Let's Celebrate & Paint the Town Red...


I'm always challenged by the Runway Inspired Challenges, and this fortnight was no exception, but I really wanted to join in the fun, especially with Pretty Pink Posh as sponsor! The "hills" on the side panels of this outfit reminded me of a landscape, combined with these colours my first thought was of the saying "Paint the Town Red", and so the idea for this "Let's Celebrate... and paint the town red" card was born. My NBUS Altenew Sketchy Cities America and Super Script stamps were perfect for the occasion - I LOVE the way they stamp so perfectly for embossing. The cityscape was painted in watercolour and fussy cut to maintain the clean lines of the inspiration outfit.
 
Playing along with Darnell's NBUS Friendship Challenge too!

  1. I hear you on how challenging the challenges are at RIC, Lyndal! Eeek! Sometimes I can't even get passed the outfit to come up with an idea! I love your unique interpretation of the hills/City and painting the town red, especially how it looks like a huge canvas on which the paint is dripping down!

    Thank you so much for joining in my NBUS Challenge again!! Hugs, Darnell
