The Library Challenge

One of my favourite children's books, I read it again and again.

The Library Challenge #54 - these little SugarPea piggies wanted to perform for you... I think it's Swine Lake...


Sometimes, a girl just has to have fun!  I stamped, masked, and stamped this cutie two more times to represent the little ballerinas from the book cover.  My stage was really elementary Copic coloring, and the curtains are actually patterned paper that I enhance a bit.  I wanted it to be fun, and more about their skills... on point en pointe!! [thanks, Jeanne!]

Hope you're having a fabulous Monday!  Thanks for spending a bit of time with me today!
