Fusion Card Challenge

It's time for another Fusion Card Challenge! I've always been fascinated by the adorable hedgehog stamp images in blog land, but believe it or not, I don't own a single one! My two wheeled image options were also very limited so I went digi shopping! I found this really cute digi image on Di's Digi Stamps and had a ball coloring it up with Copics! I'm also trying to add some highlights with a white gel pen (Hobby Lobby has a pack of two pens - Gelly Roll bright white ink by Sakura) when I do Copic coloring. It always adds interest and depth when others do it, so I added some dots to the cheeks and to the geraniums.

I modified the circle element and used a Stitched Rounded Rectangle die by My Favorite Things. The sentiment is from the Sentiment Sampler set by Paper Smooches and the patterned papers are from the "Sunkissed" 6x6 pad by Doodlebug Design. One of my favorite card base dies is from MFT's Blueprints 27 set. It was OOS for a really long time, but I finally snagged it.

As you can see...I used both the sketch and was inspired by the photo as well! We'd love to see how you are inspired by the new Fusion Card Challenge! Hope to see you in the gallery.

This week's theme at Raise the Bar is "Furry Friends" and we're happy to have Di's Digi Downloads as our sponsor! You'll want to check out the super adorable images on this web site and you'll even have opportunity to download the free digi that I've used in my card! I colored it with Copics and then popped a frame (using 2 postage Nesties) to create the illusion of a window. This will be entered into Bev's Hope You Can Cling To challenge on SCS: "Looking in on You". If you haven't joined in on this month long series of challenges...you'll need to check it out! There will be some really big prizes up for grabs for participants! The layout for my card is Wednesday's Sketch Challenge on SCS.
