This has been such a fun challenge, Wendy..I had to think about this for a while!! I finally decided to make my card around the musical Chicago...I just loved that movie!!! I was sooo impressed with all the dancing that I made my card to honor one of the greatest dancers of all time...Ginger Rogers!! As the sentiment says..."Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, she just did it backwards and in high heals"...what a woman!!
This is also for the Twisted Sisters Challenge to case a card from Jamie's (JaniePTS) gallery and what a fabulous gallery to find inspiration!!! I decided on her Snow Business...I kept the same basic layout and colors but changed the shape to a square design, changed the theme, stamps, and added the ribbon, silver cording, and silver pearls.
The shoe image from Clear Dollar Stamps Sassy and Fabulous set was paper pieced with Basic Grey's Marrakech paper, cutout, and popped up on the white Nesties shape. I titled this Happy Dance because Jamie is now reunited with her DH...I can just see her dancing now...Whoohoo!!!!! TFL!!

What a cool card. Like those dancing shoes and the fun ribbon treatment.
Bet Jamie will do a 'happy dance' over this cased card.

I remember those shoes from last week. They are just as darling in blue and your punched wave was a fantastic way to really highlight the ribbon and image.

Very cute and how appropriate to associate it with the happy dance that Jamie is doing today, now that she is finally with her DH. Your card is fantastic with the layers, pearls and the paper pieced shoes. They are awesome. Happy you were able to play along with us today.

I just love that sentiment, Joan!! Great layout and colors. Your paper piecing on the shoes is perfect! What a fun card for the musical-inspired challenge
