Not sure where this saying comes from, but translated it means my feet are killing me. Boy howdy, are they! Funny story, yesterday DH took me to watch Lance Armstrong race, along with 30 thousand other people. We went early to get a good parking spot. No problem finding one or a place to stand, which we did for 10 hours! I did scope out the bathrooms, so there were no problems there. Funny part, Lance was finally racing. They went so fast. About the last round it dawned on me that I was taking pictures of the wrong person. That would explain why Lance, in my eyes was always in the second position. Good thing I took a few videos, at least I can stop it and see the right person! Oh well, me being loopy again....and I didn't even drink!.....on to the card...........
I'm sure when you opened this up you thought....what the heck!Well, the challenge was to make faux denim, which said jeans to me. Since my feet were hurting this just came together.
Made a panel of faux denim, which I really like the end result. Will make it again that is for sure. Might even use it as a bg! I used the rose from Clear Dollar Stamps , new this month. I put versa mark on the leaves and green eb it. Then put versa mark on the flower part and red eb it. Added some white so it stood out a little. Folded up the ends so it looked like jeans, added the faux stitching. Set aside.
Drew the scene behind, sponged the clouds. I was trying to make it look like standing in grass and how it flattens out. Instead, I think my feet look like porcupines. Must say, I think I need a pedicure......and a shave!
Sponged and doodled the edges. Put on a white card that I sponged the edges with denim. Glued on my jeans, popping up the bottoms in the middle. Stippled a little white for the knees and added some bling. Well, hope this isn't too crazy for you...............TFL :0)

I love the saying "my dogs are barking" I knew exactly what you meant....I've said it many times after standing on my feet behind a salon chair after an 8 or 10 hour day! I'm so impressed with your artwork I love the "big ole" feet and pretty toenails! Thanks so much for sharing! BTW love the jewelry!

Oh my gosh is this something!!! I love the detail in this. This woman seems all dolled up with her pedicure and anklet, along with the beautiful denim jeans you created for her. I see she hasn't shaved her legs though. What's with that?!

Cathy, this is so funny. I love how your jeans look. You might want to shave before coming to the castle. I love how you have embroidered flowers on your jeans!!
