It's Not Easy Being Queen


Popping in super quick before I jet off to work for the afternoon.  I'm playing along with Unity's Friends With Flair blog hop and the Runway Inspired Challenge.  These dress forms from Unity's latest KOM made me think of fashion and models which made me think of Runway Inspired.  So I pulled a few colours from the RIC dress and came up with this simple one layer card.  It'll be added to the stack for the big special order I'm working on.  :)


I'm excited to report that the octopus has returned!  I'd really given up hope of seeing him again but there his was yesterday in his little cave under the steps by the dock.  Now if I can just keep Luis from eating him... 


Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (White) Bazzill

Stamps:  (Images & sentiment from May '12 KOM - Love In An Instant) Unity
Ink:  (Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point, Lucky Limeade) Stampin' Up
Gems:  (Tangerine, Limeade & Blue Jean assortments) Doodlebug

  1. Love that sentiment, lol! Very cool interpretation of the inspiration pic! I love the look of stamped images leading off the card:)

    That is so cool about the octopus! My oldest (by 5 mins, lol), Brady, has been asking if we can get an octopus for his aquarium (he's serious). He would die to see one in the wild!

  21. THAT SENTIMENT IS SO ME! I love it. And since I'm trying to replace my usual go-to F word with 'freaking' it really is too perfect, lol.
    Love the colours, and so excited to hear the octopus is back! I want to see him too - and tell Luis if he eats him now, the interwebs will get him.

  22. Love what you did with the dress forms. The colors are awesome. I read your bio, & you sound a lot like me -- emerging from the craft cave only when necessary! I've never seen an octopus, except in captivity, so consider it a blessing.
