Runway Inspired

When I saw this photo for the Runway Inspired Challenge I immediately had two great ideas pop into my head.

Sadly, sometimes these ideas just don't turn out as expected on paper. No matter how much you play around with it, it just doesn't work.

So I came up with this card instead.
I took some pearlized paper that has a bit of texture and added shimmery and gauzy ribbon that was woven where the pieces cross. I added the sentiment with Versafine Smokey Gray ink, to keep the look very soft.

Thanks for stopping by!

    Your other ideas may not have worked out, but this one is so gorgeous, Sue! I love the way you mimicked the woven pattern on her blouse! Such soft texture - just lovely!
