~Soft and Pretty for Fusion~

Tuesday, July 16, 2013

Well, I know it's a bit unusual for me...but I'm here on a TUESDAY!!!  What is this world coming to?!?  I've been getting in a lot of crafting, but have several things unfinished.  But today I wanted to post a few that ARE finished and I wanted to NOT be the last one to link up to the current Fusion challenge...

(I found lots to like there!  How about you?)  And if you're wondering...'why is she not huffing and puffing to meet the Fusion deadline...as she always is???'...it's because the current challenge lasts an entire MONTH! So I've created not one...but TWO cards, thank you very much!

The first is a birthday card for a friend of my daughter using my new WPlus9 stamps...the lovely Folk Art Florals...



And, by the way, you can see I've gone with the sketch this time.  Jilli picked out some make-up for her friend, so I made a little paper basket for it with a super fast homemade template...


(Hmmm...maybe it was too fast...I can see it's a tiny bit crooked!;)  That pretty lace is from Craftpon, an Etsy shop...I love it!  (They have a ton of buttons and other supplies, too!)  Then, I was inspired to try another card from the sketch...


Lots of white on that one, huh?  And one more soft and pretty floral creation using a little more lace from Craftpon...


I whipped up a little burlap gift bag to embellish.  I used my PTI beautiful blooms and some felt and fabric for the flowers...


This lace is wider...about 2"...so the bag may be bigger than you would expect...maybe about 7" wide.

OK...I'm off!!!  Delighted to have some time to create for fun and for Fusion again after a couple busy weeks!  Thanks so much for stopping by!
