FUSION Hypothesis #10

Voting for Round 3 of the Gallery Idol Challenge is still open until tomorrow at noon and you can head on over and cast a vote if you haven't already. While I wait on pins and needles, I'm playing along in the Fusion Challenge this week. If you haven't yet checked it out the concept is that you can use the Photo, the Sketch or a Fusion of the two as your inspiration to create a card.

I opted to go with the image for my card this week. I decide I would not only try to incorporate the colors but tried to capture the 'beachy' feel. This is what I came up with and it reminds me of the small towns and tourist spots that dot the shores of the East Coast. Places like Wildwood, NJ, Bar Harbor, ME and Cape Cod, MA where one can find old wooden signs that are worn by the sun, wind and water which inspired me to use this sentiment and die cut as my focal point.

Here's hoping you have a glorious Summer and plenty of friends around to share both the good times and the hard times.

Happy Crafting!
