Unscripted Sketches #192 and Runway Inspired Challenge #26 - Bibhu Mohapatra

and 

I'm really enjoying making a card that qualifies for more than one challenge! It is a great way to attract new visitors to a blog and perhaps introduce them to challenges that they may not be aware of.

Check out the fabulous colors at this weeks Runway Inspired Challenge and this week's sweet sketch at Unscripted Sketches.  The designer outfit is sporting some glorious shades of green...from the hues of  lime green in the tunic top to the 'pea soup' color of the skirt, while the Unscripted sketch presents a world of possibilities!

I used the white card base to reflect the runway and walls.  The navy mat on my card reflects the navy edging on the tunic top. The 'arrow' shaped pieces on my card mimic parts of the pattern on the top. The navy stripe that runs through my 'arrows' is also part of the same pattern.

I think that the 'arrows' also draw attention to the middle of the card just as the panels of navy on the side of the top narrows her waist (as if she needs an illusion to make her midriff look slim!!!)

A "Hello" sentiment seemed appropriate as the arrows meeting in the middle of the card reminded me of two people connecting to have a chat.

Card deets:  SU paper, Michaels Dollar Bin sentiment, SU embossing powder
