Squeaking in a card for this week's Fusion Card Challenge.
I have to say that I really struggled this week with the inspiration. Loved the photo and the sketch but the fusion and still making it my own--wasn't working for me. I persevered and came up with a card that I will be giving to my niece who just got engaged this past weekend at the cottage!
So excited for this fabulous couple!
Here is my card:
All supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted.
Cardstock: Kraft, White
Patterned paper: Kraft Patterned Paper Pack
Stamps: Wonderful Words Memories, Pretty Peonies, Beautiful Butterflies
Ink: True Black (PTI) VersaMark (Tsukineko)
Dies: Pretty Peonies, Wobnderful Words Memories
other: foam tape, white embossing powder
Oh, Tracey, this is so perfect for the challenge! LOVE everything about this fabulous card!
