Ballerina Birthday Card!

My amazing, wonderful niece Vanessa is turning 4 years old and nothing was more appropriate than a Ballerina card. She is currently enrolled in ballet classes and is constantly showing off her new moves! I know she will love this card!


Supplies:
Cricut Lite "Twinkle Toes" cartridge
Cricut "Christmas Cards"cartridge
Ranger Stickles in Pink
i-Rock and crystals
Kraft, brown, white, baby pink, medium and dark pink cardstrock
Chalk Ink
Martha Stewart Glitter in Tourmaline
Xyron
Elmers Braided Cord
Scrappy Mom Stamps "Simple Sentiments"

I don't know about you guys, but I love picking up random crafting supplies at Wal-mart.  One of my favourite suppliers there is Elmers, they have great crafty stuff!  Go and check out the craft aisle.  I've picked up some things as sticky jewels, braided cord, gemstones, banner paper...and lots more. The prices are great too!

I glittered the little ballerina's leotard for some dazzle and pizzaz :)  If you are looking for a helpful quick video on using your Xyron to glitter, Alma of Alma's Pink Life has an awesome tutorial. Here's the link:

I cut the little girl at 3 and the frame for the sentiment is as follows: white cardstock at 1 1/4 and pink cardstock at 1 1/2.

    Giselle, to attached the tulle I used my hot glue gun. i also had to put a piece of terrifically tacky tape in the front of the dress because the tulle was too puffy!
