Runway Inspired Challenge #13 - House of Holland

--------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the Runway Inspired challenge.  I love the houndstooth and found some free houndstooth to print out onto cardstock.  I made two cards so here they are:

For this one, I took a butter card from Paper Source and stamped Text Style in malted milk (Jenni Bowlin).  Then I die cut a Pretty Peonies frame in a lighter houndstooth pattern, stamped with cotton candy (Jenni Bowlin) and the sentiment in soap powder (Jenni Bowlin).  I cut a thin strip of the darker houndstooth and added two brads from my stash.

I popped up the frame on some foam dots and that's it.

For my next card, I went with more saturated colours:

I did some direct to paper inking with the flowers and leaves.  I then layered the pink and yellow (all Jenni Bowlin inks) and the leaves were inked with Distress Ink (broken china).  I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black.  Ops, just realized I forgot the sentiment inside but I guess I can do that when I decide who this card is for! 

I inked up the edges of the front panel with chai vintage touch ink.  Hard to tell, but I used some clear embossing powder on the flowers and leaves for a little more dimension and interest.
