Ballerina Birthday

Welcome

I have had this gorgeous All Dressed Up image coloured and ready to go on my desk for ages, and decided to use it on this card for a two year old.


I cut the image with a S/B Labels 11, embossed it,  then coloured the debossed line with a prismacolor pencil - fussy, but it was worth it, I feel.


I cannot recall which pencils I used to colour the image. I added clear Kindy Glitz to the top of the skirt and the bow.


I mounted the image panel over some old DP - from the Prima Fairy Flora pad, one of my original patterned paper pad purchases.  I split where I placed the sentiment, with three 'happy's across the top of the card,


and the 'birthday' at the base.  The stamps are a clear set that I received in Blog Candy from the lovely Barb, but they had no brand name on them. 
A few (carefully placed) random sequins finished the card after mounting the image over the layer of lace.

Such a very pretty fairy Maxine and a delightfully girly card.

It's lovely to see you at Penny Black and More but I following your link above looks like this might be a digi image which would make your card ineligible fr the prize draws, if I am wrong please do let me know.

Maxine, This image is so delicate and sweet. You are amazing to be able to turn out such varied and lovely art. The lace over that wonderful background is as lovely as your gold embossing. Blessings Carole
