Inspired by a Song Challenge

Hi Smithies!

The September Stampsmith Challenge is up and running.  The theme this month is:

INSPIRED BY A SONG

I was inspired by the song, Tiny Dancer by Elton John.  I used the Stampsmith Stamp-Ballerina #1 for my card.   I stamped the image on glossy white CS with a gray pigment ink.

You can see more pics and info on my blog here.  Pull out your Stampsmith stamps and make a project to link up.  Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Centre Stage

The Ballerina is available as a single um and if you look at the link you will notice that I cut away the background to leave me with the actual ballerina.
A tip is to use silicone glue as it creates dimension and a sense of movement which you cannot achieve with regular glue or foam pads.
On my Blog Adorn there are further details as to how I made this card.

Prima Ballerina

For this piece I was aiming to encapsulate femininity and the romance of the life of a Ballerina. I cut around the actual Ballerina image to stage her against all the elements - scraps of organza, sheet music and tulle along with a paper rose and gems.
