Runway Inspired



So I decided to finally try my hand at the Runway Inspired Challenge #44. I've been tracking the challenges for awhile but haven't had the nerve to try it myself. I decided it was time for me to jump out of my comfort zone and just give it a go. The inspiration photo for this challenge is this photo....


I was drawn to the royal blue flourish look to the dress...the belt. and the sheer skirt. I knew exactly which ink I wanted to use....The Memento Luxe ink in "Danube Blue" was such a perfect match for the blue in the dress. I used the Hero Arts Flourish Background stamp as the background of my card and clear embossed over the luxe ink. I then laid a strip of vellum and die cut the Simon Says Stamp large "hello" die from some blue glitter card stock and glued it down over the vellum. I also added a strip of the glittered card stock across the bottom of the vellum to symbolize the blue belt on her dress. GORGEOUS!!! My little girl just loves how it turned out and I have to say so do I!! Enjoy :)

Update! 

Here's what I made with the rest of the paper after die-cutting the first image. Waste not want not right :)
