All Dressed Up! and so much more!

Monday, March 4, 2013
As I was preparing for the March Stamp A Stack classes I ended up with several of these Negative pieces after cutting out the dress forms.  I have seen so many cute ideas using these that I thought I would give it a try too.  It was fun playing dress-up with my dress forms.  
The Specialty Paper that I cut the dress forms from is called ...

Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper  
It comes in a variety of pre-embossed patterns and it gives the card a look of wall paper or something similar.  The dresses were cut from the 
Price: $24.95 Dress Up Framelits Dies
Then I played with a variety of embellishments to "doll up" the dresses...ribbon, pearls, rhinestones, flowerettes, etc, pretty much anything that fit my fancy.
