1. Stamp the ballerina, the ribbon she’s holding, and both sentiments on shimmer white card stock as shown above.
2. Stamp the ballerina only on scrap Glimmer paper and cut out the dress
3. Tie the ribbon around the front of the dress and make a knot.
4. Color the dress stamped on shimmer white with a watermelon wonder marker, color the girl with a pink pirouette marker.
5. For the hair, use a so saffron and crumb cake marker and blend them together a little to make her hair color.
6. Attach the glimmer paper dress to the top of the image with glue dots.
7. Then, attach the ribbon going across this layer, by using fast fuse on the back of both sides of the card stock. Tie two layers of the dotted lace ribbon and trim to make a thick knot on the front of the card.
8. Attach and layer the rest of the layers together as shown in the photo above.
