Ballet Belles

Hi there. It's that time of year again when Miss C has her ballet exams and there are lots of practice sessions and mock exams. Love all the girls in their exam outfits.

Ballet Belles

I matched the photo to a more muted background to let it stand out more. Loving the deep peacock blue of the outfits.

 I stenciled in some flowers with modeling paste before sewing in a few circles in blue thread. I also stamped a few accents around the photo area and added small clusters of flowers. I coloured in the sticker letters with an alcohol ink marker in the closest colour I could match to the outfits and even found a small snippet of ribbon to place on the flowers.

 The houses are rather irrelevant to the photo but I loved them so much, I had to use them. You don't always have to match embellishments and papers to your photo, they can be used as a touch of whimsy.

The pack came with some gorgeous feathers that matched the colours perfectly.
