DD8ABC4D: D is for dancer and double challenge. The double challenge was to do a watercolor wash which is what is around the dancer. I masked her off and watercolor washed River Rock for her ground and soft sky for the upper portion.
SC661: I used the sketch challenge to make this card.
MMTPT476: I'm sending this card to Linda to spread happy thoughts her way.
WT652: I used two old stamps sets that I have had for quite some time, Perfect Princess and Think Happy Thoughts. Both sets are from the 2007 vintage. I had to have Perfect Princess because I have two DDs who both took ballet and loved it. And I love Think Happy Thoughts - as well as Seeing Spots, a set that I think coordinates nicely.
I stamped the background and then decided I wanted to heat emboss it so that meant becoming friends with my stamp-a-ma-jig. Some of the images didn't get lined up perfectly but I thought that was OK anyway. The stamp-a-ma-jig was also used to stamp the flower inside the sentiment circle. The sentiment was also heat embossed.
I colored this adorable ballerina with Prismacolor pencils and framed the image with just a narrow band of black glitter paper. A ribbon down the center where the two back panels meet, the ballerina on top, and the sentiment popped up with dimensionals all placed on a neutral card base.
Thanks for looking!

This is so darling Catherine! I absolutely LOVE this delightful ballerina, and I know Linda will appreciate it too. What a happy card this is with the gorgeous, soft color palette you used with just the right pop of sparkle tape to set your image panel off with. I agree with Sabrina in that I am not at all familiar with this balleria image so it was fun to learn something new today. Congratulations on this gorgeous card winning in the Favorites category because it is so deserving! ~Karen.
