Sweet Dixie .. It's not just a Wedding Dress !! by Tracey Fairgrieve

Today I share a DL Wedding card using Sweet Dixie Wedding Dress stamps from Sue Dix Newly released Wedding Collection and sentiments taken from Sweet Dixie Wedding Bells with Love from Personal Impressions.
 
 
This Wedding Dress stamp is so versatile, using different colours
really transforms its elegance into a dress for other occasions.
A Bridesmaid, Evening, Prom or a dress for all those little Princesses out there
i'm sure we all have occasions where this image would be most desirable.
 
 
By using just two colours from the same colour family you can create depth and shade. 
A blender or white pen can take away colour or add elements of light to your piece.
 
 
 
 
Working from *Bottom* to top, the dress is layered up by cutting away a tier 
of the dress each layer, cutting into the design to give lift and dimension. 
Even the length of this dress could be altered, another idea of it's usability.
 
 
Here the flower has been coloured and cut multiple times, adding both
wink of stella clear and Ranger Gold stickles glue for a little sparkly magic. 
 
 
By shaping and adhering to card with foam pads and surrounding the dress with an
Old Gold Centura Pearl frame it really does make the dress pop out.
 
Thank you for taking a peek at another of my creations using 
Sue Dix Wedding Collection stamps. 
I look forward to sharing another with you all very soon.
