CAS-ual Fridays - CFC90 and CASology Week 31: RED

Thanks !





When in doubt, wear red.”  
William Ralph "Bill" Blass 
(June 22, 1922 – June 12, 2002) 
Bill Blass was an American fashion designer. 
He was the recipient of many fashion awards & owner of a $700-million-a-year business.

I googled the color "Red".  This quote popped up, so I ran with it.

Great timing though because my co-worker is headed off on a cruise and she is a bit anxious about what she is expected to wear to the formal occasions. I passed on Bill's advice to her!  This will be her Bon Voyage card!

I used a free clip art image that I found on-line.  I didn't have a clue how to change the image from black, so I traced it onto red card stock and paper pieced the dress. Added a bit of bling and a computer generated sentiment.  I really like how this font seems to work with the style of the dress.

So head on over to CASology and check out all the really rad red creations, both by the ever so talented DT as well as all the folks playing along with this challenge.

And how sweet is the timing on this challenge.....this weeks CAS-ual Fridays challenge is black, white plus one color of our choice.....in my case red! They have just announced their newest DT members.  WOW - that is one deep talent pool :) Curious to see who made the cut....head on over and have a peek see!

Happy crafting!
