FUSION Card Challenge - Fox in the Fall

Fall & FUSION

Friendly...fox...fun...fields.. fences.

Searching for inspiration to use some of my mass collection of Hello Bluebird stamps led me to the FUSION color palette.

Perfect for a friendly Fall card!

Inspired by the wonderful FALL colors

of the current

FUSION card challenge.

(Hello my old teamies...)

Ages ago it seems, but like yesterday I was a DTeamie on FUSION. Of course one of MY ALL TIME FAVE card challenges.

You guys ROCK!

I pulled out the Pumpkin Time Stamp for the great Fox with the wheelbarrow, and the sentiment is from the Fall Banner Buddies Set, atop the Farmland Background Stamp.

I’m pretty sure I’ve been avoiding using them as I literally took hours coloring this up!!!!

I do love how it turned out.

Lawn Fawn Sketch - You Color My World!

My second Spring card for today.

I turned the sketch to the bottom and placed the Easter images all random like the sketch.

I am ready for warmer weather.

I am actually going to California next week.

Hoping that I'll be able to walk around outside without a sweater!

I think these pastel colors are YUMMMMY!

The color of Jelly Beans

was my inspiration.

Blended or Sprayed Backgrounds

Just us Girls was sweet enough to give me a shout out last week!!!

Thanks Ladies!!!

I checked back at the current challenge, and loved the theme.

I need a few more "everyday" cards. I found I have a ton of thank you cards, and very few all around "anytime" cards.

I like to send cards all the time!

Perfect chance to use the "NEW" dies I haven't gotten around to using. The Concord & 9th Everyday Sayings dies...

They wonderfully BIG and BOLD!!

I have used the Ellen Hutson Mod Floral die quite a bit- I JUST LOVE IT... And will never tire of inking, sponging or painting it in soft watercolors.
