I have a card to share today for two challenges, Runway Inspired Challenge and CAS(E) this Sketch. This is my first time playing along with the Runway Inspired Challenge. I have to admit that this challenge has always intimidated me. I told Virginia Lu that last year when I met her and she said "what do you have to lose"? Well here we are almost a year later and now I am being brave! LOL
I was so inspired by the colours in the runway look. I love the black against the vibrant orange and red. I started by cutting a large circle and then stamping the argyle pattern on it with VersaFine Onyx Black. I die cut the butterfly from a piece of white cardstock that I had inked with Distress Inks. I added the butterfly trail and popped up the butterfly.
