I am excited because it is my turn to host the Crafty Friends Challenge and I have made us very easy for you - this fortnight the challenge is to use flowers - yes flowers, how easy is that!
You can use them on patterned paper, by adding them to your cards, stamp them, be inspired by flowers or make your own - how much fun is that?
I have created my own flower for this divine shoe, the shoe template is designed by my dear friend and amazing artist Laura Kirste Campbell. My flower is created using Spellbinders Rose Creations Shapeabilities - I think I have nearly worn this Die out - LOL! I always seem to be reaching for it!
Lots of embossing and inking, along with some gorgeous Art Stencils
The gorgeous edge has been created using the Spellbinders Ironworks Accents Shapeabilities, which has been sponged while still in the Die - I love this effect. of my Dies have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine
and of course I had to finish with a flower on the heel - just for that extra bit of pizazz! LOL!
This project is for the following challenges:
Catch The Bug - Anything Goes
Crafty Calendar - Flowers in bloom
Hotshot Crafts - Die Cuts
Crop Stop - Pretty pearls
Creative Belli - Wedding
Just Keep on Creating - anything goes
Paper Shelter Challenge - vintage/shabby chic

Reminds me of the shoe Laura gave us a template for. I've always kinda wanted to make one but I think I've been reluctant to make it for some reason. So I'll just admire you lovelies!! *Ü*
