Meet ...... Angry Ballerina!!!

Well, it's Day Two of our March Release previews at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps and have I got an adorable image for you!!

This month we have made Annie Rodrigue's painting, Angry Ballerina, into a stamp!!! Isn't she a hoot? I just love the attitude on this girl!!



I stamped her on Neenah cardstock using Memento ink and coloured her with my Copic markers. The colours I used are taken from the Bittersweet patterned paper by Basic Grey. I used Chocolate Chip for the 6x6 card base and Regal Rose for matting.

I cut out the main image using my Nesties and sponged around the frame using Wheat chalk ink and a sponge dauber. I added some of my favourite pink ribbon (that I have been hoarding) and tied a couple of pretty bows. I layered a bunch of pink Prima hydrangeas and attached them with Basic Grey brads. Then I stamped one of the fabulous sentiments that come with the stamp, 'Just Dance', and used my label Nesties to cut it out. The other sentiment that comes with Angry Ballerina is 'Just One of Those Days!'....perfect for her!



How many of us have photos of our little ones at dance class, making a fuss or crying because they don't want to perform? Isn't this a great image for those scrapbook pages? Heehee!

Now, all of the images you are seeing over the next few days are previews for stamps that will be released at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps on Sunday, March 14th! You can see samples at all the Krafty Girls' blogs AND we'll be having a fun blog hop on Sunday.....where you can win some of the new images!!

Not only that......but every order placed on Sunday or Monday, is eligible to be the random winner of one of Annie's 5x7 prints of her original painting, Angry Ballerina!!! How cool is that???

Now hop on over to the KKS Challenge Blog and see who else is posting some samples today!!

Happy kraftin'!!

Love your card and the soft pinks. I cant imagine a ballerina with a grumpy face, i imagine them to be so angelic and happy. As you can guess I don't have a daughter but love your card. I agree the image is a hoot!

Thanks for sharing!
