I've been asked to make some wedding cards and today's Inspiration challenge using prom dresses as the inspiration was a great way to start. This card uses the inspiration of this dress:
I was inspired by the color and the lovely swirls in the bodice. I wasn't completely sure about this set when I bought it, but I love how this came out. I just wish my better creative ideas didn't come between 11 PM and 2 AM! Lot of gold embossing on this and a touch of markers and glitter. The roses on the bottoms of the card are there to cover a small mark on the card stock. That led to more roses along the oval to balance them out. My DH always says my best work comes out of my mistakes. I think he must be right!
