Wow, this was so fun to make. It is for my mother's 82nd birthday next month. The reason it was so fun is that the bling border is from a piece of my mother's jewelry and my sister and I are both going to use some to make her birthday card. No, we're not competitive are we?
I have had this digi image for so long and I LOVE it. It reminds me of a boutique in London where there was a large flowered shoe display. It was breathtaking. I would have liked to make the image larger, but it wouldn't have fit into my bling framing. I know I will use the image again.
So, between my mom's jewelry and using the image I love, I have to say I had a blast. Not often I can feel that way the whole time I make a card and also get it done in 1 day.
Self-explanatory: Dry embossed white panel, added bling, glittered up the shoe (don't know if you can see in photo) and used crystal effects on the flowers after coloring with copics. Added a fancy border punch. Also used the jewelry on the bottom inside of the card.
Okay, I've blabbed enough. Thanks for taking a look!
P.S. I was inspired to make this card from the one and only Cheryl Quilts as can be seen from her beautiful card below. Cheryl, you are something else!!

Ah, Pam, this is gorgeous, and with your mom's own jewelry! I am so honored you were inspired by my card, but you really surpassed the beauty and sparkle with this one! Wow, I love that bejeweled shoe and the beautiful color of the matting! It's stunning, and mom will love it forever! Hugs!
