Fusion Card Challenge #9

Welcome to Fusion Card Challenge #9...each week the cards submitted for our challenges keep getting better and better...here's a link to last week's favorites...hope you see your card in our gallery!
Every two weeks we post a new challenge with three different ways to play along:
                                           1) Use the sketch
                                           2) Use the Inspiration Photo
                                           3) Combine them and use a little bit of both (Fusion)!

Here is your inspiration for Week #9:

This week I combined a little of both.
I loved the black, yellow and white combination from the photo as well as the banners from the sketch.   I used Lil Inker Spring Flowers Die Set and created some very dimensional flower embellishments.  Once I started layering them, I had to force myself to stop.  Can't you just see those flowers done in red and whites for a beautiful dimensional Christmas poinsettia?  I can't wait to give that a try next holiday season.  I also used a Stitched Mat Square as the flower pot and the great big "Hello" sentiment from Darling Diamonds Stamp Set.
Still need a little more inspiration?  The Fusion Design Team would love for you to visit and see what we all have created for you.  You have two weeks to play along with our challenge...the challenge ends on Monday, May 19th at noon PST.  Have fun!
