Wishing you all the best

Playing along with Fusion this week where the challenge is:

While I have no orchid stamps, I did have my latest PTI order which included

Peonies On Parade.

Trying to combine the photo with the sketch, 

first stenciled the middle with Ranger's Mermaid Lagoon & Salty Ocean.

I then stamped ferns from PTI's Birds and Blooms & Twig Wreath.

Tried to emulate the glass with PTI's Dotty Vellum,

colored (on the back) with copics

The Peony was colored with copics and my watercolor pencils, trying

desperately to capture those orchid pinks!

I did move the butterfly image up to the top.

Sentiment from Birds and Blooms (PTI)

Stampendous Fuchsia Crushed Glass Glitter

A bit of Wink of Stella.

The string of aqua sequins was in my 12 Kits package from 

Michelle Leone. Thank you Michelle!

Fusion Challenge Sunflowers & MIM #183 & Virginia's View Challenge

Fusion Challenge has this autumn inspiration:

I combined the two (photo and sketch),

for this card:

I think it was Heather Nichols that used the bleach technique for a

PTI Make It Monday.

I love doing it! Allows for coloring on a dark card stock,

such as the Enchanted Evening I used.

Colored with watercolors.

I think it's Clean and Simple, so adding to 

Virginia's View Challenge!

Fusion Card Challenge

Playing along with one of favorite weekly challenges, Fusion,

which gives us this photo/sketch:

I originally wanted to combine the two, 

but also wanted to use Betsy's Make It Market, 

full of new goodies!

Her color scheme for Country Fair has mostly 

reds, blues and yellow, so 

I went with the sketch.

A shaker card using PTI's Phrase Play #4, filled with sequins from Paper Sweeties 

and Make It Market's Watercolor set.

The patterned papers are from the County Fair collection,

as well as the die cut edging & stamps and die of the cherries. After adding the ink, I added some Glossy Accents.
