Thank you Audrie for a great inspiration site... I ended up using this switch plate cover as my inspiration. I cut only the top part of the dress with the die and hand drew in the sides to make it longer. I made the dress but couldn't figure out what to do with it. I didn't like it just on the front of a card. So I decided to extend the pole of the dress form and make a card which would be free standing. I will cut another dress form out of white, adhere it to the inside of the card and use it for my sentiment. I cut a curvy mask, stamped my flourish over it and embossed it in white. I placed the mask back over the dress and sponged on the two greens to shade the dress like my inspiration piece. I cut another dress out of white and trimmed around the collar to adhere over the sponged front for extra detail. I also added the gems to bling it up. I hope this makes sense.
When I get the link for extending the diecut I will add it to my description.
Thank you for looking

I am always I awe of your cards, Irene. This one is no exception. This is dramatic in style and presentation. I don't think I would be able to part this glammed up dress for any amount of money. Beautiful work, my friend.
