Imagine how happy I was when I received a sweet little invitation from Michelle Williams - that's Amusing Michelle - to be her guest designer for the Fusion 2nd Anniversary Celebration? SO honored ... it is one of my favorite challenges.
Check out the fabulous photo/sketch I had the honor of working with - can we really call this work?
An old favorite wood-mount stamp from Stampendous: Ranunculi - called to me. oh I adore it. This time I paired it with a darling chevron patterned paper to mimic the table runner - can you believe this? how did they know I cannot resist table linens? - leaving a bright white margin on either side of the card to represent the table. I've even pulled out a few enamel dots in their honor ... that is something to celebrate!
... is yet to come!
Congratulations on your 2nd Anniversary!!
Thank you, Michelle, and Fusion, for having me as your guest! What a thrill for me to celebrate YOU! I so look forward to 'playing cards' with you in 2016!
