I came across the idea for this dress in one of my rubber stamping magazines and went a bit crazy with it this year. I had at first intended that it be a card for Mother's Day but then realized that it would be appropriate for ANY mother ANY time, so made up several. They're really very easy to do, the hardest part was finding background paper that matched or at least coordinated with the color of the dress.It’s hard to see in the picture but this card is stunning in real life. The paper has glitter or shine on it somewhere and the glitter on the dress really sparkles!
Stamp: Dress Stamp from Inkadinkado, Warm Words
Paper: Once Upon A Time Mat Stack by DCWV, shimmer papers
Ink: StazOn Black
Accessories: Clear acetate sheet, Glitter adhesive, blue fine glitter, large and small oval punch, ribbon from Michael’s, dimensionals

The image is stamped on to an acetate sheet with black StazOn and glitter adhesive is applied to the BACK of the acetate and the glitter sprinkled on and the excess tapped off. The glue is allowed to dry completely and then the dress is cut out. The glitter shines through from the back and doesn’t rub off. The sentiment is stamped on the same paper as the card and matted on shimmer paper matching the dress.
I can’t tell you how brilliant this looks in person, guess you’ll have to try this and find out for yourself!
