Fusion Challenge 4.15.21 // The Library Challenge #80

 2 challenges inspired today's card...

Fusion // 4.15.21 ...A fusion challenge!  Use either the photo or the sketch or fuse them together and use both.  Today I used the colors from the photo and the sketch as my inspiration.  I love the idea of floral arrangement so I may be back with another card later on this week.  But for today the sketch was perfect for this second challenge.

The Library Challenge // #80 ...A book challenge! The librarian pulls a book off the shelf and challenges us to use the cover, the title or the story for our inspiration.  The current book that has been pulled off the shelf is Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Today I used the story!  My film strip represents that fact that it was also made into a movie!

 

Verse of the Day:

Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.
