It is the 7th and I have not posted a single card so far... just so occupied with the kids!
This card is ideal for me right now... wish I could do that but I hardly get time to wear heels! I think the caption for me should be "just kick off your shoes and have fun".
This card has a history to it - I will try not to bore you with the details but Zeenya stamped this shoe from my new Hero Arts clear stamp alongwith the sentiment. She did a good job with distressing the sides as you can see in the remaining bits where she stamped the sentiment.
Tip: She decided to distress with Marvy brush markers instead of actual distress ink and it worked quite well.
While she was decorating the shoe with glitter it got a bit messy and I - Miss Smarty Pants tried to help her and made it worse... She was heart broken and so was I.
However, I was determined to make this card happen beautifully so I cut out the shoe and hand tore the sentiment and coloured in the shoe with Zeenya's Sakura nail pens and see what I did. I also added in some Sakura glitter pens. I do like it now.
The quilled flower on the shoe has been made by me and the rest of the stuff is from my stash.
Am going to enter this card for Michelle's Monday Linky party and for following challenges:

Glad you were able to salvage it though because it's so pretty. Love that sentiment too. Very nice.
I would NEVER be able to walk in something like that I'm afraid - just too klutzy I guess! LOL
