I just adore this look from Banana Republic...so ladylike, but in an update way! Her accessories just rock - I totally want those shades and bag. And the coordinating shoes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was mostly inspired by the color palette and florals, so I reached for the Beautiful Day stamp set from Altenew's latest release. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I stamped the images using inks from our purple and blue color families. Then, I cut them out and mounted them to a piece of Arches hot pressed watercolor paper that I painted with some quick swipes of color. The sentiment was a mix from two sets - the "hello" from Bejeweled, and the "beautiful" from Beautiful Lady (both Altenew).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br />I used Desert Night ink for the outline and sentiment - I think this might be my new favorite sentiment ink, for when I want something different than black. It's nice and dark, and stamps so crisply.</div>
<br />

For my<a href="http://runwayinspired.blogspot.com/"> Runway Inspired Challenge </a>card, I knew I wanted to incorporate the colors, a floral element, and texture. I then remembered this old textured cardstock that I haven't used in at least a year, so I was happy to break that out :)</div>

I am in love with this feminine dress...isn't it gorgeous!? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I think made and re-made this card about 4 times before I was happy with it. I felt like I couldn't get it to look the way it did in my head- has that ever happened to you? Well anyway, I continued to play around with everything until I ended up with this:</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
After all of that work, I love how it turned out! First I stamped a Hero Arts map background stamp with grey ink on my card base, and covered it with vellum. Then, I stamped a bunch of elements from Altenew's <a href="http://altenew.com/products/vintage-flowers">Vintage Flowers</a>, and die cut them with the coordinating dies. I tried my best to get the colors to match the inspiration dress.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Once it was all arranged the way I liked it, I adhered it to the card with foam tape. Lastly, I added the sentiment, which is from Altenew's <a href="http://altenew.com/products/sketchy-cities-america">Sketchy Cities America</a>.</div>

This was a very quick and easy card to put together. I used two images from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/213025103/fresh-lemon-digital-stamps-lemon-tree?ref=shop_home_active_5&ga_search_query=lemon" target="_blank">Fresh Lemon Digital Stamps</a> to create a background, and printed it onto textured cardstock. Next, I stamped a sentiment from Altenew's <a href="http://altenew.myshopify.com/collections/stamps/products/baby-zoo">Baby Zoo</a> set onto peach cardstock and mounted it to the card with foam tape. The only other thing it needed was a strip of grey cardstock!</div>

My second card is a lot more technique-y (yes! I made two cards!). Using Photoshop, I created a striped background from the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/220659068/blue-watercolor-digital-paper-blue?ref=shop_home_active_1" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Watercolor Digital Paper</a> and printed it out. Then, I went to work on the flower. I used an image from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/129763332/succulent-clipart-silhouettes-photoshop?ref=shop_home_active_12" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Succulent Clipart Silhouettes</a> to make a cut file for my Silhouette Cameo. Once the pieces were cut from white cardstock, I mounted them onto a super thick piece of plastic and cut it out by hand. It looks so cool in real life! I then stamped the sentiment (from <a href="http://altenew.com/collections/new/products/fresh-freesia">Fresh Freesia</a>) with grey ink, and mounted everything to a peach card base.</div>

Lastly, if you didn't know, Tasnim and I just released 9 new stamp sets for Altenew! I've been posting my projects over on the<a href="http://altenewblog.com/"> Altenew Blog</a>, but figured I would re-post them here in case you haven't seen them yet :) I have been out of town and very busy (more grad school work and other projects! lol), so I sadly haven't posted all my cards using all of the sets yet. Hopefully I'll get the rest up within a week or so!<br />

Hey there! I'm so sad I missed out on the last <a href="http://runwayinspired.blogspot.com/">Runway Inspired Challenge</a>, but glad to be back in the swing of things. Check out this week's inspiration:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-jIHBFjDyju8rhI5KL74AQ77yB4QPBc82Y8SEQWCb-xK1VSP7ULsv81bQLAo9qIGOBNOpLu2T7ZSbKaRqvUfYx3giatAff-fcN_p_70rYOvZ1r0E4Y9ZCEmhmwgGAULpnT6xI1b4FmoQ/s1600/ric%252387.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="84" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1-jIHBFjDyju8rhI5KL74AQ77yB4QPBc82Y8SEQWCb-xK1VSP7ULsv81bQLAo9qIGOBNOpLu2T7ZSbKaRqvUfYx3giatAff-fcN_p_70rYOvZ1r0E4Y9ZCEmhmwgGAULpnT6xI1b4FmoQ/s320/ric%252387.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

I'm usually not a fan of overly complicated/elaborate clothing, but I think this top looks fantastic with that simple skirt. Don't you agree?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I recently found a really pretty button while cleaning my craft/sewing room, and knew it had to find it's way onto my card somehow!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I watercolored the stripes on the front of the card, then stamped the sentiment (from <a href="http://altenew.com/collections/stamps/products/birthday-greetings">Birthday Greetings</a>) on top. The apothecary jar, from Clear and Simple Stamps, was the perfect place for my special button!</div>

Please check out the fab creations from the DT, and have a happy Tuesday!</div>

Hello there! Today we have a brand new <a href="http://runwayinspired.blogspot.com/">Runway Inspired Challenge</a> with an amazing sponsor...<a href="http://www.winniewalter.com/">Winnie and Walter</a>!

This outfit is just SO "J. Crew" to me- preppy, but with some added pizzazz. I love how the sparkly dress looks peeking out from the classy coat! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Of course I wanted to incorporate this into my card. I used Winnie and Walter's <a href="http://www.winniewalter.com/collections/cutaways/products/in-a-word-hi-cutaway" target="_blank">In a Word: Hi Cutaway</a> to cut that fabulous sentiment, and used a combination of four different glitters behind it. As a nod to the trio of buttons on the coat I added three large adhesive pearls.</div>

I first stamped and embossed the <a href="http://altenew.com/collections/all/products/sketchy-flowers-rose">Sketchy Rose</a> onto black cardstock, then contemplated how I would color it in. I wanted the color to be vibrant against the black background, so I turned to acrylics. </div>

Please visit the rest of the DT, and have a great day! </div>

I was SO tempted to rock a square stamp and stamp all of those lovely colors. But sadly, I was running short on time. When I do those stampy backgrounds they can sometimes take up to 45 minutes to do, because of the time it takes to line everything up and to clean the stamp in between.</div>

To cut corners, I used a hexagon die (love shortcuts!). The sentiment is Bossy Joscie's <a href="http://joscie.bigcartel.com/product/thank-you-so-very-much-stamp-2" style="text-align: center;" target="_blank">Thank You So Very Much Stamp 2</a>. I simply stamped it in the bottom corner...I was going for understated minimalism, a la Cristina K. I love how all of her cards look like they came from a stationery boutique!</div>

One of the cool things about this set is you can change up the colors- the moon image stamped in oranges and reds becomes an awesome planet! </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used distress inks on cold press watercolor paper to make the background. I started by painting like watercolor, then sponged ink over that, and finished with some splatters of color and clean water (which reacts with the distress ink)</div>

I hope you choose to play along- this is a fun one! Plus, you can win a gift card from Ellen Hutson :)</div>

<b>** PLEASE NOTE: This is possibly the longest cosplay post I have ever done. I apologize in advance for the excessive number of photos! **</b></div>
<br />
If the costume above looks a bit familiar, it's because this year Dave and I decided to re-do one of our <i>favorite </i>costumes for this years Penny Arcade Expo (PAX East). Located in Boston, PAX East attracts gamers of all types- fans of console video games, PC games, mobile games, tabletop games and more. <br />
<br />
In 2012, we cosplayed as two characters from the Sega game Jet Set (or Grind) Radio...read more about that <b><a href="http://ourchangeofart.blogspot.com/2012/04/pax-east.html">here</a></b>. The characters were so much fun, and the costumes were bright and exciting, but a lot of things were made last minute and we have always wanted to revamp them. Well, this was the year!<br />

Our characters are Beat and Gum, members of the GGs- a gang of inline skaters who go around the city spraying graffiti (while avoiding the police and rival gangs). Oh, and the soundtrack's awesome! Here's a closer look of Gum's outfit:</div>

My character has quite the 'tude, so it was fun to portray her. Sadly, action shots were a bit difficult since my Rollerblade wheels were locked. We had an issue the first time around with security (just like in the game, lol!) and they made us take off our skates. This time, since the wheels were locked, we stomped around in them like boots. It was awkward and uncomfortable, but hey- we looked cool!<br />

Yowza, my skirt was short! (*blushes*). It's a good thing I wore matching short shorts underneath. That could have been a bad wardrobe malfunction!<br />

I couldn't find a striped knit fabric in the colors I wanted, so I made it myself. I pieced together long stripes of green and lime knit fabric, sewed them together, and then topstiched next to all of the seams. Then, I cut out my pattern pieces from it and sewed the top. I had wing it when it came to the turtleneck since the original pattern didn't have one. </div>

Ahh, the skates! I took these pics before we put the wheels back on...whooops. Basically, we spray painted our Rollerblades and sculpted the additional pieces from Model Magic clay. This stuff is lightweight and air dries overnight. To strengthen the clay pieces, we went over them with a few layers of matte finish Mod Podge.<br />

The little jet boosters on the back are made from travel-sized bottles, which were hot glued on the back. I wish we came up with a better way to adhere them- within 30 minutes they all fell off, from people at the convention bumping into them :( You may notice they aren't in any of our other photos!<br />

We knew it was a possibility that we would be forced to remove our skates (luckily we didn't have to!), so we decorated normal shoes to mimic the designs. This ended up being perfect for walking to and from the car, and to grab lunch. I wore these slip-on canvas shoes with knee-high black socks, so they kind of looked like boots.</div>

I sewed the aviator-style hat with no pattern- it was tricky! This is actually the second one I sewed, since the first one ended up being too small- I forgot to take the size of my wig into consideration. I don't like how wrinkly it is, but since the pleather is made from plastic, it melts when you iron it.</div>
