Lady's Shoe

I'm sure you don't know this about me but I absolutely love fashion. I have sewn 99% of my own clothing for years. Of course I have to have the perfect shoes to complement my fashions. When I saw this new die it left me breathless with thoughts of the kinds of cards I could make for my fashion conscience friends! 



I started by cutting my inner mat of white cardstock and the 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" Stitched Rectangle Panel from the Elementals #1 Basic set. Then using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, I stamped the sentiment using the Girl Time Clear Stamp Set.Using both black and red cardstock I cut the new Lady's Shoe die. I removed the middle cut and the insides of the rear flowers from the black image. Next I cut the rear flowers apart from the main red image carefully, leaving the cutouts intact, and glued them under the outline left under the black cutouts. I then cut the lower part of the red shoe away removing about 1/4" away from the heel height. I offset this piece by about 1/16" lower and forward of the black shoe outline and glued them together. I wanted to give the appearance of the uber expensive "red bottom" shoes. Finally I added glue to the entire black shoe outline and the red insert and positioned it above the sentiment. I dug through my stash for the design paper and the bling (my absolutely favorite embellishment of all time) and added to a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" base and voila!

It's that time of year. I'm an avid golfer and could resist creating a golf scene. I used Golfer coloring him with Copic Markers. I cut the "grass" with the Frantic Stamper Stitched Scene Builder Edgers die. I coupled it with a golf cart from the Frantic Stamper Golf Companion die set. I added bling for the golf cart wheels, a button from my stash as the ball and clouds using a Fiskars punch. The sentiment is from Close To My Heart because after all...Golf is cool!
