Dahlia Fold Dress
The technique this month at Technique Time Tuesday is to use the Dahlia Fold. I wasn't very pleased with my first effort so I thought I'd have another go. I've been thinking about this for the last week but as I've been staying in Southampton, this is the first chance I've had to try it. I've used three of the "petals" punched from vellum scraps to make a skirt and the bodice is the Large Tab punch by Stampin Up (it's punched from dark purple card but looks black in the picture) A scrap of ribbon for the belt with a couple of gems added. The backing paper is glittered and is from the Fizzy Moon Celebrations paper pack and the sentiment is from the Stampin Up set For My Family. As I've used scraps of vellum for the skirt, I;m entering this into Pixies Crafty Snippets Playground

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely loving this sweet card. Is the dress skirt made from 3 scalloped circles of vellum? I have never seen the dahlia fold before...this is so lovely! Think I have to give this a try!
