Sending Hugs


Hi there blog friends ~ It's time for a new challenge at Fusion and our prompt is ‘Nature’.  This time I used the colors from the inspiration photo and the sketch for my design... 



I thought these cute little penguins would be perfect for this sketch. The stamp set is called 'All Four Seasons', so I stamped one for each season :) It's hard to see on screen, but I colored an element on each one in lavender (the pom-pom on winter, the flower for spring, the swimmer's tube for summer and the coffee cup for autumn). The circular pattern is from a background stamp and I used distress ink to darken the thin strip under the sentiment.

Don't forget the best thing about the Fusion Card Challenge is that you can choose between the sketch and the theme/inspiration photo, or both! My teamies have created some beautiful cards to inspire you, so feel free to stop by the challenge blog and play along with us!

Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Stamps: Clearly Besotted - All Four Seasons; MFT - Greetings Galore; SSS - Round and Round Background
Dies: MFT - Wonky Stitched Circlesc
Stencils: MFT - Mini Cloud Edges

Sweet card Barb, and I like that you tied each image to the base with the lavender bit. Such a nice subtle design element.
