I Wanna Dance with Somebody!

Hi friends! Do you like to get dressed up to go out on the town? What are your favorite activities when you do go out?

When I saw the Back to Basics Party Dress Die from Keep it Simple, I had to create a pretty spring dancing dress. I cannot tell you how much fun I had creating this beautiful card.

To create my dress, I began by die-cutting the card base from heavy white card stock and set it aside. I created a beautiful background using the fun Overlapping Circles Stencil from the Bunny Season Collection. I am a huge fan of layering stencils, as they make it really easy to create beautiful backgrounds using multiple colors. I paired the stencil with some of my favorite Distress Oxide Inks: Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers and Villainous Potion.

I wanted to do some paper-piecing for my dress, so I die-cut the dress piece once from white cardstock, and I then used the same die to die-cut the skirt from the stenciled panel that I created. I used the die one more time to create the bodice, which I cut from teal cardstock.

I adhered a strip of pink card stock to the lower portion of the card base, followed by the white dress piece. I then began paper-piecing the inserts that I had die-cut in the previous step. To complete my card, I die-cut the flower from purple cardstock and adhered it to a loopy bow using my hot glue gun. I added a rhinestone to the center of the flower, because every pretty dress deserves a bit of bling!

I hope that this beautiful dancing dress brings a smile to your face! It was really so much fun to create.

Thank you so much for spending a few minutes of your day with me! Please make sure to head over to the shop and check out all the beautiful goodies.
