I wanted to create an AWS Dashboard using cloudformation but did find a way. Guess AWS has not yet added support for that.
As an alternative is it possible to create that using AWS CLI

To create a dashboard from the consoleOpen the CloudWatch console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/ . In the navigation pane, choose Dashboards, and then choose Create dashboard. In the Create new dashboard dialog box, enter a name for the dashboard, and then choose Create dashboard.
The following steps are needed to create a CloudWatch dashboard with a custom resource. Create a CloudFormation template and add a Lambda-backed custom resource. Write the code creating, updating, and deleting a CloudWatch dashboard. Generate the JSON code describing the customized dashboard.
Deploying the Stack with AWS CLI and CloudFormation After running the command, navigate to the AWS Console then go to Services → CloudFormation. You should then see the deployment running. After a few minutes, you should then see it enter the CREATE_COMPLETE state. If so, it's complete!
To create a stack you run the aws cloudformation create-stack command. You must provide the stack name, the location of a valid template, and any input parameters. Parameters are separated with a space and the key names are case sensitive.
AWS just announced support for this.

CloudFormation documentation is also available: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-cw-dashboard.html
