Pretty Party Dress – A Tuesday Trigger Challenge

Ya know how I love Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger! It's that time again! This week the trigger photo is of a pretty cotton sundress for a little girl. It just happened to be with my favorite colors (aqua, lavender and green) and plaid! I'm mad about plaid! An idea came to me pretty quickly. Here is the trigger image first:

 
What came to my mind was a pretty preppy Spring party dress for a soiree out on the lawn…Close your eyes…can you imagine the twinkling white lights and the champagne? And the lanterns hanging from the trees and the jazzy ensemble… Oh yeah, wait, come on back to me. Come back! I said COME BACK! Whew.

Okay, so here is my card-

Behind the scenes of making the plaid skirt for the dress…Giant stamp from Hero Arts. Three favorite colors of Versamagic ink. I only used a tiny bit of green and then criss crossed the other two colors.

Then I stamped the dress in black onto my plaid 'fabric' and cut it out. I stamped the dress again on my main paper and colored the bodice with my Copics – three shades. 

 
When I attached the skirt part I put the upper part on with mono-adhesive and the lower part with double sided foam tape to look like the skirt had some movement. The argyle pattern is stamped on the lavender card stock with versamark ink (Judikins stamp). I glued on a pretty pink flower corsage and a polka dot bow…There ya have it!

This would be a nice card for a special gal pal or even a bridal shower. So feminine and sweet!

Here's what's going on out in the front yard with my babies…my giant Nikko Blue Hydrangeas…I can't wait for their giant periwinkle pom poms to come out to see me! Here is a good start. Nature at it's finest, don't ya think?
