The Fusion Challenge this week features this sketch and photo,

Fusing the sketch and the photo with PTI's Cover Plate Harlequin Die.

Card base is Run through a Sissix folder. (Easier to see the texture in the photo above).

Other PTI dies include: Limitless Layers: Circle, Turning a New Leaf, and Life is Beautiful.

Blueberry Paper Sweeties Sequins

Sentiment from PTI's Bountiful Banners embossed on a Vellum Double Ended Banner. 

The butterfly and circle are glitter paper, the leafy die is Martha Stewart glitter on PTI card stock.

Virginia's View Challenge # 5

MIM #168 & NBUS #1

Melissa Phillips shares some technique fun using chalks, stamps and Impression plates.

I love what happens to a surface when chalk is applied to an

impressed design. 

More layering texture when stamped design enters the picture.

This is my 3rd post.

Yes I love layering,

yes I love learning from creative masters like Melissa, 

and yes, I love this particular technique!

Once again, with Betsy's impression plate,

this time with blues and greens,

and finally  

a NBUS (never before used schuftt, thank you Darnell) stamp 

from Life Is Beautiful.

Perfect Pearls were added to the butterfly die cuts.

Just haven't gotten around to using this breathtaking set until now!

Perfect timing, because it's also going in Darnell's 1st ever challenge!

Not sure who's getting a card with 'Beautiful' as a sentiment, 

so I'll add it to a growing stash of ready to send cards!
