March Card Swap

Jillian Selwood, Purple Jelly Designs, Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator

Our card swap theme for March was Girl birthday using punch art.

I found the inspiration for this card on Pinterest, many thanks to Studio Evans for the fabulous graphics on how to make the ballerina.

I used three different punches; The sweetheart punch for the bodice and tutu, The pansy punch for the tulle underskirt and the elegant butterfly punch for the ballet shoes, don't they look exactly like ballet shoes, what a genius idea.

For the inside I used the same DSP (Designer Series Paper) as the front.

This is the beautiful card I received from Sam Bretherick. It is absolutely gorgeous and I love it so much I may have to case it.

The theme for April is Football - gulp!

Thank you for stopping by this week and reading my blog, I do hope you’ve enjoyed it. Until next week.

This is the sketch we were given this month by Karen McDonald:

I have been following Michelle Zanotti’s blog this month on ‘Let’s use the Leftovers…Series’ so when I saw the five circles on the right I knew exactly which colours I wanted to use.

The retiring 2014-2016 In Colours are, from top to bottom, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow, Hello Honey, Tangelo Twist and Blackberry Bliss. I would never have thought of using them together but I think they look stunning – I hope you do too.
