Best Daughter

 Good Sunday morning all!  I have been having a look around for a few non Christmas cards to post (I don't want you to get all Christmased out too early!) LOL I found a few shoe cards that have never had their day on the blog and I thought I would share this one!  I have to admit that I am probably the only woman alive that doesn't just drool over shoes, but I do like shoe stamps a lot!  Probably because they don't hurt your feet! LOL  I started this one with two California Collection borders cut in coconut white card.  I put them together with the scallops offset and glued them diagonally across my card atop a periwinkle strip of card.  These borders are slightly longer so you can easily achieve this with them.   I stamped my sentiment in black in the upper corner.  I stamped the shoe and heat embossed it with clear powder to give it a shiny patent leather look.  I coloured the flowers and leaves with pencils and fussy cut the shoe out.  I used a black marker around the edge to take away the white paper edge that shows when you fussy cut an image.  I mounted it on foam for dimension and added it below my diagonal border. A few pearl finishing touches were added to the borders.   I matted the entire piece with a thin black mat for balance and finished the card with a white pierced mat layer then a final white mat.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x  7 1/2" in size.

   Don't forget that the Comment Game winner announcements have been delayed until Tuesday's post this week.  Don't forget to check back.   All for now, Sue x
