Sketchy Shoe


Morning crafters and welcome to another week!

This last one has been a bit of a whirlwind for me.  My OH (Mark) has been away on holiday with his son in Cornwall so I've been busy all week finishing my cards for the Clarity Stamp shows that were on Create and Craft over the last weekend (30th June and 1st July).

I safely delivered them to Barbara on Friday and then waited in anticipation for the shows as this was the first time my cards had been submitted.  I was really nervous, but then when the show started on Sunday morning and they started to preview the stamps, there on the top of the pile for the sketchy shoe set was my card, oh WOW I was elated!!

The background flower/star is created using the small Kasha miniature from the remountable shoe set.  It has been inked with Versamark and then randomly dusted with 2 different colours of mica powder.  Don't forget to spray with a light dusting of hairspray to set it afterwards.

Here's my card for a closer look and underneath I've listed all the materials used to make it too.




Materials used:
Stamp - sketchy shoe
Coloured with promarkers:
Arctic blue, sky blue, cobalt blue & china blue
Nestability - labels 11
Adirondack ink - stonewashed
Faux stitching - Marvy lePlume pen - cherry
Mica powder - pearls
Ribbon and pearls
Eyelets from my stash

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Bunny Zoe's - girls, girls, girls
The Ribbon Girl - girlie
Charisma Cardz - anything goes
Sarah Hurley - dimension & texture



xx Happy crafting and glittery hugs xx
