Runway Inspired Challenge - Dennis Basso

Hi everyone!

How's the weather in your part of the world?  It was warm and super sunny here in Seattle.

Today's blog post is about a card I created for the Runway Inspired Challenge.  I usually love love LOVE looking at the inspirational posts on this site because it's based on fashion.  Some how fashion and cards can go hand in hand.  I decided to participate this week because I couldn't resist designing a card based on this dress.  It's gorgeous, soft, delicate, pastel... sigh, I could go on and go about this dress.

Here's my card based on the dress:

Most of the material used on this card is from the Feb 2014 Simon Says Card Kit. I picked a lovely floral paper to replicate the pastel design of her dress and I added vellum to add some airiness to the card. I white embossed a few flowers and the sentiment "Thinking of you" from the Simon Says Stamp set also entitled "Thinking of you".  Next, I finished off the card with some blue ribbon to mimic her pale purse and a few Hero Arts pearls.  This is by far my favorite card.

Hope you have a good week.  Happy (almost) weekend!
Cheers,
Janet
