Tiny Music Box Dancer

*This is the second post for today so if you are looking for info about the new challenge at A Day For Daisies, please scroll down.*

The new releases from A Day For Daisies this week are all ballerinas and they are gorgeous! I used "jewelry box ballerina" for my card. I couldn't get Frank Mills' Music Box Dancer (listen here) out of my head so that's what I decided to call her.

I colored the image with copics. The ballet slippers got a layer of Liquid Pearls in petal pink. To give her tutu dimension, I layered vellum beneath. I used Bazzill cardstock in Tutu Pink to create 5" x 7" card but cut an additional 3" off the card front to add the pleated vellum skirting. Of course I couldn't imagine making a ballerina card without pink ribbon ;) so I finished it off with two big satin bows.

I made an easel card using a Bazzill A7 card, Bazzill cardstock (card top half - tutu pink) and the adorable ballerina-printed paper is by Stemma, "ballerinas (style #171484)". I created the tutu on the bottom half of the card by pleating white vellum (using my Scor It) and then layering lavender vellum over top. I used an MS scallop edge punch on the lavender vellum also. The rosettes are by Offray (so is the pink satin ribbon). The sentiment is by Cloud 9 Designs, clear epoxy quote stickers. MS rhinestones hold the top half of the card in place.
