I needed a break from sewing my DD's pointe shoes, so I stole a peek at today's sketch challenge.
Did you know that pointe shoes come unassembled? ACK!! I had no idea! The ribbon isn't even cut---I had to cut it into fourths and then sew them on the shoes. Same with the elastic. Who knew? And talk about stressful? There is only the one ribbon so I was paranoid I'd cut it wrong! And I was afraid I'd sew something wrong and that would be bad. Very bad. These shoes are not cheap! Stress.
So I took a stamping break. I feel better already.
When I was uploading though I realized the ballet theme carried over to my card. DD will be pleased
I swiped the kraft panel with my white and pink craft ink pads (DTP) and then diagonally embossed with the brick EF.
TFL!

Oh my, maybe it's the big, beautiful bow, or maybe it's the soft, baby pink color, or maybe it's the distressed center panel, but whatever it is, I absolutely LOVE this card. That dewdrop looks real, the brick embossed mat adds depth and texture, not to mention the white and pink ink swipes. This is a stunning card, Cary. TFS!
