Here's the inspiration at a favorite challenge blog right now...FUSION...
...and here's my FUSED creation...
I used my Cricut {some} for the cups, although I wasn't totally happy with the originals and did a little hand cutting to get them to my liking. And there are a couple of my favorite feathered friends from PTI's Merry Little Christmas.
Gotta link it NOW!!! Love you FUSION!!!
ETA: Lyndal notified me of the Little Red Wagon challenge of using a doily in your creation, so I'm linking up there, also! You guys are probably sick of my doilies but, thanks, Carolyn, for the challenge!

Wow! You must be exhausted...a 10 minute craft dash and a last minute dash to the finish line!!!
ReplyDeleteWorth the fretting and the sweating because both of the cards are spectacular. I love the wee bird perched at the 'edge' of the cup and on the 'clothes line'! Your creativy blows me away every time I visit!
The colors on the baby card are divine! Spectacular detailing - the stitching, the doily, the sweet sentiment tucked perfectly below the twine...truly a visual feast of delight!
Oh good grief Geri this is too stinkin cute!!! Looks like you made another crafty dash today ;) Love it girl ;)
ReplyDeleteThose stacked cups are darling, and I adore the little birds! You have created such a sweet scene here!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you made the deadline - just LOVE your card & the pretty little scene you created!
ReplyDeleteWow, talk about last minute! Well, I'm glad you made it. This is darling.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Geri. ;-) Absolutely beautiful. Glad you made it in on time! Always love to see what you create. Thank you for joining our Fusion challenge again. ;-)
ReplyDeleteOh, this is fabulous, Geri! I don't have any tea cup stamps or dies, but your little patterned paper cups have me thinking that I could just cut some on my Silhouette! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteadorable!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Those birds add just the perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteHello :) Such a great card love the vintage look to it and such pretty colours.

Geesh - for a moment there (Geri's comment) I thought this was for the 10-min dash too. I wasn't gonna buy that! This is adorbs. As usual. You'll probably win again. Fair. But do me a favor and see if you can get the big whigs over there to make it a two-weeker!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'll see if I can find that email gadget for my sidebar.
Oh my goodness Geri...I love this card! It's so sweet!
ReplyDeleteYour card is just perfect in everyway. All of the little details, like the little bird looking down from the clothesline. Must learn to use that Cricut!!!! Loved your teacups!
ReplyDeleteAww Your card is so beautiful, the cups and birds are adorable, and the banner is the perfect touch. A winner for sure.
ReplyDeleteOh my WORD... I love every little thing about this! I love the doily the cups are perched on, sitting on a table, of course... the banner is ADORABLE, and the birds are such a fun, whimsical touch. Truly, I love every little thing about this!!
ReplyDeleteGeri this is just precious! I have been sick with the flu for a while and am finally hoping to get back in my craft room! This card is just so cheerful! Love the sweet tea cups!

ReplyDeleteOh Gerri. This card is SO cute. I love your fusion cards. You always make use of all that both images have to offer, even the bird on this challenge.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I have a little something I would like to send you (shortly), and I would love to know your address (where you receive small packages), if you are comfortable sending me it.
Yay! Congrats on winning! (I predicted it, LOL) You rock girl!
ReplyDeleteSuch a big CONGRATS on winning at FUSION! This card is really amazing, and such a treat to the eyes. The two birds interacting with each other really give it some energy, brilliant touch. And the colors of the tea cups stacked together are just wonderful. Thanks so much for playing!!
