For my card I used Bazzill CS for the base, PTI for all matting, and Papermania Blueberry Hill from the UK for all DP. I also used Ballerina Hilda from Motivet. After stitching all bottom panels for both the outside and the inside, I stamped Hilda 3 times, cutting her out in her entirety once and just the tutu on the other. I used silicone glue for the dimension. Hilda was colored with copics and the tutu is Stickles. I used a small piece of Sheet Music paper from Crafty Secrets for one panel and Allegro CB embossing folder for the other. I used tulle, reminiscent of the tutu, for the left side panel. I then added a filagree heart tied with tiny silk ribbon, a rose and bow buttons, several mulberry/tulle roses, and finally my piece de resistance, for a touch of whimsy, the cutest little hippo button in the lower right corner which also has stickles on her tutu...lolol
For the inside I added some pink trim and several ballet themed buttons to the first panel. The highlight of the jotting panel is another dancing hippo!! To complete the inside I added some MS oblong pearls to each of the corners to soften them.Thank you so much for dropping by today to see what's happening!!! I appreciate each of you so very much and hope you will come back often...I love to hear what you think of my little posts. Have a delightful and safe weekend and until next time...enjoy and DANCE LIKE NO ONE IS WATCHING!!!!!!! Hugs!!
