Crafty Friends - Best Foot Forward

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

Parisian Rose

Flowers - always come to mind when thinking of Mother's Day - admittedly this is not a Chrysanthemum but it definitely is a flower!

I have used the smallest Die from the Spellbinders Grand Labels One Nestabilities do create my card

and the Parisian Motifs Shapeabilities - I love this Die!

and the Rose Creations Shapeabilities Die - I am going to have to be surgically removed from this Die, I cannot seen to stay away from it! LOL! The beautiful pearls are from Want2Scrap - 72 Count - Pink Pearls - Self Adhesive.

All of my Dies have been cut using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine - I love the way it gives such a crisp cut and the embossing is like 3D - you can't beat that!

Simply Create Too - Mothers Day / Feminine
