There's a new Fusion Challenge just posted over at the Fusion Card Challenge blog! You can make it a Valentine - or not - check out the inspiration for this week!
I recently 'discovered' some lovely water color vellum hiding in my craft room and thought it would be perfect for my card. I punched 2 sizes of hearts, layering the smaller over the larger and sewing them together in a row leaving threads at the beginning and at the end.
I made 3 cards - using different patterned paper on each. I folded up the sides of the smaller hearts to give depth to the card.
I cut panels using PTI's Tipped Tops die out of both patterned paper and white card stock and layered them together for strength. I adhered the strings from the hearts on the back of the panel at top and bottom - and then layered the panel onto the cardbase with foam dots.
To finish them off - I added some white and clear sequins.
So I was inspired by the photo this week! What inspires you this fortnight - the hearts, the stars, the sketch?
