a lovely photo inspiration of a blue Christmas tree, or perhaps you'll focus on the white dog on a blue pillow -  or pretty wrapped boxes - or a white chair - OR you may just create using the lovely lacey sketch?!

As soon as I saw the tree -  I knew what stamp I wanted to use -  this lovely tree from the Scandi Doodle Christmas set by Waltzingmouse.  

I white embossed the tree on a piece of white cardstock.  Then I sponged heavily over the whole panel with Ranger Distress Mermaid Lagoon ink.  I stamped the Merry Christmas from Nutcracker Sweet set, also by Waltzingmouse - on a die cut Sentiment Strip by MFT - using the same Mermaid Lagoon Ink.  I layered the sentiment over the tree with foam dots and added 3 clear rhinestones for a little shimmer!

See all the lovely shapes drawn into this beautiful tree?  Deer, birds, hearts and flowers - SO pretty!

How will this fortnights Fusion Challenge inspire you?   I can't wait to see what you link up over at the Fusion Blog.  You  have almost two weeks to make your inspired card!

Here are the links to the talented Fusion Design Team - you'll also find all our cards over at the Fusion Blog.
