Runway Inspired Challenge {Hello}

Today I am playing along with the Runway Inspired Challenge. I was drawn to the black outline and bold colours. I got out a new stamp set for me from Altenew called Scribbled Flowers and inked it with Stazon onto watercolour paper. Then I watercoloured each floral image! I loved the "splash" of colour from the big red bow so the "hello" sentiment from the Halftone Hello set seemed like a nice way to represent that pop of red. Totally out of my comfort zone but so much fun to make! I then tied some twine around the middle, again echoing the red bow.

Hello stamping friends! I managed to get some craft time in today and I decided to do some more water coloring with my Altenew stamps. I was inspired to play along with the Runway Inspired Challenge. I have been trending toward a more clean and simple style of stamping these days. I added some vellum over my watercolored blooms. And I used a sentiment from a Wplus9 set.

This is another project I started and discarded but it was fun to play with the ink and the stamps.

Runway Inspired Challenge {Hello}

I have been eyeing up the Runway Inspired Challenge for a week or so and I really wanted to play along. I love the inspiration photo! This is my first time playing along with this challenge. Oh my word...what a fun idea! Love the gorgeous colours, the texture and the design of the dress. I also rounded the bottom right corner of my card...to mimic the sweeps and rounded sections of the dress. Boy! Wish I could wear something this cool!

 

I used this flower from my stash as I think the scallops and texture of it worked with the design of the dress. I also loved the "snips" of black...and tried to add some black with sentiment and the foliage. I got out some satin ribbon and used it to mimic the belt...and I went with an ivory base rather than white because of the model's hair and the flooring. 

I hope I played along correctly. I had a lot of fun! I will be back to this cool challenge. Thank you so much for stopping by and visiting me today. I appreciate your supportive comments.
