Tiny Dancer Card 30

I have what I hope is a fun post for you today. I am this fortnight's guest designer at The Butterfly Challenge. I was so happy when my blogging friend Mrs A, started this challenge.  I love to use butterflies on my cards and judging by how popular this challenge is, many of you do too!

The theme for challenge #9 is Monochromatic. I chose to work with a sort of salmony pink colour. From light salmon to dark, with some extra shades in between...that was my goal.

This Ballerina Birthday card is for a friend of my youngest daughter. They went to High School together and her friend  danced as a ballerina. She has just had her first baby and has taken up ballet class once again.

I think she will enjoy this Tiny Dancer. I had fun making it as I have not made this type of fold before. In fact I have not been very brave in the past and have hardly made any fancier folds!

The ballerina embellishments are K&Co 3Dimensional stickers and they have lovely sparkly lines. These were all left over from a scrapbook page I made for little Miss C, when she was in ballet class.

Hope you will check out Mrs A and The Butterfly Challenge. It is a fun challenge with a friendly bunch of crafters taking part. You will feel welcome, I know! The challenge starts on June 18th and runs for two weeks.
