I have been thinking about what I should make for my granddaughters' Valentines cards this year. As soon as I saw Anita's rocking ballerina, I knew this was it. Here's the link to the instructions for the rocking card. There's both a video how-to and a pdf file with the measurements and some instructions, but I found it very helpful to view the video before reading the pdf.
I've used this cutie before and she still makes me smile. I colored the veins of her wings with silver metallic gel pen and then covered the wings with Wink of Stella.
I rarely do specialty fold cards, but this wasn't too difficult and I think the girls will love the rocking motion. Thanks Anita for the inspiration and the tutorial. Thanks for stopping by. I hope your day rocks!

Oh, I bet they will love these! Sweet image to use with the fun interactive card.
I agree on the video - normally I struggle to find time to watch them and don't bother, but Anita's really helped me visualise the way it worked.
What a wonderful sentiment.

Very sweet image colored up so lovely, Debbie. I love the card shape too. A perfect Valentine for your Grand-daughter (I am hoping for one of those in the future - my other daughter just got engaged so I have a chance...lol). Beautiful! Hugz
