High Fashion - Color Throwdown #264

~

Happy Hump Day, everyone!  It's my turn to host this week's Color Throwdown challenge! 

When I first saw this pretty fashion ensemble, I immediately loved the color combo and knew I would use it for one of our challenges.  Now let me be clear, I could NEVER wear those beautiful shoes, but I would really love to have the rest of the outfit!

I paper pieced my Strapless Doll's dress with some paper from the Fancy Pants Trend Setter paper pad and colored her with my Copic markers.  Her crown is filled in with silver Stickles.

I used my Mini Chevron stencil and some Versamark ink to create the pattern on the coral layer, and embossed it with clear powder.  I used some SU Night of Navy ink to splatter on it and stamped the sentiment from the Quite Like You stamp set in Archival jet black ink.  My Doll and her dress and bow are all popped up on foam mounting tape.

My layout is from this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #195:

Broni- she is fabulous!! The clear embossed chevrons are the perfect touch and makes her shine!! Ha.... I could walk in those shoes... just before my trip to the emergency department with a broken ankle :)

Love the chevrons repeated on both the dress and the background. Very clever, very classy!
