Create a glamorous prom or special occasion card featuring a shimmering dress design. Using the Small Town Girl lamination stamp set, emboss the solid dress portion with sparkly copper powder to create a dazzling effect, whilst the outline stamp adds elegant detail to complete the gown. This eye-catching card is perfect for celebrating proms, parties or any special event.
Using a sticky ink pad, stamp the solid portion of the dress design onto white cardstock. Press firmly to ensure good coverage for the embossing powder to adhere to.

Dust the freshly stamped image with sparkly embossing powder, ensuring the powder adheres to the wet ink. Tap off any excess powder to leave a clean coating on the stamped design.

Once the embossed image has cooled completely, carefully line up the outline stamp from the same set and stamp it over the embossed solid portion using black ink. This creates a defined edge around the dress and figure.
