This is my take on the 4th challenge: a grey dress. This dress had almost no colour variety in it, but was very shaped and textured...you could almost feel the beautiful fabric. And that's what I was going for with this card.
This card is very much outside my "comfort" zone...but it did stretch me in a good way.
I took the cuttlebugged black paper, sponged it with white. And I added some bling with irridescent ice. And the taffeta ribbon reminds me of the gathering of the dress. I can hardly believe how colourful the card appears, even though I really only used black, grey and white!

Very pretty! The texture makes this card!

Nice work. If I get around to it, the grey dress is the inspiration I'll use, too. I love the grey/black/silver look. You've done a fantastic job with the textures.
