~ MWL Scrap Dare #2 ~

My favourite MWL has issued a new scrap dare #2. Use fashion as your spring board for your 12" x 12" layout. You can be inspired by details on Fashion Apparels (ie: buttons, ribbons, lace, etc) AND/OR Fashion Trends (ie: Pleats, color block, Ruffles, Polka dots, etc) Layout has to be 12" x 12" (no digitals please).

Here's my take on it. Lace seems to be here to stay, I see people with lace tops, skirts and even shoes with lace design! So lace it is! Using Prima papers, Pastiche collection, "Heartstrings". I found the background too plain for my liking and used Tattered Angel's glimmer mist in Olive, Graphite and Moonlight for the background. Thanks to Jasmine for the Glimmer Class, I got a new background!

Used stickles to accentuate the beautiful motif on the papers as the glimmer mist has dulled it or rather cover most of it.

My glimmer-ed background. Love the lace effect!

Butterflies! Love the cut-out. Cutting is therapeutic you know?

Lined the cut-out with black paper to emphasize. Pardon the crooked lines. It's the first time I'm using the craft knife :)

So here's my take. What's yours? Join me for the challenge!
