Mon Amie Inspired

Photo Details

Poster: Maggie's Mummy

For today's inspiration challenge - a picture of a gorgeous little cocktail dress.

I tried a sort of "split negative" approach and this is what I came up with. It does look better IRL - I couldn't get a decent photo so had to scan this one. I've actually stamped the top VV c/s with VV ink, added Clear EP and heat embossed it - not too sure if this shows up all that well on the scan.

Would love to know what you think.

this has such great depth! And I can see that you embossed the VV layer. And nice take on the challenge.

Very elegant

I love the colours you chose.

I'm glad you mentioned not being able to take a good photo - I've been having that trouble all day! I'm sure my cards look better IRL than they do in the photos!
