Ballerina Card

It's my daughters 27th birthday today and this is the card I've made for her. When she was a child she was very slight and looked so frail and I thought she might make a dancer, so of she went to ballet lessons, but it was not to be, she moved like a 4 year old fairy elephant with two left feet, but not only that - she hated it, although  she always, and still does, enjoy going to watch a ballet.
I've used the beautiful Gecko Galz ballerina image and I printed the lovely ballet shoes from a My Craft Studio CD. I covered a card blank with some paper from my stash and added some satin ribbon, a couple of lovely fluffy feathers and the images that I'd matted onto a pearly pink card.
