I passed on this adorable shoe yesterday - I'd already uploaded one card in the morning with a singing blue bird. But I loved the shoe, and I loved each and every card made from it in the IC gallery yesterday, so today I had to run a quick card up.
The base is 5 3/4" white card. I covered it with cream Bazzill, after cutting out the little leaf shapes and backing them with some embossed white card. The edges were all pierced. The tree is cut from some textured handmade paper, and the bird is just a teardrop shape cut from a scrap of Bazzill. I was going to use the cute little Imaginisce chick, but it's facing the wrong way, and to my eyes it wouldn't have liked right having the tree and bird facing in from the right edge of the card.
TFL, and thanks again, Stef. Hope to come back to that site again - there are still frogs and pigs calling me. Oink oink...

Oh my goodness ... I'm so glad you came back and made a second card, because this is awesome ... the texture behind the leaves, the perfect little music notes ... fantastic inspired creation.

Wow! I *love* the texture behind the leaves! Very clever and original. What a mind you must have! I recognized the shoe you chose the minute I saw this. Wonderful work. Love that happy lil birdie!
