Is it "all white?"

I've been looking through my collection of punches and die cutters again to see if I could use any of them in ways I haven't tried yet. If you look HERE you'll find some other ideas which I tried before and made simple tutorials of. I have some more ideas ready to add and will do this soon if you want to keep an eye on the page.
Anyhow, back to this card.... I made the wedding dress using Nestabilities Scallop circles, Martha Stewart doily border punch and a little light embossing. I'll add the tutorial for this one later too!
I've added lines of glitter to define the edges and I quite like how it has turned out. However I think it might also suit a tiny pink rosebud in place of the white bow.

It fits in with the following challenges....

Less is More.    White on White 
Papertake Weekly ...Fancy a punch?
My Time to Craft ..Scallops
Woodware USA.  Wedding/ Anniversary


I've been drawing again and here is a sneak peak of what's coming soon ..some "male" images and some butterflies etc.

UPDATE... some of my new drawings have just been added HERE as digi images

 UPDATE...I have added the tutorial of the dress to my page HERE

    Love your punch tutorials. My punches do get used but usually for stencils or foam stamp shapes, will be looking at them in another light now.
    Thanks
