Jen is our hostess for Teapot Tuesday this week - you'll find her challenge HERE along with information about Mia who loves shoes, bright colours, shoes, shoes...
Well, I'd used my only shoe stamp for the recent Tickle a Teapotter when we went to the Kentucky Derby, because what was a fancy hat without shoes to go with it. And I could have used it again, but I broke the mould and made a very un-me card.
Found a free shoe template, downloaded it and cut the heel from gold glitter card, the rest from some textured pink metallic card. I used two old papers from Clairefontaine for the front and inside, cutting a diagonal border along the front. The shoe looked pretty OK, but I decided to spring for the extra postage and added a deep purple ribbon rose, and a line of bling along the back. Round the corner of the inside panel I wrapped some ribbon and a little buckle which hadn't worked on the shoe. I'll add a photo of the inside in the challenge thread - I used some vellum sentiments from Anita and some stickers. I've done very well on using old stash today .

Excellent! I could never wear these shoes, which means they're perfect. Such a good idea with the template. Glad you added the rose, pretty embellishment.

Your un-me card sure surprised me - I really thought it was one of Lisa's shoe creations. Love the colors - texture and all that glitter and bling! That satin rose is definitely the "pièce de résistance" on this already glamorous shoe.

Wow! That is a seriously bling-worthy shoe. Definitely not something I could wear. Love the colors, textures and especially the rosette. And the encouragements inside just add to the wow! I am sure Mia will be both pleased and inspired by this beauty.

Wowza check out that amazing shoe! I think I own something very similar and I love it! I feel like I need to stamp off some shoes for my friends. I am pretty sure I seek out every shoe stamp on the market. LOL! I wonder why. Giggles! Seriously Sabrina Mia will love this gorgeous card.
