Spring is here - hopefully weather wise as well - and it's time for a lovely new Fusion Card Challenge.
I was inspired by the blues and the sketch this week.
First I did a watercolor wash over the watercolor paper panel. I die cut the oval out of matboard, inking it by rubbing my Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink pad over it. Then I flicked water onto it and dried it with my heat tool. I die cut the butterflies also out of mat board and used Tim Holtz' Eroded Metallic Technique on them shown on this post.
So show us what inspires you with this weeks Fusion Challenge! Link your cards up here.
You will find all of the Design Team cards there too - they are also linked below.
