Can I join in too please?

There is such a pretty sketch this week on Totally Papercraft's challenge, I had to use it with Phindy O'Neill's exquisite digi art, this image is called The Big Girl's Class. I'll admit, ballet and pink were never my thing as a child and nor are they now. But this image is so clever on so many levels and I couldn't resist it, it is beautiful, comic and moving all together, don't know how it is, but it is :).

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge's theme for this week is ribbon and sparkle and Cute Card Thursday has Ribbontastic so I'm entering my card for both these challenges too.

Phindy O'Neill image is coloured with Copics and some sparkle addded with Stickles to the little girsl's tutu. Image is cut and matted with Nesties, the border underneath is made with a Martha Stewart punch. DP is by Artylicious, pink sparkly ribbon was a present from my very creative blogging friend Viv, who I hope to meet in the flesh at the NEC next month. Flowers from my stash have punched centres and Stickles added.
