Just her name was enough to define a pair of shoes, a hat, a pocketbook, a suit, perfume, jewelry--an entire look. It conveyed prestige, quality, impeccable taste and unmistakable style.
Chanel
Gabrielle �Coco� Chanel
Her name was a symbol of excellence and continues to inspire the world of fashion today and even tonight as we begin our VSN Fashion Show! The Chanel logo, interconnected C�s, whether black or white, signifies Chanel�s split from ostentatious to chic and cutting-edge. Let�s celebrate the split and use the Chanel logo for our inspiration. Your challenge is to create: a SPLIT NEGATIVE card.
A split negative card calls for stamping two impressions of the same image in contrasting colors on dark and light colors of cardstock and then splitting (or cutting) the cards in half and putting the opposites together to form a new image. You end up with two complete, but slightly different images. Use one image to make your card for this challenge.
Lori Craig provides an excellent SCS tutorial: Split Negative
You may create a black-and-white themed card, but that is not a requirement. Use any combination you wish and you may also decide that you can create the same effect without heat embossing�you decide�this is your chance to show your style.
As Coco said, �Fashion fades, only style remains the same.�
*** ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY MIDNIGHT, SATURDAY, MARCH 15th ***
Uploading Instructions:
*Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. If you are using additional keywords, you must separate them with a comma. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
*It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in the chat thread, in case the gallery is being testy.

Well, there goes the cork! The champagne glasses are being filled as we speak. A toast to the Fashionistas and the VSN Fashion Show Mini Challenge. Remember, there is no time limit on tonight's challenges and you have until next Saturday to upload. I'm here if you need me. Don't forget to post a link to your design in this chat thread.
Oh excuse me for just one minute, BRB!
Domenico and Stefano just brought me a flute and I must speak to Valentino about this dress!
Scusi, Val, Ciao, Amico! Un momento prego!

D & E:
I'm so busy taking compliments on the dress, would one of you mind linking my gallery for me? I'm afraid the champagne has just gone straight to my head.

Way to go girlfriend. You are up and running. Wouldn't you know the phone rang right at 7 so I couldn't be here with you. My dumb luck.
Yeah, my HUSBAND, who knows much better, called as I was posting my challenge to tell me that he arrived in Dallas ok. Doesn't he know better? I mean, I love him, but come on... a girl has to prioritize!
It's not fair!! (stomps feet). I'm all dressed up and no where to go. My computer seems to be broken and I can't share my fashionable creations tonight. Guess I'll go work on the computer and see if I can figure out what those pesky kids have done...BBL

I think it's either SCS or the network tonight, I'm having similar problems.
