My card today features one of the new Dancers by Annie Rodrigue...this is Trixie Tapper! I LOVE her. :) I've always thought it would be fun to learn to tap dance! My card layout is pretty simple to allow Trixie to take centre stage. I used silver and black metallic cardstock matted with red to pick up the accents of red in the coloured image. The silver oval was stamped with flourishes for a bit of visual interest, and I used Classic Corner Dies by SCACD to frame the image. The silver and red cardstock was sponged with black ink, and I added some rhinestones as a final touch.

Just wanted to give a shout out to all the ladies who attended Krafty Day yesterday...what a FANTASTIC day!! Hope you all had a blast. :D
Thanks for joining us today!

WOW!! Stunning Melanie!!
She's gorgeous! You've done a great job with her!
Wow... this is fabulous! The dark background and dark colours on the image. It would have been very easy to `lose` the image in the background but you`ve made her stand out and she`s truly the focal point. It`s a wonderful card and your colouring is flawless.
She looks great in black and red!

Wow! What a fantastic card, Melanie! Love the way you've colored Trixie Tapper...She looks like she's just tapping her way off the page!! Luscious color combo and trims too.
Melanie, this is divine!! Your colouring is fabulous, as always, and the layout is spectacular. Love everything about it. Great job!!
Absolutely gorgeous Melanie!!!! Your cards are always so beautiful!! I wish I could have went to KK Day!!! but I already feel a bit guilty leaving for 10 days for my cruise in November so I didn't think I better. I would have loved to watch you colour again!!
Wow fantastic colour choice!
Fantastic card! Your coloring is awesome!
OMG - This is truly an amazing card. You are so talented; it really feels like her suit is made of velvet.I have never seen dark colors handled so beautifully.
My daughter loves the card - a dance card that is not too "girlie" she is so done with pink! :D
Wow...love the image and how you used the red-black-silver colour combo.
