The latest Runway Inspired Challenge (ric#65) is here!
Here is the inspiration look, from Louis Vuitton Resort 2015:
I was inspired by the lace blouse, and the colors. I embossed in white on cream cardstock. I cut a doily out of Night of Navy cardstock, then cut a rectangle tag out of the doily to make the layer behind the sentiment. I did debate adding crystals or enamel dots, but thought it was better left unembellished.
I can’t think of Louis Vuitton without thinking of the movie “Leap Year” – Anna (Amy Adams) had a Louis Vuitton suitcase, and Declan (Matthew Goode) called it “Louis”. I can’t find my favorite clip about the suitcase, but this one will do just fine.

The inspiration and the card are truly a pair. Lovely. I was able to see the clip. I LOVE Amy Adams. Thanks for the smile.

Thanks, Terry! My favorite line from the movie is, “t’row it in the wash, it’ll be grand!” (about shoes in manure, then about Louis on the roof of the car)
