Fusion #6

A quick posting for the wonderful Fusion Card Challenge. Last week was super busy so I didn't have time to post the cards that I created.....hopefully they will qualify a future challenge somewhere, sometime, some how.....sounds like the words from a West Side Story song!

Stamps from Island Paperie, HA and Flourishes. Distresses inks were used to stamp the plumeria flowers by stamping off on paper once. The die cuts are from MFT and SB.

This is the sketch/color combo that was used to create my card.

Hawaiian Floral Sketch

No vacation would be complete with out bringing back souvenirs and if you are a paper crafter, the best souvenirs are stamps, embellishments and papers. I brought back some beautiful stamps, papers and embellishments from Island Paperie, located on Maui.

Three different stamp sets were used on this card (Lots of Aloha, Nesting Retro Plumerias, and Tropical Flowers A). The vertical strip of paper was created by stamping the solid Plumeria stamp and the outline stamp. Both images were stamped with Distress Inks (stamped off once for a softer effect). The Bird of Paradise flower was colored with the same distress inks and highlighted with Copic markers.

This is the wonderful Paper Players  sketch that was used to design this card.

Spring Break Destination

The new challenge at Our Creative Corner is make a paper crafted item depicting our Spring Break Destination or as in my case...... a 'wishing' I was there' destination.  Come travel with me to paradise and enjoy the moon glow on the beautiful blue water. Are you ready....off we go!

The stamps on the main image are all from Stampscapes and were stamped on glossy cardstock. This image was colored with various Marvy dye inks that were applied with Cut 'n Dry.  The 'Aloha' stamp and the hibiscus stamp (on the background) are from 'Island Paperie', a scrapbooking store on Maui. These stamps were actually 'made in Hawaii' so these qualified as souvenirs from a recent trip to this beautiful destination.  The glass with a 'Blue Hawaiian' drink and the hibiscus in the top right corner are from Recollections.

Wishing I was there.

A warm welcome to Beckie and Mary, my newest followers.
