This is  probably the longest I have been away from posting a card. After almost three weeks of not being in my craft room, I was happy to get back there yesterday. I spent all day crafting…well, almost all day.. 🙂

First card I made was for the current Runway Inspired Challenge. Here is the inspiration photo:

Well, I have to comment on the bag! I think it is a pretty cool beach bag. Although I wonder who would take an expensive white bag to the beach…wouldn’t it get dirty?

Anyways, onto the card. I like frames in general. I always think of framing things in my card…although I try to resist it as much as I can…not wanting all my card to look the same. So when I saw the rim of the bag, I immediately thought of frames. Since her outfit, which I assume is a swimsuit, is kind of obscured by the bag, I tried to look closely at it. There is red and blue pattern on the bodice, which I incorporated into my card. And here it is:

I also scored the front panel to mimic the texture on the bag. The butterfly is a die cut from Memory Box
