Fusion 9.16.21 // Color Hues #26

 2 cards // each inspired by 1 challenge...

Card #1 

Fusion // 9.16.21 ...A fusion challenge!! Use either the sketch or the photo...or fuse them together and use both!!  For this card I used both the sketch and the photo.

Card #2

Color Hues // #TCH26 ...A color challenge!!  Pink & Purple are the colors for this current challenge.  For this duo I used Stampin Up's Highland Heather and Blushing Bride.  I am very disappointed with the photo...neither color rings true in this photo maybe if I have time this evening after work I can retake it.

for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.
