Inventory Challenge #27




Good afternoon everyone! Oh my goodness, I am late posting my Inventory card today...my hard drive DIED!!! Lost lots of data! I am so lost right now....can't seem to find my comfort zone on this computer yet!
We are to take our inspiration this week from a painting by Degas, called "The Ballerinas".
The perfect papers for this challenge are the gorgeous papers designed by Melissa Frances. If you look close, you will even see ballerinas on the paper.
Of course, this theme gave me the perfect opportunity to use a stamp I have not as yet used...Ballerina Tilda! She is from the 2010 Fairytale Collection, available at Diana's Magnolia-licious Store. I colored this cutie with distress inks and the beautiful embellishemnts were a gift from a dear, sweet friend....thanks soooo much Sweetie! I finally a bit of the Tim Holtz film strip I have had for a very long time.
Thank you for your visit and I would like to encourage you to visit my friends and teammates and view their beautiful creations:

    How tragic hearing about your computer. With that happening I don't know how you even produced a card let alone a BEAUTIFUL one at that. Your colors are Fabulous and of course so is the DP. Tilda the ballerina is the dancing Queen among those gorgeous flowers and doilies. You never cease to amaze me with you art!
    Hugs, Cathy-Lynn

    Would you believe I still haven't received your post through my server yet -- well at least I am seeing it now. If anyone has outdone them self you have - this is to die for beautiful!!! So sorry about your computer -- I might have told you, I am convinced my computer hates me and is out to get me. Is your computer friends with my computer? Your gorgeous papers could not be anymore perfect and I love that dang film strip. Your design work is perfection Christina. You are so talented. Hope things are going well with your computer. I am convinced that all computers are males and do not think at all the way we do! Love your card Christina !!
    XO Sandy
