Magnolia Card - Ballerina (Dance is my Sport)

Hey there crafters,hope everyones havin' a good weekend, we've just got out sofas last night after living without any for over a year! Wow what a difference?!! It actually looks like a new room & feels like a proper home at last, so I'm on a big high at the mo & keep just going over sitting on them! Yeah I really need a life! haha.

Anyhow I have another Magnolia card here that I've made for the TOMIC challenge which is a lovely sketch & sporty theme. As a Dancer & Dance Teacher I'm always coming across the phrase 'Dance is my Sport' so thought it would be perfect for this challenge & think I'll put it as a sentiment on the inside...

...I've used Prima Jack & Jill papers in this beautiful soft aqua colour, here's a closer look...

...I think the kraft cardstock really goes with the swiss dots on the papers. Edges have been inked with Walnut Satin & distressed with craft knife...


...She has been coloured for a change with Copics instead of my usual Distress Inks, when I first bought my Copics after getting onto several design teams & having to work with digital images I stamped a load of Tildas & thought I really should put some of them to use. But when I do try them I never like the results as much as my DI's, but actually quite pleased with this one as I've managed to sitll create a soft pastel effect...


I've used my new seam binding to create a shabby bow, then added some Stickles for a little sparkle! The center is a handmade glass pebble which I'm really lovin' at the mo!...


...All flowers are from Wild Orchis Crafts & have been distressed with white paint & then glittered with Stickles glitter glue. Notice the Tim Holtz grunge board swirls that I've painted with white acrylic, added Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass & Weathered Wood, then finished with clear Crackle Paint...

The cute littlte cage is my new Tim Holtz die Mini Bird & Cage which is actually a Sizzix Movers & Shapers die so you need a respective cutting plate - I allready had a large card die that it is compatible with. I've cut it from grunge paper, painted with white acrylic, then finished with Glossy Accents & white glitter...


...Butterflys are a Martha Stewart Classic Butterfly & Classic Butterfly 3 in 1 punches cut from white Bazzil cardstock I've then glittered & inked the edges with Walnut Satin, the pearl swirl is by Prima...
