Hey!
Wa-hooo for Friday! So looking forward to the weekend; we've got nothing special planned and sometimes they're the kinda weekends I like the best :)
So I promised that I'd be back with my second card for the current (and very nearly ending!) Runway Inspired Challenge #10
I guess I really was inspired by those colours and for my second entry I was inspired by the colour blocking trend (I ignored the chevrons for this one!)
I truly colour blocked the orange, gold and black. The gold is some 'magic' card I picked up ages ago and when you stamp and emboss in clear ink and powder it gives this really cool foiled effect. (FYI: I reckon there's nothing magic about this card at all. I'd be tempted to experiment on any glossy, metallic card).
The only problem with this card is that it's a pain to photograph:
I wish I could say that these challenges make me a fashionista, but I would still look like a satsuma in that shade of orange - ha! Mind you, my guy reckons I'd be more of a clementine wearing this shade of orange: still very orange but very sweet too (altogether now, 'awwww!' or 'bleugh!') Ha!
Have a fabulous weekend - whatever you're up to!
Catch ya later!

I still say magic, pure magic, Duchess...totally cool the way the sentiment looks like it's part of the card stock :) It's a sunny Friday morning! Woohoo!

I dig it, Aimes! The color-blocking really works. And you know I'm a sucker for subtle embossed sentiments.
