Feathery Hello

Welcome to the latest Fusion Challenge - blue decor.  I created a fusion of photo and sketch this time to came up with this card.

I was trying to mimic the retro/geometric look of the photo and also the blue shades from the photo.  I took a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock and ran over it with the second lightest colour in the Tranquility ink set by Altenew, covering the panel completely.  I then set it aside to dry while I went searching for a suitable stencil.  This one looked perfect so I stenciled over the cardstock panel with the next shade up in the Tranquility ink set.  I then die-cut it with the hemstitch rectangle dies.

On the card base, I dry-embossed with the Subtle folder (again!) and then added the stenciled panel.  Originally I thought to put a deep red flower instead of the feathers, but it didn't look right as this was turning into a more masculine card, so I dug out this feather set and used that.  I added a bit of cool gray Copic marker onto the feather before embossing the tips in gold embossing powder,.

The sentiment is stacked three high and then double-embossed with clear embossing powder.

Thanks so much for visiting.  I hope you'll check out the wonderful cards made by my team-mates over at Fusion.
