Tuesday Trigger - Finesse the Dress

Hello, friends!  Just stopping by with a card I made for the current Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger: Finesse the Dress challenge using this lovely inspiration photo:


I was inspired to make a rather literal translation of this picture as the details on the dress reminded me of the Hero Arts Classic Fabric Design stamp, and the eyelet top brought to mind my Martha Stewart doily lace edge  punch.  Here is what I came up with:


Here is a different view of the card that highlights the shiny texture of the silver embossing powder...



Funny, I have been following the Moxie Fab World blog (hosted by Cath Edvalson) for a long time but I have never participated in any Tuesday Trigger challenges -- until now.  I'm a bit nervous, playing in the big leagues today! 

Thanks for taking the time to stop by...have a great day!

  3. Beautiful, Judy! Love the silver embossing and this blue is stunning. It's totally perfect.
    And FYI-I think you are quite talented enough to be playing in the "big leagues" as you put it!

  13. Wow this is drop dead gorgeous Judy! I love the colours of this trigger but the way you interupted this card challenge is oustanding. The detail to the embossing is over the top and you deserve to win! Wow! Thinking of you and wondering if you got your package yet. I sent your package long before I sent my package to Karen my Swap Pal at HA Flicker and she got her stuff today. I hope it isn't lost. Let me know okay sweetie when you get it. Sorry I haven't been commenting so much as I should but life is crazy. Gonna try and do better. Hugs.
