Hello there!

It is time for a new Runway Inspired challenge, and joining us as a guest designer is none other than Jennifer Mcguire!!

Here is the inspiration photo:

Well, we have something a little different this time, two sets of outfits instead of the usual one.  My first take was the scattered flowers which are present in both outfits. Initially I wanted to use a black grid against yellow as background for my flowers (outfit on right). However, my flowers being very light in color were not looking prominent enough against a busy background, so I decided to back them with navy blue (left outfit) and came with this:

I decided to mimic the rusty looking wall for the background of my panel. I applied distress ink (frayed burlap)  with a sponge applicator on a piece of white card stock. I wasn’t being careful to blend it well so it came out pretty quickly. I then sprinkled some water droplets all over.

To make the roses, I used this flower punch. You can watch this video on YouTube to see how to make them.

I used white card stock to punch out the flowers, and applied ink to the edges of the outer petals. I left the innermost one completely white. The leaves are die cuts from this Memory box die.

This week’s sponsor is Ellen Hutson, and the winner will get a $25 gift card to her store!
