Cheerful Monday #7 - Ballett Shoes

These are wonderful ballett shoes and take me right back to the time when my daughter did ballett in her free time ... ballett with all its glamour but also the pain especially for dancing on points ... oh dear, I am getting all nostalgic now (sigh) ... let's go quickly back to this adorable image from A Day for Daisies

 a little 10x10cm card base layered with Craftwork Cards patterend paper

the image is coloured with Copics, the background created using digital papers,
and layered on black card

the ballett dancer is die-cut from EchoPark paper using a Marianne Design Die

lace from Imagine DIY, little pearls and a pearl heart

the shoes, leaves and rose were cut out and added to the main image as second layer 

given the image a little bit more depth

Cheerful Monday #6 - Let's Dance

Vicki's new challenge for the coming two weeks is: Let's Dance - what a cheerful and enjoyable theme during these very wet and dull days ....

  

The focal point is an image from A Day for Daisies which I coloured with Copics and distress inks (Victorian Velvet, Antique Linen, Bundled Sage, Old Paper). Aren't these little girls just darling?

The image is layered on card which I inked with distress inks around the edges.

For the background I used Kaisercraft paper which I stamped on with Hero Arts stamps.

The flowers are coloured with Copics and distress inks (Victoian V elvet, Fired Brick).

The finishing touches are some ribbons, a wooden heart with a little bit of Stickles and some pearls.

Hope you can join us for this wonderful challenge. 

For more inspiration just pop over to the Cheerful Stamp Pad, Petra.
