Fusion Challenge #8


Today's Fusion Card Challenge #8 is a bright and cheery one...just look at this photo and sketch:


I had no hesitation this week...I knew from the minute I saw this picture that I was going to base my card on the rainbow of chevron colors.  
I used Waltzingmouse Stamps Funky Feathers stamp set and brought out an array of ink colors as close as I could get to the ones in the inspiration photo.  Notice the chevron pattern in the feathers?  How cool is that?  The birthday die cut is from Papertrey Ink as well as the inked "Happy" stamp.  It is a very rare day when I make a card that can actually be sent through the mail and I am happy to say this one definitely qualifies.

I am hoping you will want to play along with our challenge...just make a card based on either the sketch, the inspirational photo, or a little bit of both for perfect "fusion"!  You have two weeks to play,  the challenge ends on Monday, May 5th, noon PST.  Here's some more inspiration from the Fusion Design Team!

I saw this earlier today then got phone call, and forgot to comment. So now I'm back to tell you how gorgeous your design is. Love this card Cathy. So nice when you have an idea in your head and it turns out as nice as this. I really like that you stamped on an angle.

The feathers look amazing in all these bright pretty colors! How can I call this CAS when I know how hard it was to line all those little guys up like that? Nothing simple about it!
