Twinkle Toes


Dance, like no one is watching.....at least you hope no one is!   Brings to mind a ballroom dance class that my husband and I took a couple of years back.   That teacher ragged on my hubby something fierce....I could never get him to sign up again. (lol)  Somehow, good dancers make it all look so easy, but the rest of us know that it isn't!

My card today uses a Karen's Doodles image...called Tango.  It is coloured with Prismacoloor pencils and OMS, then cut out and adhered to a nestie die cut.  I've used my new Edgeabilities die along the bottom of the card for the first time, and another first.....I made my own flowers with the mini rolled roses die.  I'm not too sure what I think of the result, but I think I need more practice.  I've added some stickles and pearls to the centres for a bit more interest.

Hope you too can get a bit of crafting in today.   Our day here is a bit gloomy....looks like snow, but thankfully it's not that cold out....just another fall day.

  4. What a fabulous card. You colored it perfectly and you are a great cutter (I can't cut out good-darn!). Your papers are great and I love that you sponged the edges of the border punch. Very classy. My husband promises he will take dancing lessons when he retires. In his next breathe he states he is not going to retire. LOL.
