oh happy day {RIC guest designer}

I won't lie. When Jen asked if I'd like to guest design for the Runway Inspired Challenge, I started sweating a little bit.  These girls mean business.  And the fashions aren't always straightforward. But it turned out to be so much fun.

The inspiration photo, from the Matthew Williamson Spring 2014 collection:

It's very flashy. ha. These are some of the things I took from it: the popped up flowers, the translucency underneath the popped up florals, the mix of white and cream, and the flashy pants (which I translated into gold glitter, no neon yellow for me!).

I white-heat-embossed florals onto a kraft tag base, and then did some translucent-type watercoloring over them.



The sentiment was also white-embossed, but onto a strip of cream cardstock.  I helped the lettering come back to life with some subtle watercoloring as well.



I had to pop up at least one flower, didn't I?  And pop it a gold, glittery center.  I hung it from a smaller, vellum tag.

I hope you like it!  Click over to the Runway Inspired Challenge blog to see more inspiration from the Design Team, and check out the prize that is up for grabs.
