Bright days with Fusion!

I am here with my fortnightly Fusion fix. This time I was inspired by both the photo and the sketch.

The colours from the photo attracted me immediately and the CAS sketch I had to play with-just switching around. 

I was tempted to add more to this but decided I like it just as it is-hope you do too.

Have a fun weekend.

Time Out #32

Time for a new challenge at TIME OUT Challenges.

This week is our:

CASE with your own Twist

Today we are lucky enough to be CASEing Deepti. Her blog Dee's Art Utopia is a joy to visit. Her creativity blooms.

Here is my CASE of her card:

And here is Deepti's card:

I hope you can see what inspired me. This was way out of my comfort zone but it was fun to challenge myself. So thank you Deepti for this.

Our Guest Designer for this week is the amazingly talented Maura. Her cards are always so very creative and you can check out her Splitcoast stampers gallery here

Deepti had very kindly offered to sponsor this challenge and the winner will get one of her new stamp sets-Blooming Buds which is one of the sets you can get if you sign up for the STAMPlorations Stamp Club

I am very much looking forward to seeing what inspires you. Our DT have all created some fabulous cards and you can check them out here

The Card Concept #36

I have some exciting news today!

I will be joining the Design Team at The Card Concept for this challenge and June. I am joining as one of their 'Clean and Simple' designers. For this challenge there are a number of different styles you could use to create. Check them out here.

For those of you who know me I guess it is no surprise that I was asked to join the team as a CAS designer!

This week we are asking you to be inspired by this photo:

Doesn't this look yummy? 

I was inspired by the long thin straws, the green colour and the idea of cake!

For this challenge our Guest Designer is the very creative and inspiring Shelly who is also a CAS designer-check out her blog here

Now it is your turn to create. I am looking forward to seeing what this photo inspires you and remember you can use any of the design styles you will see here on the The Card Concept blog.

You have until Monday 8th June noon PST to join in the fun.

I will enter this into the challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch

Friends!

Hello my frineds

My card today is for a very special friend and I am hoping she already has it.

I used some of my Birthday goodies to create this card. I went for one layer so nice and easy to post.

I am entering this into the 'Friends' challenge at ShowCASE your style

Guest Designing at 'The Challenge' #36

Hello All,

This week is my last week designing at The Challenge. I would like to thank Lesley for inviting me for the month of May. I have had a lot of fun and hope you have too.

This week it is our 'Theme' week and we are:

'Celebrating Teachers'

I found this a tough challenge as here in England we don't give teachers cards-well not when I was at school or when I was a teacher (yes, I really did teach!!). However after some thinking I came up with a card that I thought could be given to a teacher but also one that I could send to a friend.

Now it is your turn to join in but first take a peek at what the DT have created to inspire you.

I will enter this into the 'die cuts' challenge at Happy Little Stamper May CAS challenge and the 'for the guys' challenge at AAA cards

   

Rahmat's Card Making Corner

Last week I got an email from Rahmat asking if I would like to feature today in her Card Making Corner. I was very honoured and said yes immediately.

This is a bi-monthly segment on her blog, Cards and Cooking Corner. 

Rahmat sent me a list of questions so that she would learn more about me and my creative world (plus a few other things!)

You can check this segment out here and while you are there have a look around Rahmat's blog-you will see she is one talented crafter.

Here is one of Rahmat's card to give you an idea of her creativity:

Thank you Rahmat for this honour x

Inkspirational #83

At Inkspirational this week we have our colour challenge which is right up my street as it is:

Anything Goes with Purple

This is also a very special challenge as our teamie Pia is getting married next week.We have all made her a card and I am hoping this has reached you by now Pia. A little bird told me that you have a sparkle, purple dress so I thought this card would be perfect for you.

I hope you like your little surprise Pia and with one week to go I am sure you are all organised and ready to enjoy the day.

I will enter this into the 'die cuts' challenge at Happy Little Stampers CAS challenge.

Also the 'Wedding' challenge at CASology
