Fusion Card Challenge - Summer

Hi there blog friends ~ It's time for a new challenge at Fusion and this time our prompt is ‘Summer’.  For my card, I chose to go with the sketch and the color palette from the inspiration photo... 


I love all the sweet treats in the photo, especially in the summertime, so I grabbed this retired SSS set, inked it up, colored each image with Copic markers, then sprayed them with clear shimmer spritz to add sparkle.  I added the (new to me) layered die-cut sentiment and rounded the lower corners of the card...and that was it!

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!

I am stepping down from the team, so this is my last card for the Fusion Challenge. I would like to say 'Thank You' to Karren and her really fabulous team for having me...It's been a real honor creating alongside such a talented group...Thank you all!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by,






Supplies:
Stamps: Simon Says Stamp - You're So Sweet; MFT - Sweet Sentiments
Dies: MFT - Simon Says Stamp - You're So Sweet; Sweet Layered Die
Misc: Copic Markers; Imagine - Sheer Shimmer Spritz; WRMK - Corner Rounder (1/4"); Altenew - Crisp Pure White EP
