If the Shoe Fits…

Happy Friday!  Today is a new release from A Day For Daisies called Walking Vintage.  This is a sweet collection of vintage shoes and a great vintage lady.  It’s also a challenge and you must distress it.  Distress and vintage go hand in hand right?  Easier said than done sometimes…
This shoe with the bow made me think Ruby Slipper!

So I started by printing the shoe twice.  I only used the bow from the second image to pop up over the original.  I colored the shoe with Copic Markers then cut it out.   Then I masked the inside of the shoe, where I didn’t want glitter, and pressed it into my glue pad and coated it with red glitter.   I did the same with the extra bow and popped it up with a dimensional foam dot.   I used Spellbinders dies to cut out the circle and scalloped circle, sponging inside the circle with the die still in place.  I embossed the background panel with a swiss dots embossing folder then sponged it with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.   Then after distressing the edges of the main panel and sentiment panel (sentiment from Feminine Charm by Flourishes) I sprayed the entire card with Glimmer Mist in Vanilla Breeze.  It’s a bit more shimmery than dirty looking in person, lol!
Check out all the beautiful creations from the talented design team, then head over to the ADFD blog and play along!

I love the combo of distressing and glitter. What you did with the shoe is fantastic! It looks so dimensional with the popped up bow. Very cute!

This is fabulous! My DD would have a FIT over this card. She loves the Wizard of Oz story. You even have the blue gingham like Dorothy's dress. :)
