Hello friends! Guess what? Today I'm joining the Runway Inspired Challenge girls as a guest designer! I love, love, love the whole concept and would have never imagined than an outfit could be interpreted so many ways. Oh, but it sure can... just take a look at the RIC archives. Amazing.
Ok, so I guess this is the closer this 1,55 metres girl will ever be to a runway, ha! Here's the inspiration outfit. It's one of Diane Von Furstenberg's signature wrap dresses, this time in a striking geometric print.
My take on it is based on the colors and the geometry. I used a crazy ammount of white space to draw the attention to the focal panel, and let it "breathe" at the same time. Does that make sense?
I designed the panel on the Cameo software. The striped rectangle is a premade design from the Silhouette store, so I just typed the sentiment in a slim font (to mimic the model's body) and welded it to the rectangle. Once everything was die cut, I cut narrow strips of colored cardstock with my trimmer and adhered them to the back of the rectangle. A bit time consuming, but pretty relaxing too :)
You can check all the challenge details here. I hope you'll play along!
Thanks for visiting!
Head over heals for your cut file, and crazy amount of white space, Lorena! I assumed you markered behind the boxes, so when I read that you cut and attached tiny paper strips, you can bet I was impressed. Wonderful card!
