Seize the Runway...


 

E.T.A. Joining in the fun with Moxie Fab Hip on Handwriting Challenge

Even though I LOVE the DTs cards and gallery created each fortnight for the Runway Inspired Challenges, they always challenge me LOL.  This time I thought I'd deconstruct the process for creating my Runway Inspired Challenge #57 Markus Lupfer card.  If you look closely at the dress, there are a number of pigeons on it, and "love" speech bubbles, so I thought this sentiment was most appropriate.  The sentiment was the first element I chose for the card, as I liked the similarities between the graphic style of the doodle font of the Autumn Leaves sentiment and the dress. The Alley Way Stamps Lighter Than Air birdies are a similar graphic style. I chose this weeks fabulous Seize the Sketch as the basis for my card, as it replicated the overlapping graphic shapes found on the RIC inspiration dress, my bottom panel became a die cut window, though which you can see the inside decorated panel.  The floral pattern and paperpieced colours are chosen straight from the dress, as well as the Simon Says Stamp speech bubble. Thought it appropriate to play along with Catered Crop Put a Bird on it Challenge too!

Hope you are having a super creative weekend!
