I've missed the last couple of Runway Inspired Challenges so wanted to get back on board with it this week. I was inspired by the colours and pattern on the dress and it made me think of this paisley stamp. I have no idea who made it or where it came from but it's been in the Craft Cave for a while now. I stamped, embossed, coloured and fussy cut it 6 times (which took waaaaay longer than I expected) and used it to make a flower. The centre is a button layered with punched circles to match the flower. Must dash now as I've got to be at work in less than an hour. Hope you're all having a lovely day!Cardstock: (White) Gina K, (Pacific Point, Basic Black) Stampin' Up

I love how you made flower petals out of the paisley stamp! Thanks for playing along with the Runway Inspired Challenge!
That's a a perfect flower! Don'tcha hate it when you get halfway through the idea and think "WHY???? did I decide to do this?" At least this time the final project was totally worth it!
Gorgeous card!
Can you believe I was thinking of doing a paisley-petalled flower the other day but thought it would take too long to cut them out... you've shown that it really is worth it Jen - I love the effect of your flower and so perfect for the challenge too.
Wow! Crazy cutting skillz and patience at work here! Awesome card, and I like how you riffed on the background lettering as well as the dress print.

Love this. What a clever idea to use that paisley for a flower. I can see why the cutting took a while, but the results are sure worth it.
Um, WOW! This is absolutely amazing, Jen! So much detail yet perfectly CAS. I love it.
GORGEOUS! Love it, Jen! That flower really pops against the black! Wow! :)
Amazing take on this challenge, Jen! This is such a great color and pattern combo. I can't do this challenge because these models look like they need a serious cheeseburger - really! You did great, as always!
