Sunny Studio - Black Swan Themed Card

Hello there,

I'm happy to be back with this Black Swan ballet themed card featuring the Tiny Dancers by Sunny Studio. This ballet is my all-time favorite, I like the story and the music, so I definitely had to turn my dancers into swans.

I started off by stamping five Tiny Dancers on 110lb Neenah solar white cardstock using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them using the matching dies, and colored everything using my Ohuhu markers and my Graph'it brush, using light greys for the white swans and dark greys for the black swan. And when the coloring was done, I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen.

Next I cut a square panel out of a Classic Sunburst black paper using the largest Stitched Square die, and I added lots of textures to my piece of paper. I mixed copic opaque white ink with water and used a slim brush to add splatters all over the panel to bring brightness. I did the same with black soot distress ink for contrast, and finally added splatters of brushed pewter mica spray for sparkles.

Once my panel was dry, I cut a scalloped frame out of white shimmer cardstock using the largest Fancy Frames Square die, and attached that frame to my panel using 1mm foam squares.

For my greeting, I first heat embossed "When you stumble, make it part of the" from Tiny Dancers in white, on the upper part of my panel. Next I cut the word "Dance" twice using the Chloe Alphabet die set, out of black glittery cardstock and out of white cardstock. I glued each black shiny letter to its matching white letter using liquid glue, shifting them a little bit to create a white border, and then I attached the letters using 1mm foam squares.

I stuck my Tiny Dancers using 1mm foam squares for the ones in the back and 2mm foam squares for the ones on the front, glued a scattering of small silver star confetti, and finally attached my panel to a white card base.
