Fusion Tulips


I don’t know about you, but when it’s been a while since I’ve done any stamping, and I’m feeling a bit rusty, it’s always good to get the creative juices flowing again by jumping in on a challenge.  Today I decided to do the Fusion Challenge where you can choose inspiration, sketch or both.  The inspiration is above and I obviously chose to use both elements.  I think black, white and yellow is such a great colour combination!


I began by printing Power Poppy’s beautiful Tulip digi and printing on Cougar Opaque White cardstock.  I coloured it up with Copics, carefully fussy cutting it out and placing it on a black oval.  



I added a little embossing to the yellow panel and the papers are older SU (black) and then Echo Park Summer Bliss for the yellow.  A little bit of lace anchors the main banner and then a few rhinestones give the bottom of the design a little weight.  A great challenge to jump in on :) 

And I *hope* to do a few more challenges this week to...just to get the moth balls out of my creative head :)
