Dahlia fold Dress

Gosh I'm a bad blogger, its been almost two weeks since I last posted........where did that time go........the weather here is much nicer ( we are into spring) and I have been spending time in the garden, but I have no idea where the rest of the time went.
Anyway.............I wanted to share this card with you, it's an idea I saw on the www somewhere and have been wanting to do. I started off making the dress as the card shape but changed my mind and decided to put it onto a folded card, which I wish I hadn't because I just couldn't decide how to decorate the card, so ended up with just some peeloffs.
The top of the dress I ran through the Swiss Dots embossing folder and the dress skirt is made up of tea bag folds using the dahlia fold.

  1. I have no idea how you did these folds, but it is stunning! perhaps I can find some clues by googling tea bog fold??? Or is it the dahlia fold?
