Happy Wednesday!! We're halfway to the weekend already!! It really is amazing how fast time flies. I've had this ballerina die for a while and wanted to use her, so I have a birthday card to share with you today :)
I have become completely addicted to my Zutter Distress-It-All. I can't seem to stop using it!! I am going to wear the poor little motor out :) The base paper is heavyweight cardstock from Canvas Corp. The patterned papers are from Prima's Lyric stack
The doily behind the flowers is from XCut. The flowers are a mixture of Prima and Wild Orchid Crafts. I added tulle and string behind and some white crinkle ribbon for the bow. The buttons inside the flowers are Die-Versions Buttons dies. The butterfly is another current obsession of mine. It's from Memory Box. I cut it once in black and once in the Prima paper. The corner gems are Prima Say It In Crystals.
Isn't this wooden banner awesome?? I found them at Joann...they are from Jillibean Soup. The Happy Birthday stamp is from my sweet friend Jo's new Personalize It stamp set. You can find it in her store 3 Twenty Crafts. It was stamped with Versafine Onyx ink.
I wanted to be a ballerina when I was five...I wore my pink tutu everywhere :) This gorgeous ballerina is a Marianne die. She was covered in Martha Stewart Carrera Marble Glitter, popped up with foam tape and balanced on the sentiment flag.
I am entering this in the following challenges:

My sweetest friend, I'm sure it comes as no surprise that this is my new favorite of yours! Not only because of my ballet-loving heart, but also because of the incredible beauty! The papers are gorgeous, but what I most love (aside from the ballerina!) is the flower bouquet. :o) Flowers and ballet just go hand in hand... I treasured every single flower I was ever given after a performance! The tulle is lovely, the butterfly is gorgeous, and I love that you made the ballerina so sparkly. I don't even know what else to say, but since you know me and my heart so well, I'll trust that you know just how much I adore every single millimeter of this creation. I'm so thankful I had time to flutter here early today to see this... I wish you a day as breathtakingly beautiful as this card!
Hugs and blessings,
Karen
