I've missed the last couple of Runway Inspired Challenges so wanted to get back on board with it this week. I was inspired by the colours and pattern on the dress and it made me think of this paisley stamp. I have no idea who made it or where it came from but it's been in the Craft Cave for a while now. I stamped, embossed, coloured and fussy cut it 6 times (which took waaaaay longer than I expected) and used it to make a flower. The centre is a button layered with punched circles to match the flower. Must dash now as I've got to be at work in less than an hour. Hope you're all having a lovely day!Cardstock: (White) Gina K, (Pacific Point, Basic Black) Stampin' Up
