FUSION Challenge - Jan 2nd, 2014

The day has arrived when I begin the new year 2014 on my blog with this very first post... so here's wishing you a very Happy New Year !! May this year brings you all that your heart desires :) My heart desires a lot of things, everything crafty :D, yeah!! that's the greedy crafter in me talking. 
But at this time, my heart wants to thank some one very special, a friend, a well wisher who mailed a lot of crafty goodness for me just to make my new year much more creative :) Thank you so much. This card and many more to come will acknowledge my thankfulness to her :) and a big thanks to my husband for surprising me with a set of 20 washi tape plus a dispenser (from We are Memory Keepers). You just made my New year newer :)
FUSION is a very interesting challenge, it gives us a photo and a sketch, so possibilities are endless with the freedom given in the challenge. You can just work with the sketch or just photo but in my case I Fused the two. 
To make this card, I scored the central panel using Martha Stewart score board. I inked up the feather die (sent by my friend) with Hero Hues Chalk ink - Night, the wood veneer hexagons (from Studio Calico) with Hero Arts Shadow Ink - Raspberry Jam n Chalk Ink - Poppy. I stuck the washi tape n rest of the elements together. Added the banner of sentiment from Paper sweeties. Finishing touches were added by twine and drops of ink.

There is a lot more inspiration available for you by our lovely team. Go and check out :) Also, for more details about the challenge please visit Fusion Card Challenge 


I am also linking this up to the following challenges -

1. Crazy for CAS #34 - ANYTHING GOES!

2. Inkspirational #46 - ANYTHING GOES!

3. Keep it Simple #30 - ANYTHING GOES!


Thank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment :)

    First...you are really, really good. Seriously good. I would never in a million years been able to combine so many different elements to make them appear as though they came together in a kit, or stamp/die set. I am in awe! Love the scoring...and the perfectly random placement of the ink splotches too. Beautiful card.

    This card is so pretty, Deepti! I love how you took the pretty colors and 'fused' them with the sketch...what a great idea to emboss your card base in a vertical pattern, too! I love how you inked your feather and hexagons and how they create movement on this card!

    Welcome home! I'm so glad you've joined the Fusion DT, and I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us!

    Your card is SO gorgeous...the pairing of the feather and the hexagons works so well....I would have never thought to put those two elements together but it WORKS! :)
