Watercolored Hello

Hi friends and fellow crafters!
I have a card to share today using the new Altenew stamp- Doodle flowers which I recently laid hands on. LOVE, love, love these stamps !! 
I decided to play along the Runaway Inspired challenge this time as the inspiration picture really called to me.  The bright neon pink and that jeweled neckline from the Ralph Lauren collection is gorgeous and here's my take on it :


I was inspired by the color and the layered skirt. To recreate that, I took a piece of watercolor paper and just smooshed my Picked raspberry Distress ink pad on it very unevenly and I then I heavily spritzed it with water and let it dry.
I was also inspired by the neckline and tried to recreate it on my card by stamping and gold heat embossing the Altenew Doodle flowers stamp set on vellum and fussy cutting it. Placed some blue and yellow rhinestones in the center of the flowers. as well as scattering them on the sides,
I die cut my sentiment on a piece of black cardstock, used the negative of it and placed gold washi behind it to incorporate the belt.
I wanted to incorporate the yellow shirt on the right side of the picture on my card so I stamped a striped panel and placed it on the bottom of my card.
I know I went quite literal in my inspiration of the picture but I guess thats how my mind works, stuck on details. He he! :D

Supplies used :
Base cardstock- Watercolor paper, The Paper Accents Vellum and Campap
Dies- Spellbinders A2 Bracket Borders One,  WRMK Albums Made Easy Text dies.
Stamps- Altenew Doodle flowers, Bo Bunny To the Point stamp set.
Inks - Distress ink Picked Raspberry, Hero Arts Butter Bar ink pad, Versamark Dazzle Embossing ink pad.
Ranger Super fine Gold embossing powder, Gold Glitter Washi tape and rhinestones.


Challenges entered :
RIC - Photo Inspiration ( Made it to Top 3! )
Jo's Scrap Shack- Bling it up
STAMPlorations- Stamps & inks
Little Red Wagon - Sparkle and Shine

I hope you like my take on the inspiration picture. I'm not 100% sure about this card so would love to hear your view on it.
Have a nice day everyone!

    A very quick visit Hussana, we've had no internet the last few days and sounds like it's going to be off again for server maintenance but just wanted to check on your latest makes and say hello.

    Everything about this card is beautiful, but it's that peek of yellow stripes at the bottom that I am instantly drawn to! Thanks so much for joining us on the Runway! :)

    This is a dream, Hussena. I love how you were inspired by the photo and how you created all the details with loving care. I love the attention you paid to the bottom of the card, I would probably just have adhered my watercolored piece and left it at that. Thanks for the inspiration. And for joining us this month at STAMPlorations!
