I took a break from scrapbooking today to get a few cards made. I’ll be back later with some more, but I wanted to post my card for the Runway Inspired Challenge. This is the first time I’ve ever participated in it, but I was so inspired by all the designers’ creations, I decided to give it a go.
Here’s the inspiration:
What stunning shoes! I’d barely make it across the room in heels that high, but I sure do like them. Here’s my card based on the colors.
I love these colors together: Raspberry Fizz, Simply Chartreuse, and Hibiscus Burst. I used the Papertrey Ink chevron dies to cut both a large and small chevron of each color and decided two small and one large looked best. The sentiment (stamped in Simply Chartreuse) is Think Big Favorites #3, also by Papertrey Ink. I added three tiny gems since the inside sentiment is a continuation of the sentiment on the front: it’s going to be your best birthday yet!
The chevron dies are long enough that I was able to make two cards, so now I have two more summer birthday cards ready to send.
love that color combo – you rocked that challenge Karen!
Those heels are quite stunning … but I would never wear them either! The card is a great way to use the colours, I love it!
I love that colour combo as well….also the shoes…but I wouldn’t be able to walk in them either!
I think the gems really tie it in with the runway theme. . . very fashion classy!

I have been browsing through some of your recent posts – your photography is amazing, your scrapbooking style is something I aspire to (just can’t work with 12 x 12) and the cards are brilliant, wish I had that set. Keep up the wonderful blog posts, I love the travelogue through America.
That shoe is gorgeous – but I couldn’t walk in it. Your card is also beautiful, and so much more accessible.
just saw this on Runway and love what you have done. Really CAS and so elegant-had to check your site oit when I saw this card!
Very elegant, Karen! Love the color combo and CAS design! Also love the shoe…although I’d have to just stand in one spot and never move all night to wear it, lol!
I’m so glad you decided to join us this time! I adore your card, especially the die cutting! Thanks for joining us on the Runway 🙂
Those chevrons are awesome, and make just the type of card I love.
So gorgeous!
Yay! So glad you played with us! And I’m with you on the height of that heel. Yikes!
