If you don’t have a scanner, you could also snap a close-up photograph of the dress fabric with your digital camera. It wouldn’t even matter if it was a teeny bit out of focus. If you’re feeling particularly ambitious, you could even run an artsy photoshop filter on it, if you happen to have that program.

Wonderful idea, really creative.

Glad you enjoyed the article Tami. And I agree that it’s not something you would want to do all the time. But it’s a cool idea for special layouts.

Hi, there. Thanks so much for the article. I’m a little lazy and it would require going to the “other” computer and scanning and then bringing over to my notebook, but in certain cases, like your example, it would be the perfect touch. Thanks.

This is gorgeous. I actually scanned my dd’s favourite dress and used as a background in an SC article I did. Can’t remember which issue, but it was called colour v’s black and white..quite a while ago now.

Love that you are writing tutorials here..
