First FUSION Challenge...

Monday, April 8, 2013

Well, hello, my friends, on this fine Spring Monday morning! Like many of you, I've been excited about the new Fusion Challenge...

Simply irresistible challenge, right?  I was prayin' for some time to play, and YIPPEE, I'm here!! Loved both options for creating and HAD to 'fuse' the two.  First of all, those gorgeous flowers were screamin' to be made...


(...with a McGill Paper Blossom punch). And I used my MFT chevrons to anchor them...


Others goodies used were QuicKutz leaves, MME enamel dots, and a Crafts Meow sentiment.  And that's just it!  If it wasn't for the handmade flowers, this would have been one super simple and quick card to make!

Thanks for poppin' in on me today!  Congrats, Fusion gals, on your new venture...and thanks for the inspiration!!! It's been a long time since I've played along with a challenge, and this sure was a fun one!!!  Looking forward to see what's up next!

Have a great day, everyone!!!

~Geri~

  15. Geri, I come across your blog today by Pinterest. It is a beautiful card, I love love love the flowers you handmade, I am so curious I can't help to ask you what do you use for the center of the flower? what is that makes the flower so alive and so real? And what kind of paper you used? I am longing for the secret you have for these flowers.

  36. Oh My Word. This is S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G. Just pinned it. Aside from the obvious great qualities of this card that people have already mentioned, the placement of your enamel dots is spot-on. Your eye totally makes a chevron from the flowers, down to the two dots, then back up to the last one. Genius! SO happy you joined the Fusion festivities, and sure hope to see you back!
