This is my take on the current Runway Inspired challenge.
The first two happened - I knew exactly what I wanted to do and after two attempts I could see that it just wasn't going to work. Actually the card was probably fine, but it didn't feel like 'me'. I started searching through my stamps and found this Penny Black butterfly that I just had to have when I saw Heather T play with it - of course I can't find the exact one on her blog now, but she's made quite a few amazing cards with it! All of a sudden I knew what I was going to do again. And this time I'm really happy with it.
I think it captures the inspiration so well, although maybe not in an obvious way? What do you think?
I can understand why you wanted that gorgeous butterfly stamp, Ardy! WOW! It makes for a wonderful interpretation of the RIC with those sweet embossed dots and those jewel tone colors!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThat butterfly stamp is really gorgeous indeed, and I love how you've used it on your card. I think it's a perfect take on the inspiration piece.

ReplyDeleteOh I love it. I think the polka dots on the butterfly pick of the pattern in the jacket and pants. The color is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a stunning interpretation of the RIC. The butterfly's embossed dots and the lovely colors beautifully evoke the spirt of the challenge picture.
ReplyDeleteSo stunning

ReplyDeleteWow, I am loving this card Ardyth! I can't imagine what your first card was, but I do know this card is fabulous in every way. I love that butterfly and see why you had to have it.

This is a fabulous interpretation of the inspiration pic, Ardyth. You are are so clever at thinking outside the box. I kept my design totally inside a box!
ReplyDeleteHeather
Totally a "WOW" card!!! Low that it is embossed!!! Jaw dropping!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous and fabulous. I guess it makes me feel just a teensy bit better knowing that sometimes your cards don't translate from your head to the paper (like mine often don't).
ReplyDeleteYou already know my response to this stunning butterfly card: swooning! Major swooning...
