Welcome to another fabulous Fusion challenge! Today we've gone with an elegant, soft-shaded inspiration photo and a fun sketch featuring an angled panel.
I decided it was high-time I got out my Zig markers so chose to do a bit of watercoloring of this gorgeous Mondo Hydrangea flower and leaf, which I white embossed onto Bristol Smooth cardstock. Once they was colored and die-cut, I set them aside to work on the card base. I die-cut a curve from a panel of white cardstock and also a strip of gold foil cardstock. Layering the gold behind the white, I adhered both to a white top-folding card base with foam tape. I then added the hydrangea, using foam for the top portion and liquid glue for the bottom. The sentiment was die-cut from toner paper and gold-foiled and I finished the card with a solitary falling petal beside the sentiment.
Thanks so much for visiting! I'm linking this up to the current Flower Challenge, where they are asking for heat or dry embossing, and the Anything Goes challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.
