Fusion Card Challenge - Thank You!

Hi there blog friends ~ For about the past year, I have been fussing and fretting over the poor quality of my photos. Well, last week, my camera died! 
What??? You mean all this time the problem is my camera? But it's only 13 years old! DUH! 
Introducing my brand new Canon EOS SL3...and she's a beauty!!!

Just in time for the new challenge at Fusion and this time our prompt is ‘Thank You’.  For my card, I chose to combine the sketch with the theme from the inspiration photo... 



I thought it would be fun to use this new Fairy stamp set from MFT. I stenciled the mini clouds, then colored her with Copic markers and Prismacolor pencils. The 'Thanks' die is an old fave of mine from Paper Smooches and the stitched circle die-cut is from Lil' Inkers. A few clear sequins and this card was complete :) 

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!

Since this is a new stamp set, I would also like to enter this card to Darnell's NBUS Challenge #13 ~



Thanks so much for stopping by,

Stamps: MFT - Flower Fairies
Dies: MFT - Flower Fairies; Lil' Inkers - Stitched Scallop Circle

I must say I've never noticed ANY problem with the quality of your photos Barb but maybe you are an expert editor! Congratulations on your new camera - enjoy! The fairy is adorable with her little rosy cheeks, pointy toes and her heart shaped clip in her hair. Just lovely! Vicky x

I totally hear you about the 'photo' stress, who would've thought that cardmaking involved such things as photography too lol. Congrats on the new camera and the great photo and card (of course)!

Isn't it just the way we learn things sometimes? I'm so happy you have a new camera - I can see a difference, Barb! Now, if we just had someone to teach us all the tricks these new cameras have up their sleeves!
I love this little fairy … she is truly magical, and adorable in your hands!

Your card is so cute with that little angel.

Darnell said...

Oh, goodness, Barb, that angel is utterly adorable, colored perfectly, and I love your design! How exciting for you to get a new camera! Canon makes incredible p&s cameras, so I know you'll love it! Take care and keep safe and thank you for sharing at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
