Metal? Seriously?! I was going to pass on this challenge until I remembered I had these little metal sentiments from Dollarama that I've had for ages and never used - do you have things like that too? You see them at Dollarama and think "oh, those would be great for a card" and then tuck them away in a drawer and forget about them.
This card is for Christal and those of you who know Christal KNOW that she loves purple and she is a shoe-a-holic (in fact the sign on her desk says so!). Yes, Christal loves her shoes and her boots and she has more than a few pairs! Imeldabella was the perfect image and I loved that I could personalize the shoe boxes with two of her favourite stores. I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured it with copics.
I paper pieced the pants and added several coats of clear glaze pen to the top. The pattern paper is Basic Grey Oh Baby Girl, Lilly. The Simply Scallops Die-namic is from MFT and the little shoe charm was given to me from Karen.
Now if you look veeeeery closely you will see that I paper pieced those boots - yes, I did! Each one of them! In retrospect, I wished I hadn't sewn on the card but I know Christal will appreciate my attempt :)
Happy Birthday Christal!!

Love the little shoe charm to go with your theme. Can I say that this is a "charming" card? Bawah Enjoy your weekend!
