Ballerina

Hello everyone in blog land!

I did say in my earlier blogs that I had a lot to make for October.  its a busy birthday month, with my Brother, Nan, Niece, Son and best friends daughter's birthdays all within two weeks! phew... i have however made them all!

I'm sharing with you the cards made for my Niece and Hannah (who is my best buddies beautiful daughter)  these were both made using a gorgeous freebie I found on http://alldressedupchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/  they have some other stunning images on digi - I may have to treat myself on payday!.

the first one I want to enter into

Passion 4 promarkers - things that begin with P.  I used, patterned paper, pearls, pink and promarkers
Bearly mine - sketch
Avenue create 613 - choose your own challenge I used, image, sentiment, sketch (see above), Die cut, paper punch, stickles, pearls, button, ribbon and twine
cards galore - flowers
Allsorts - Ribbons and bows
Joanna Sheen - buttons (a flower shaped button on top of the bow)
Flutterby Wednesday - NO Orange or black but with a butterfly
Creative inspirations - Anything goes

I used the Digi image and re-sized, and printed it along with a pink backing paper on craft artist as well as a sentiment.  i then used a backing paper (I brought it from the Range but I cant remember the name of it...)  I then coloured in the Digi image using my trust promarkers - colours used were
Hair - ivory, vanilla, tan, caramel and shale
skin - almond, blush, sunkissed pink
dress - pale blossom, blossom, pink sorbet, rose pink, cool grey 3 and 4
i then paper punched  the butterflies and glittered them, it was then assembled using a cream ribbon (also coloured with blossom promarker), tied a bow with it and the twine, die cut the tag (a freebie from a card magazine i brought today - woo hoo!)  on top of this bow i stuck a flower shaped button, and a pearl on top of that.  finished with some well placed pearls and flowers.

The next card was the same image, but this time assembled for a simple look on craft artist.  It was then printed out and coloured with the same promarkers as above.

I want to enter this one into

All very pink a girly today!

Happy birthday Camille and Hannah!!
