A Little Ballerina

Hi girls. Thank you for calling in again. I had a very quiet day yesterday with William as we celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary. We had some wonderful gifts from family and extended family but they all respected our wish that there were to be no surprise dinners or parties because I just don't have the energy for that type of thing yet. Thanks to everyone for the comments and emails I received wishing us a Happy Anniversary. Everyone of them was a cherished surprise.
I made this card using Magnolia's "Ballerina Tilda" from the Fairytale set and for a change I coloured her using my Polychromos Pencils. I actually had an accident with the Sansador oil and knocked the bottle over the completed image. Fortunately it all dried out without spoiling it. The paper is My Mind's Eye - Lush and Luxurious basics. I used cream Bazzil as a mounting card. The flowers and bits and bobs are all from my stash.
I hope you like this card enough to leave a comment for me. I love your comments - they really encourage me. Thank you for taking time to visit. Enjoy your crafting and stay safe.
Hugs,

  7. Gorgeous card Fiona, beautiful colours and sweet image. Congratulations on your ruby wedding anniversary to you both.
    A tip for sansador, I have a plastic pot that actually held some doodlebug flowers but its the size of round make up sponge. I let the sansador soak into the sponge and use that for my paper stumps and the plastic pot has a lid so it doesn't dry out. I just knew if I didn't do this I would do exactly what you've done.
    luv

  18. Hi Fiona, another gorgeous card. I've just been checking out your cards as I've been away since Friday. Would you believe I've been down at Crieff. We've had 4 lovely days babysitting Poppy and Oliver. And the weather has been fantastic, so warm.

    Belated congrats on your Ruby Wedding Anniversary. Glad you had a lovely quiet day together.
