Hello, sweet friends! I am currently away but will be catching up with you very soon. ♥️
Today I am sharing my first project for Wycinanka! What a joy it was to create. This is for a teen ballet dancer who is battling brain cancer. She continues to dance in her heart every moment and also physically when she is able. The cancer may have taken her eyesight, but not her determination. ♥️
Today I am sharing my first project for Wycinanka! What a joy it was to create. This is for a teen ballet dancer who is battling brain cancer. She continues to dance in her heart every moment and also physically when she is able. The cancer may have taken her eyesight, but not her determination. ♥️
To thank her for inspiring us so richly (and teaching us more than she will ever realize), I gathered some of my favorite Wycinanka and Live & Love Crafts goodies. The gorgeous chipboard frame is from Wycinanka's Elegance collection, within which I nestled pearls and sweet background hearts. The delicate hearts on the frame make my heart dance. ♥️
My ballerina is a Marianne Design die. She is dressed up in lace and papers from Pion's Alma's Sewing Room, which also decorate my entire card. The foliage within my Wild Orchid Crafts flowers are also beautiful chippies. The My Craft Spot (no longer in business) sentiment is cut out with a Spellbinders pennant.
Isn't this Boheme border exquisite? It is glorious and also comes in a slightly smaller mini size. It is softly accented with pearls for extra elegance. I truly adore the texture and beauty that chipboard accents innately create.
The lovely lace along the bottom is one of Sandy's newest trims at Live & Love Crafts and is perfectly dreamy. I wanted various texture for the recipient to explore and see through her hands... I hope she loves it. ♥️
Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a sparkly day. :o)
This is stunning card, beautiful details and love the ballerina. She will love this gorgeous card x

Such a lovely creation my sweet friend! You are so wonderful to create such a masterpiece for the recipient. I know she will cherish this card, I can see all of the love that went into adding so many amazing details! I especially love the ballerina with her lace and pearl accents! The flowers are so beautiful as well! I hope you are doing well my friend! Have a wonderful evening!
ReplyDeleteIt's always sad to see children and young adults battling diseases and treatments that are so hard to endure. Your ballet dancer is sure to speak to her heart of hearts, Karen. It's beautifully done, and quite dainty. All the beautiful embellishments say something about Hope, Faith, and Love of Dance. Pearls of Hope. Border of Faith as it cascades downward, and the hearts of Love surrounding the dancer. Beautifully orchestrated, Karen! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, WOW!!! Karen this is beyond stunning! The paper piecing on her bodice and that lace tutu, inspired! This card is truly, madly, deeply gorgeous! So many lush details and oh that chippie trim along the top, like a hundred little chandeliers! Swoon! I need to stop my comment catch up here, but I hope to not leave so long before I can pop in again. Hugest love and hugs to you until next time, Wends xoxo
