Class Act

This card is simple, but tedious! I have been wanting to use this die cut set, but I didn't really have any ideas until the current Fusion challenge was posted. The bow tie theme is awesome and the sketch goes with it perfectly! Here are the materials I used and the inspiration picture:

• labels 8 by spellbinders
• gold embossing powder

Orange, Teal, & Brown (oh and orange again!)

I found some new challenge blogs that I wanted to try out. One is called Fusion Card Challenge and the other is AAA Cards. I like that Fusion provides a theme and a layout for your cards. You can choose to use the theme, the sketch, or both! The theme right now is "Orange, Teal, & Brown." AAA Cards promotes clean and simple designs. The current theme there is "Orange U Glad UR CAS."

Here are the materials I used:

• Spring Medley stamp set by Impression Obsession
• Flower Trio die set by Impression Obsession
• Labels 8 by Spellbinders
• Pierced Circles by My Favorite Things
