Here I am, back for the latest Runway Inspired Challenge, ric#48 . I embossed roses, foliage, and butterflies on cream card stock, and roughly water colored some of the images. I inset the sentiment and the hearts by die cutting the background and replacing the die cut pieces with pale pink (Blushing Bride) pieces. I tried black hearts (to match the black on the bodice of the dress), but my heart die was a bit too big, black hearts looked a little macabre. So, I used the pale pink, water colored over them a bit, and then added clear Wink of Stella for the shimmer.
This is the Antonio Marras inspiration look for this challenge:
Supplies: Stamps – Stampin’ Up!, paper – Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream, Stampin’ Up! Basic Black, Blushing Bride, inks – Stampin’ Up! Blushing Bride, Calypso Cameo, Mellow Moss (retired), Wink of Stella clear, VersaFine Onyx Black, dies – Lawn Fawn (heart), Spellbinders (rectangle), embossing powder – Filigree Fine Art Powder clear.

Oh, thank you! I thought the dress seemed so delicate, I tried to keep that as I was putting it on paper.
