This was one of those stamps that I HAD to have as soon as I saw it. No idea why as I am not/never have been/never will be a Ballet Dancer! But there was just something about it that appealed to me.
I made 2 cards in different colours -
and can tell you they were both terrible to photograph!
We have had so much rain and grey skies, taking pics of anything has been really difficult.
Both cards coloured the same with watercolours - although wasn't happy about my shading with the blue one - as the paint mix (shades of blue and white) is so obviously different to the shoes.
The 'Dance' sentiment is from SU and the 'Dream' one from an old set (make unknown).
I am submitting the blue card as another entry into CAS Watercolour where the theme this month is 'Blue'.I am off to the British Isles International Series tomorrow for a few days - a short one hour's flight away.
Keeping everything crossed that the deadful rain ☂☂ we have been experiencing for such a long time here in the UK has now moved away to give us some dry days while play takes place!

Two really lovely creations, love the subtleness of the colours and the design.
I am sorry to say that the weather is not looking good, it is our local Brodstock (music festival) and it nearly always rains. Fingers crossed for you though.

Two gorgeous cards. Being a punk person it surprises me yo say that
I like the shoes in the blue the most. Hope play will not be a wash out. Hugs Mrs A.
Two beautiful cards, Viv, the grey stamping is gives the image a lovely, delicate look. Hope the weather improves for you this weekend, we've certainly had more than enough rain for June already! xx
These are really superb Viv...so soft and feminine ad I love that first sentiment. Good luck with the weather! xx
I love this image and I've never been a dancer either. There's just something so feminine about ballet slippers! I love them in both colors and I'm glad you shared them with us at CAS Watercolour!
Lovely effect with the soft grey stamping and delicate colouring. Hope the weather is kind to you
It is indeed a beautiful image Viv and unusually for me I think I am drawn to the blue one. You asked a question about nail varnish colour, in truth I have no idea, when I go which is fortnightly as my nails grow quickly, she puts the colour swatches in front of me and I just pick a colour or design if I want nail art, it's touch though as they have dozens to choose from.

This is such an amazing image ... I can see why you had to have it!! I love it done in both colours. With two perfect sentiments! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! Hope you had sunny skies for your tournament. xx
What striking and beautiful cards Viv and a beautiful image x. Hope the International series went well? Yes the weather has been awful x
Very beautiful cards! The greyt is perfect for the pastel colours. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
I can see why this stamp appeals to you - it cries out to me, too and I haven't ever been/wanted to be or will be a dancer in any form whatsoever, either, lol. You've used it beautifully, with the subtle colouring and lovely words.
Maybe we live in a similar part of the UK cos it's been like that here, too - horrendous weather until this last week or so... in fact, I've been saying it's been more Autumnal than Autumn was up here in the North West! Not so bad now, though and even a few VERY nice days...I think we were all spoiled last year, but it was good :-) Lovely art.
