Happy Birthday Ballerina!

So, I made a different version of this card yesterday but didn't like it. I kept the ballerina that I cut from Shall We Dance and changed the rest. I'm happy with the new outcome! Tomorrow is Juliette's 12th birthday! Time does fly! I cut the dancer out at size 4 and then the shoes, lips, eyelashes were too tiny, they kept ripping so I decided to color them in with watercolor pencils instead. Juliette loves ballet, it is her passion, and now that she's getting more serious, we have to buy lots of pointe shoes. They are pricey! She got two new pair last week and they are the bulk of her birthday present. I found this pointe shoe button in a kit at Michael's a few years ago. I forgot I had it and was lucky to find it. I used Forever Young to cut the flower and also for the background of the stamped sentiment which is Susan Branch. I used a lot of pearl stick ons and some stickles on the tutu. I think she will like it! I'm not letting her peek at the blog til tomorrow. :) Maria

Birthday Sundaes #8- recipe- 3 different embellishments, 2 designer papers, birthday wording (I used pearls, a button, and stickles, background paper and paper on the flower are different patterns)
