I was excited to see this week's Fusion challenge - I love rainbows and I love the spring feeling from the inspiration photo. And it's starting to feel like spring around here (I have to say that quietly, in case I bring on a snowstorm!).
I usually prefer inspiration challenges to sketch challenges and really wasn't planning on combining the two for my card. But once I finished my flower, I could see how the sketch would really work. As for the idea of the rainbow petal - I was inspired by Altenew's Wild Hibiscus set. I love the sketchy feel and the 'extra' lines on the images. But it's out of stock in most of my usual places so I decided to make my own!
I used:
-Essentials by Ellen Bohemian Garden (and matching die)
-Essentials by Ellen Mondo Magnolia
-MFT Blue Prints #25

ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw Fusion's inspiration photo, I wondered what you'd come up with! And I love what you've made! This is a brilliant idea. Lots of color concentrated in one petal. And is that a touch of WoS I see on your rainbow? LOVE that swath of yellow, too. A perfect Spring card! Hope you don't get any more of that fluttery down white stuff! Enjoy your weekend. Bev
