The wedding dress

This Saturday my husband and daughter are in my sister in laws wedding. I made this card following a template but cannot remember where I got it. Its the size of a normal card so its actually pretty easy to draw free hand and then just cut out, the bottom of the dress is the whole width of the card. You have to make sure you leave the sleeves wide enough so the 2 pieces are attached with the fold at the top, then I just added a ribbon that matches the color of the bridesmaid dresses. This will almost look like my daughters dress since she is the miniature bride. I'm going to use this for the wedding challenge's at S2G, and Secret Crafter and the embossing challenge's Cardvaark's, and Speedy's Cat. I also think it works for the pretty as a princess challenge at Paper Sundaes. I used a Sizzix texture plate called Tween Vines, Stampin up scallop trim border punch, some misc ribbon and pearls, very easy and pretty!!!
