CASology Week 40, Runway Inspired Challenge #34 and Addicted to CAS #11





Don't you just love the fabulous pop of red lipstick? One wee splash of color made this stunning creation go from Wow  to WOW with the stroke of a lip brush! She's also sporting some pretty fine looking shoes too!

I love the simple elegance of black & white. When I saw this challenge at Runway Inspired Challenge, I could not pass it bye! I'm also entering this week's Casology challenge, where the cue word is Word and also challenge #11 at Addicted to CAS where the code word is Flower.

Simple details:  Image is a $1 stamp that I found in a wee craft store somewhere in Tulsa, OK about five years ago (Autumn Leaves). The sentiment is from an Inkadinkado set. The paper (of which I am hoarding) is X-press It Blending Card Stock with Stazon Solvent Jet Black ink.

    Gorgeously CAS! Love the pop of red. Such a fantastic take on the inspiration photo! Thanks for visiting! Here's hoping that the sunshine comes out and starts to melt all the snow that is still hanging around. A little of ours melted today, but not nearly enough!

    Gasp, clunk, sigh ... sharp intake of breath, chin hitting ground, gentle exhalation of complete admiration ... you keep doing it, Geri ... this has taken top spot on my 'Geri Favorites' list! LOVE LOVE LOVE how you've taken the elegance of the dress and made it into the most beautiful card, mimicking the flow and movement of the fabric with that lovely stamp, paired with just the teeniest hint of shiny red ... totally, totally awesome! It has winner written all over it! Anita :)

    Will em a little later when I've come down from my cloud of admiration!
