Lizzie Anne Ballerina



This card is for the Monday Sketch Challenge over on Lizzie Anne Designs. When I was younger, I took ballet for 9 years - so I love little ballerina images. This one definitely reminds me of the itchy costumes, tied up pointe shoes and the tight buns. I colored her in with Prismacolor pencils and OMS. I then paper pieced her costume and shoes on. The tutu and sleeves are raised with dimensionals and covered in Bubble Gum Shimmerz because sparkly always look good under the stage lights :) I decorated the corner with a Victorian Photo punch by EK Success. I love the small size of it. Paper and brads are Basic Grey Bittersweet. Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to smile and do a few twirls today!
