Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger challenge: Finesse the Dress

I looked at the trigger photo on Cath's blog on Tuesday and didn't look at it again until now.  I figured I might take it more in my own direction that way, instead of feeling like I must include every element. (I can be so "left brain" at times.) What stuck in my mind was the deep turquoise color and the swirls of gold.

This is the trigger photo:

And this is my card:

Supplies: Bazzill cardstock (Blue Calypso); Versamark ink; Papertrey Ink clear stamps (Tree Trimming Trio); gold embossing powder; Recollections brads

Made a second card:

I really like how this stamp from Hero Arts, which has a distressed look to it, looks on the textured side of the American Crafts cardstock.  I tried it on the smooth side, too, but I liked this better.
