Luck, Peace & Happiness



I don't play along with the Runway Inspired Challenge very often.  I always plan to and I add the closing date to my challenge list and print out the photo to keep on my desk but then I freeze up.  I'm a little intimidated by the amazing design team and after looking at their cards it's like those are the only designs that will come into my head.  Once in a while though I get clobbered by an idea immediately.  The pattern on this skirt made me think of this Studio Calico paper and the dog (a chow, I think) sent me searching for my Ori Kami stamps.  This card came together really quickly after that which is so exciting!  I love when that happens!  Yay for cooperating mojo!




Supplies Used:
Cardstock:  (Smokey Slate, Brushed Gold)  Stampin' Up
Patterned Paper:  (Darling Dear 6x6) Studio Calico
Stamps:  (Bird and sentiment from Ori Kami) Altenew
Inks:  (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Gems:  Recollections

  7. I'm so far behind in commenting that I'm popping in to make an appearance ;) I have absolutely LOVED everything from the last couple weeks - that sympathy card, omg. I'm going to need to shop Altenew methinks. This is another beauty - that background paper could not be more perfect!!

  10. Such a fantastic card for this challenge. I also don't normally play this one, because I am rarely struck with inspiration from these photos--you hats off to you for making such a beautiful card.
