Give A Girl The Right Shoes

Good morning everyone, hope you are having a good start to your day!!  I would like to share my layout using the newly released Ballet stamp set.  In this layout the sentiment is the only stamp used, and it fits this layout perfectly. These sweet little feet are my precious granddaughter's!  

The cardstock was prepped using gesso.  Once the gesso was dry I placed a stencil on top of the  layout and applied  Dreamweaver Embossing paste.  Once the stencil was removed a light dusting of Sparkling Snow was applied for a bit of sparkle.  I repeated the stenciling using a different stencil with Memento Sweet Plum ink.  Dimensional Glue was applied to the inked stencil randomly and micro beads were added. Color was added to the background with small pieces of gelatos mixed with water and lightly misted around the page.  

A Chipboard Dolly was inked using versamark and embossed  using Velvet Sparkle EP.  Strips of cardstock were embossed, stenciled and layered behind the photo.  A small journaling tag was cut and embossed.  The star frame was cut using my Silhouette.  It was inked with versamark and embossed with Tinsel EP.  Sparkle was added to the shoes using a glue pen and Sparkling Snow glitter.  

The Ornamental Tag One from Spellbinders was die cut and the sentiment stamped using versamark and embossed with Black Detail EP.  I took a glue pen to the swirls and flower and glittered them with Orchid glitter.  Liquid Pearl White Opal was added to the center of the flower.

The orchids were die cut using Spellbinder Die D-Lites Orchid.  Color was added to the centers using copic markers.  Lavender Iris glitter was added to the edges with a brush and Brushable Glue.

Hope you are enjoying all the new releases and beautiful project by our wonderful Design Team.  When I saw those pretty ballet shoes, I knew I had to have that set.  My daughter started taking dance when she was 4 (she's know 37)!  

To start my layout I used Martha Stewart scalloped punch and punched around the page.  I did not want a perfect punch, instead I wanted a mess punch.  The edges were inked with brown ink. I prepped my page with gesso before starting my page and let it dry.   Using a pink gelato randomly on the page for some soft color.   Next I laid my floral stencil on top and covered with embossing paste.  Removed the stencil and covered with Sparkling Snow glitter. A second stencil was placed down and stenciled using blue ink with a sponge dauber.

My photo was layered with dollies, tag, and different DP.  

For those pretty slippers, I stamped them with black ink and colored with copic markers.  Brushable Glue was placed on the slippers and Petal Soft flocking was applied.  For the ribbons Bubblegum glitter was added using a glue pen.  They were then fussy cut out and placed on the page with pop dots.

Here you can see a closer look at the background.  The orchid was die cut using a Spellbinders die.  A small amount of colors was added to the flower using copic markers.  Using brushable glue and a small paint brush Sparkling Snow glitter was added to the edges of the orchid. The letters are from Tim Holtz. 

The sentiment was stamped with black ink.  Small rhinestones were randomly placed on the page, as well as dots White Opal Liquid Pearls. 

The butterfly is a stamp from My Rose Garden.  The background paper was created using gelatos and water.  Once the paper had dried I stamp the butterfly and fussy cut out.  Sparkling Snow glitter was added to the edge of the wings.

Hope you have enjoyed my layout, I really had fun putting it together.  Here is a little sneak peek of a layout to come using only the sentiment of the Ballet Stamp Set.  I hope you will come back by to see the entire layout!!
