Fusion Challenge: Hello (Summer! )

It's the Fusion Challenge again.  As always they offer two inspirations, one from the sketch and one from an actual photo with some elements waiting to be transformed.


I'm particular interested in the sketch on the right side, since first I never did it before and second, non-Americans can still join the challenge even though the title says Red White and Blue.  

And third, a sketch inspiration is always easier.  Why?  It's because not many people have many choices of patterns, stamps and ink colours to match the elements/colours in the photos, especially new cardmakers.   As a result,I always look to the layout and try to put together my limited materials. ( I also wonder why scrap-booking stuff in Dubai is so shocking expensively, (2-3X more than US) but I'll talk about it later.)

Anyway, my friend Stephanie came to do card-making last Sunday, and we both produced a couple of nice ones. This is mine.





It's sunny, breezy and happy. It says Hello, which is a rub-on I purchased last year while in Singapore.

I will post Stephanie's cards later.  She's not big on making cards but I forced her to make some with me and I'm telling ya, she's a natural.
