RIC#53 Temperley London

Hi everyone!

I'm just popping by with a card I created for the next Runway Inspired Challenge.  After the last one, I've become rather addicted.  I'm truly happy to have been nominated as a Fabulous Fashionista in the last round (Thank you RIC team!)

The inspiration for this week's challenge is this gorgeous purple dress.  The colors are just so rich and beautiful.  I immediately went to work.

This is my creation inspired by the Temperley dress:


 I really wanted to emphasize the beautiful flowers and the black lace pattern.  I started by stamping roses from Papertrey Ink's "The Sweet Life stamp set" onto water color paper.  Next I colored them in with distressed ink markers.  I went over them with water and I must admit I'll never get tired of this delicate look.  I finished off with a black strip and a gold embossed sentiment.  I used Hero Arts dye ink in black to stamp the flowers as well as distress the embossed side panel.  Purple is my favorite color, so I just adore this card! 

I'll also be entering this card into A Blog Named Hero's Challenge #37 Flowers, where the theme just so happens to be flowers :P

Until next time, keep on crafting.

Janet
