My oldest son's fiance has two adult children. Her daughter has a daughter who was born between my granddaughter #2 and granddaughter #3. She is a wee little thing, and my granddaughter #3, who is five months younger, is at least three inches taller! We consider Amara our adopted granddaughter #4, and she needed a birthday card for her second birthday in early June. Needless to say, she needed a ballerina birthday card as well!
To decide what colors her ballerina would feature, I asked what colors of clothing Amara looked the very best in...the answer was turquoise (aqua) and yellow. So, a two-tone card Amara would get. I used an SU retired Tempting Turquoise cs and Crushed Curry. patterned paper I chose was a little pale, so I sponged Daffodil Delight ink over the surface. Since I made the last ballerina card for Evie, I purchased the body parts that I spoke of in the first ballerina card made (see it here: A Ballerina Birthday for Callie!); therefore, this little girl has real arms and a real torso, and legs, which are hidden below her clothing! Other than these added body-shaped parts, there is very little difference in construction. Take a peek below at Ballerina card #4 in light turquoise and yellow:
