July Dress-Up

This is my July creation for Dress Up-2010.

It started out pink, but somehow ended up a salmony/coraly colour.  Not what I had planned but there you go. I decoupaged some really pretty napkins onto a cardstock base, using a lovely template that Jenxo kindly passed on to me. Then I stamped and embossed some white script on that.
I stamped and embossed in green the waistband and hem with a lace stamp I have and added some pearls to the waistband and sleeves. I finished it off with some of those "bubble thingies" that someone told me the name of previously and I can't remember.  The finishing touch is a salmony/coraly rose that I DID NOT make, before you all compliment me on it.  I simply added some dimensional pearls.
I have no idea who made the products I used this month and am not going to lose any sleep over it. I like my dress and once I get the hanger made, it will join the other 6 in the wardrobe. (which is getting somewhat crowded) At any rate, this is my July dress, I hope you go and check out all the

  7. Babe, you really outdid yourself on this one. Love the napkin collage effect, GORGEOUS, and that white embossing was brilliant. And since I love flowers, the rose is way cool, and well, heck, it's just awesome!
