Mona Pendleton | Thursday, January 1, 2015 @ 6:00 AM | PTI

Happy New Year! I'm so thrilled and honored to share that my dear and talented friend Julia Aston invited me to join along as her guest for the first Fusion Card Challenge of 2015!!! The Fusion Card Challenge is celebrating their One Year Anniversary! Please be sure to visit the Fusion Card Challenge site to see all the inspiration that the talented DT has to share!

I was inspired by both the sketch and the photo. I inked up one of my favorite PTI stamp sets which includes the mini canning jar:

I combined pretty patterned paper from my stash along with a variety of die cuts as well as a gold bow and rose embellishment:

Many thanks for stopping by! Please be sure to visit the the Fusion Card Challenge site to see all the inspiration that the talented DT has to share!
Be Sweet ;)
