Tiny Dancers

Hello and happy Thursday!  Today I am on the Butterfly Reflections Ink, blog reminiscing about my childhood days spent in tap, jazz and ballet.  Oh, yes, the words of "The Good Ship Lollipop" are stuck in my head.  
F-O-R-E-V-E-R!  When I first saw the new Room Builder Slimline Series die from Trinity Stamps I envisioned making a dance studio from that wooden floor.  I love being able to combine products from different companies, like the Tiny Dancers stamp set from Sunny Studios to help achieve the look I was hoping for.

Card details: 

This slimline line card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2". Slimline cards are designed to fit inside a regular #10 business sized envelope and require no additional postage.  The base of this card is made from Neenah Solar Smooth white cardstock.  I matted the base of the card with a 8 1/4" x 3 1/4" piece of magenta pink cardstock.  ​Using the Trinity Stamps Room Builder Slimline Series dies, I cut the floor from kraft cardstock and adhered it directly to the magenta pink cardstock.  I cut a 8" x 2" piece of white cardstock to adhere to the top of the dance floor as the wall.  Using the window dies from the same Room Builder series, I cut two windows in the white cardstock.  I lined the back of the window with some scrap paper I had that looks like clouds.  I had to cut the two sets of curtains by hand.  I die cut the pink rug from the same paper as the curtains and adhered it to the center of the card using a Tombow dot runner.  I die cut two of the wooden board signs from the same die builder set and stamped "dance" in magenta ink.  I adhered the two signs between the windows using foam adhesive.  ​

I die cut the plant pots from white cardstock and the flowers or leaves from green glitter cardstock and pink glitter cardstock.  I stamped all of the dancers from the Tiny Dancers stamp set by Sunny Studios in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock.  I colored the dancers with Copic markers and then used the coordinating Tiny Dancers dies to cut them out.  I adhered the images to the card using foam adhesive for added dimension.   Lastly, I added a coat of clear Wink of Stella to the dancers for added sparkle.  ​

I hope you have enjoyed this sweet ballet theme slimline card!  Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
