Have you heard about the new Fusion Card Challenge Blog?
Lesley Croghan and Jackie Rockwell have teamed up to bring you a new 'scientific' concept in challenge blogs called Fusion!
PROCEDURES:
1. Play with just Jackie's sketch challenge.
2. Play with just Lesley's inspiration photo challenge.
3. Or you can create FUSION by combining BOTH challenges into one card.
4. Use the challenge graphic and link back to Fusion in your post.

I am so excited that Lesley and Jackie have asked me to be the first Guest Designer at Fusion. What that means is that I will be taking on this week's photo and this week's sketch and creating FUSION!
Here is this week's Hypothesis!
and here is my card...
I had a method when I approached the challenge. I am a CAS card designer, so I knew that I needed to keep my card true to me. I decided that I wanted to keep as close to Jackie's sketch as I could and still maintaining CAS style. I also knew that I wanted to draw the colours and flowers from Lesley's photo. So I started with a simple chevron stamped across the card and I stamped my sentiment in the same spot as the sketch. I created my flowers and then adhered them in the same location as the black shapes on the sketch. Two flowers plus the sentiment create a visual triangle. So that is my science.
I hope you play along with this new challenge blog, I think it will be a blast!
