I've now finished my second ballerina card, and this one is for my second granddaughter. They get to be granddaughter #1, #2, and #3, by their age. Callie, who was just 4, is granddaughter #1. Sienna, who was just 2, is granddaughter #2, and Evie, who is 16 mos., is granddaughter #3. I love them all dearly, and I'm sure you know, their number has nothing to do with how much I dearly love them! All clever, cute, and darling girls for sure!
So, I missed making Sienna's first birthday card, as I was just returning from several trips to California, just in time to attend her birthday party, but not get a card done! Within 5 days of her birthday party, Covid arrived in Washington...the first state with a Covid case, then schools closed, gatherings closed, restaurants closed, and life became anything but normal! It seems everything stopped, even my creative mojo and ability to get myself to my crafting table stopped! I think we were all in shock, and my husband and I were certainly in the age range where every precaution was needed! I am happy to say...a year later, both my husband and I have received the vaccine, and we are looking forward to an end of the pandemic! At least we can now socialize with our family members who are vaccinated...we are almost to 75% of our immediate family at this point.
I am also happy to say that I have finally made little Sienna her card for Birthday #1 to save in her memory box...a homemade card from Grandma in honor of her first birthday! Sienna dressed in a darling little frilly pink birthday dress, so it was only right that her card should be pink...and with her very blonde hair, her ballerina surely must have yellow hair. I followed the construction instructions provided on Callie's purple ballerina card, and here is that link: A Ballerina for Callie! if you are interested in the ballerina's construction. Take a peak below at Sienna's sweet little pink ballerina:

hello, i left message on splitcoaststampers, and came here, but if you wouldn't mind telling me how you attached the foil strips (leaf die?) onto the tulle, i would be grateful to know. sticky dots? dabs of glue? are they just attached at the top and then just flowing across the tulle? thanks if you get a chance to respond to me at Splitcoaststampers. aztk is my username. so inspired by this!!
