I was delighted when Mitra decided to take on the Serendipity line, and I simply had to have this ballet one, to make a card for my eldest granddaughter, our dancer!
Stamps: On Point SS1054-F
Cover-A-Card Music CC029
Hummingbird WP937
I stamped the On Point stamp onto bristol vellum, using VersaFine Claire Nocturne ink, and let it dry.
I colored the image with Faber Castell soft pastels, using a twice-folded cotton makeup remover square, and q-tips to apply the color. I also added some color to the bottom right corner, using the folded makeup remover square.
I layered the panel onto a teal card stock panel, then onto a panel onto which I had stamped the Cover-A-Card Music stamp, with distress ink. I added the whole shebang to an A2 card front, and stamped the verse, which is from the Hummingbird WP937 clear set.
I kept my card simple for a couple of CAS challenges. No embellishments. I really had to refrain, which is hard for me!
And for the inside:
I hope you are inspired by my card. And I hope my Keeley likes it! She's going to a dance competition over the 4th, so she's been working really hard, perfecting her dance moves.

Lovely card, Lynda. The simple lines of the image are so elegant. The background framing with the music sheet design along with the soft colors combine to make a card any dancer--young and not so young will appreciate. tfs
