A Thank You Card For My Ballet Teacher

Hello everybody, hope you’re all well.

This week I made another easel card.

A thank you card for my ballet teacher. She works unbelievably hard at our ballet concerts every two years, and this year is no exception!

We’re going to bring Peter Pan alive on stage and I'm a ‘Pearl’ - this scene takes place in the lake on Peter Pan’s Island and I am also a ‘Rich’ Lost Boy, one of Peter’s friends.

I’m very exited to be a Lost Boy since I'm dancing with Peter Pan, Wendy and Tinkerbell in the same scene.

Danika (my seven year old sister) is a ‘Star’ in a night scene.

Danika fitting her ‘Star-dress’ while my mother is making it.

I will post some more photos of us, when the concert is over.

I thought it would be a good idea to make my ballet teacher a thank you card and give it to her now, while she is working so hard, as encouragement.

After the concert everyone is always full of praises for her and she receives many thank you cards.

So here is my card:

I just love this paper and the stamp fits perfect!

I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday, and flipped it to the right.

I also took part in the following challenges:

I just love this stamp!

It’s one of my Whiff Of Joy Stamps and I think it fits prefect with a thank you card.

I used my promarkers to colour the stamp. I used the following colours:

Rose Pink - for the elephant (I know elephants are not pink but I think it looks girly)

Carmine - for the hair and end of the little elephant’s tail

Yellow - for the toes of the little elephant and on the flowers

Apple - For the bow tie and green on in the flowers

Sky Blue - for inside the elephant’s eyes

Cool Grey for all around the stamp (to finish it off)

Here I put some of my favourite flowers at the left top corner and right bottom corner.

I wrote “Thank You” at the top right corner.

This is ribbon I once bought at a material shop.

Here is the inside of my card.

I repeated the same textured ribbon on the bottom part of the card, just in a lighter shade of pink.

I also repeated the flowers at the bottom.

I wrote: “For Making Ballet Fun” at the bottom. When you read the two sentiments together is says: “Thank You For Making Ballet Fun.”

Although my teacher expect us to give our best, she still makes ballet fun!

Hope you like my easel card

Have a blessed week
