I must say that I think Annie Rodrigue has surpassed herself with this fabulous new stamp! The brilliant new range of Kraftin' Kimmie stamps are now available over at Bunny Zoe's Crafts. All of the new stamps are dance themed and great fun, but this little 'Angry Ballerina' grabbed my attention and then pirouetted into my shopping cart.
I know it's a bit corny but I just couldn't resist the 'sentiment'!
This is a tent card made with the help of Dena's great instructions over at The Just Magnolia Challenge Blog. In the end I placed the ballerina on the front of the card, rather than suspending her, as I wanted her to look like she was standing in the spotlight. Not quite sure if it works, but I had lots of fun trying!
I cut the large circle with my Mom's Martha Stewart Circle cutter... not easy to use, but gave a good effect. I read the instructions very carefully as Mom cut herself on the blade the first time she used it.
Now that I have seen the card on the screen I plan to try and make the curtains look a bit more 3-D. It never fails to surprise me how different a card can look on the screen. I often work on a card again after seeing it on the PC as all the faults and crooked lines become magnified and obvious!
Happy crafting everyone!

omg--this is just TOO FUNNY, jo, and too FAB-u-LOUS!!! the ballerina's face makes me laugh, but "swine lake" is the best bit!
i absolutely ♥LOVE♥ the construction of this card--the way you've "magically" suspended the ballerina front-n-center, and then i swear my first thought (ok, after i laughed at "swine lake!") was, "oh WOW, those curtains are BRILLIANT... they look totally dimensional!" (so there!) ♥
Hey Jo, how COOL is this! I love the little curtains and the sentiment might be 'corny' but it fits perfectly!
Off now for a skive and look at your link for instructions! (I'm bored with this working lark!)
