Ballet Slippers Birthday Card

 My daughter-in-law’s birthday is today and to celebrate I created a card using Stamperia’s Passion paper and Collectibles, Deep Red’s Ballet Slippers and a Unity Die Cut set, Chic Script Salutations. I just love beautiful patterned paper and I always challenge myself to create a matching stamped image.

For this card I used die cut 2 papers to layer. I stamped and watercolored and th3n penciled over the ballet slipper image. I fussy cut it and added gold metallic pen. I also fussy cut some flowers and fussy cut a ballet outfit for inside and outside the card. I used 2 different ribbons and a white/gold twine on the card. And I added crystals and a gold metal embellishment.

I used a different patterned paper which happened to have gold trim on it to highlight the sentiment. I also used the Stamperia paper and another scrap paper to die cut the sentiment. To back the sentiment pieces, I also die cut the sentiment in gold paper.

Think this one turned out pretty and pays homage to her childhood love of ballet classes. Hope she enjoys it! That’s it for today…now onto a party! Take care and happy crafting!
