I saw this printed paper in my stash yesterday and I thought “when am I ever going to use that?” The answer is “today” for the Ways to use it Challenge to be inspired by “dance”. The eyelet punch went nicely with the eyelet trim on the dress. The sparkly paper emphasized the sparkle of the rhinestones. The dance panel is raised up. My last step was to add a ribbon and big bow to partner with the one on the dress. Not an easy card to mail, so I will use it on top of a Christmas gift. Fun challenge! Thanks for swinging by to see my card.

Lovely card! The colors you selected to accent the Nutcracker dancer really show her off beautifully. The border punch and rhinestone are the perfect touch. Lucky person who receives the gift with this card on top! Marti
