FFC-158 Learning to Dance

Welcome to my blog and today’s Fun Friday Challenge.  This week our sponsor’s are Bugaboo Stamps and Robin’s Fetish.  To accent pictures of my niece first learning to dance, I chose the Robbin’s Fetish image Ava Dancing.

Movement & Balance

My niece started taking Dance Class just before her 4th birthday 5 years ago.  At that age it is all about movement and balance.

Ava dancing tag

To create the tag for this layout I did the following:

1. I cut 2 copies of a tag from a file created by Monica Bjork in 2014.
2. I colored the tag using the following Distress Ink colors:

   Inked tag

   1. Tattered Rose
   2. Shabby Shutters
   3. Festive Berry
3. The image I printed onto Crafter’s Companion White Ultra Smooth Premium Cardstock.
4. I colored the image using Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers with the

   Ava Dancing, Colored

   following color combinations:

   1. Skin:  FS1, FS3, FS5, FS8
   2. Dress:  PP3, BP1, PL2
   3. Shoes:  IG3, IG8
   4. Hair:  GB8, GB10, EB7
   5. Bow:  CG1, CG4, GB3
   6. Outlined:  BT3
5. On the tag itself I used the stencil Mini Butterfly Collage to create the layers.

6. Stenciled Tag

   Using the hexagon pattern I stenciled it onto the tag using Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.  Then, using the smaller butterfly pattern I stenciled the pattern onto the tag using Dusty Concord Distress Ink.

7. Lastly  I adhered cut out the colored image and adhered it to the tag, adhering the tag onto the layout.

The layout itself I created with 5 patterned papers, cut using the Kiwi Lane template system.  This is one page of a two-page layout, which is why you may not yet see a title or any journaling.

I hope that you enjoy the tag and layout I created as much as I did.  Please let me know if you are trying these techniques and the results of your efforts.  I can’t wait to see what you create!
