Ballerina View Master Card

Hi everyone-
Today I am here to share a card I made for this weeks challenge over at SweetStamps.
This weeks theme is:
View Master Cards

Now, I have to confess I was scared when I saw this theme.
Not only have I never made a View Master card before, I just didn't know where to get started!
Well luckily for you and me, our challenges are given to us well in advance, so I had time to think about how I could pull this off.  I think I succeeded and I definitely learned a few things that I would tweak for next attempt at this type of card. 

Here is my View Master card:
Calypso#84wm
I had to bling this card out!!!  It's a Happy Birthday card for a beautiful ballerina dancer!

So I went pink and I used lots of bling!!!!  LOTS!!!!

Okay...so check out this butterfly!!! the butterfly has been die cut from Holographic cardstock!
When my package arrived a few weeks ago and I saw this in there, I was a little apprehensive. 
I love trying new things, because it pushes me to think a little out of my comfort zone. I love how it looks. 
Now going through my rubbish of craftroom, I came across a several sheets of 8.5 x 11 mulberry paper. 
You know the one where you wet to cut and the edges frays...well I created this lovely flower.

Here are the other 3 images that can be found when the view master wheel is turned. 
I love this ballerina image and it worked perfectly in this card!!

So there you have it!! Hope you will take the challenge this week and share your attempt with us at SweetStamps.
