This card is for my oldest granddaughter (of three). My friend had this die and I just had to borrow it from her because I knew Callie would love a card made with her.
Playing my SCS "Challenge Catch-Up" cardmaking, I found 13 challenges that this cute little ballerina fit, as follows:
1) IC796 - Inspiration Challenge/ Freepix - 3/6/21. I found this inspiration which inspired my purple ballerina: Little Girl Ballerina.
2) MMTPT658 - Teapot Challenge/ Birthday Bingo - 3/2/21. I'm playing catchup challenge for my granddaughter's birthday card. I used the top BINGO row: Large Image, Bold Colors, Pop-Up. The BIG little girl ballerina is dressed in
a Purple Amethyst tutu and is popped up off the card front using dimensionals.
3) AOCC21 - All Occasion Card Challenge/ March 2021 - Ongoing Annually. This challenge gives choices of any card theme needed for the month encouraging you to set your own goals to complete and mail your cards timely! A birthday card needed and delivered!!
4) USEIT2021 - Use It Challenge/ March 2021 - Ongoing Annually. This challenge requires you to use old, long unused items gathering dust and/or new/old items purchased but never unpackaged/or used! I borrowed an old die set of a friends + used old stamp papers, die, and tulle in my stash.
5) FS734 - Featured Stamper Challenge/ She's a Gem aka Gem35 - 2/28/21. This is Michele's card that I chose to CASE: Blue Prom Dress. Gem's fancy dress idea reminded me that I had my friend's ballerina die to make a birthday card for my granddaughters. I kept the fancy dress, but changed most other elements of the card.
6) F4A575 - Free 4 All Challenge/ Get Your Happy On - 2/26/21. Make a card that shows what makes up happy! I'm in my happy zone while making children's cards for my family, especially my granddaughters.

9) S2S21FEB - Stamp 2 Save (aka Stamp 2 Support One Another)/ Dreams - 1/1/21. We are to make 5 cards that support the theme. Here is my third of my non-COVID Bucket List. Wouldn't It Be Lovely to Make Reservations to see a ballet...."Swan Lake" comes to mind...one of my favorite!
10) TLC822 - Technique Lovers Challenge/ Make It 3D! - 11/23/20. I popped up my ballerina image with dimensionals and tulle skirt netting.
11) ABC14G7 - Alphabet Challenge/ G = Girly - 11/18/20. My little ballerina card is definitely "girly."

What four year old wouldn't love this card. It's adorable. But even more impressive is that you managed to use it so effectively for 13 challenges. Wow for both!
