Yes... the other dress :)

Here is the dress I made on my Iris Folding binge the other night.....

I challenged myself to use a backing paper I wouldnt normally use - Although this looks like a reddy orange colour - to me in real light it looks brown.

So off I went with the new territaory - I think I am doing well in going out of my comfort zone, I love cute - and brown aint cute.... well to me anyway ;)

Again I use Dee's gown template but silly me added the backing paper to the wrong side so it is headed in the opposite direction. No big problem though... I used yellow (gold) paper ribbon and actually folded it this time. I could just imagine how bright this would be at a gala or red carpet premiere.

As for sentiment - I have no idea so I left it as one of those cards without one and can be used for whatever takes fancy at the time. Added yellow dots to spread the yellow out a bit more and balance it. Still was uncertain as to whether it needed something else as the middle looked plain but decided against it. I guess I could go on and on and on.

Thanks to all who commented on my bedroom card - I have an idea in mind thanks to Mada's suggestion and will show the finished card soon.

Might not be around for a couple of days as I am going to stay with a friend and I am not sure whether I will take stuff to do or maybe have something done tonight. Shall be back Saturday night if plans stay the same.

Have a fabulous day and thankyou for visiting :)

"brown aint cute" - I dunno about that, but paired with that dress - it sure is sophisticated!

You are very good at Iris folding; I've thinking of trying it at least once but its kind of out of my comfort zone.
