Ballerina Anya - 3 Challenge Combo

Okay - this week my Greeting Farm stamps arrived - thank you Summer!! your service is outstanding!! Woo hoo... I love this cute Ballerina girl. It was a pleasure to colour with my Distress inks.




I succeeded to make a 3 challenge combo with this card - Stamp Something : Their challenge is to make something that has either showers or flowers or both! Then Our Creative Corner : they left us to chooseto make a project with our favourite colour combo .. and lately it is green and pink:) (even though this is more salmon like kindof colour) and I also used Basic Grey's Sketch for this week (I only cheated a teent weeny bit by turning the image a bit sideways)sorry!
Ain't I a good girl?! :)

I LOVE the softness of this card, and how much it shines. The stickles on the flower, the shiny satin salmon ribbon, the pearls on the pin and the glitter pens that I used on certain areas of the image has created such a lovely effect :)

I used my mini sewing machine to go around the image and the panels of DP behind it.. but not all of them turned out that straight :) I'm a night owl when it comes to cardmaking, so I'm not always in a position to "see straight" lol!




The flowers I used are a mixture of prima, and a silver flower (in the middle) I had purchased form a shop that sells wedding garments accessories. The brad and the buttons are Basic Grey. In the bottom right hand side of the card I used a K&Co corner, and the sentiment is a rub on. I couldn't fit one in the corner, as the sketch shows.





For the inside I punched a Fiskars heart border, and used the same Dp. I don't know the name of these papers, I'm sorry!
