Beautiful Blue 1950 Dress TopperCompleted by Margaret McCartney

I printed the design onto good quality photographic paper and cut it out. I scored and folded an A4 scalloped edged card. I attached the design to card using double sided tape. I assembled the decoupage using thin foam tape.

I shaped the skirt of the dress with my fingers then added foam tape to the outside edges only. I did this for each layer. This makes the skirt full. I added the butterfly using thin foam tape under one wing and a blob of silicone glue under the other wing to give some definition.
