Combined the MMTPT639 (cards for my shoe-loving friend Mia) and this week's WCW21 (painting a heart).
I painted a bunch of hearts on a sheet of watercolor paper using the WCW technique and colors from the shoe I made out of the back of my daily calendar (year is almost over anyway - lol). The little hearts were harder to get a lot of detail in. I wasn't really thrilled with my hearts so I stamped in some filler, then coated it all with versamark and sprinked on some gold glitter EP. After I heated it up, the hearts faded in the background enough for you to see the shoe.
The shoe was drawn out on the calendar cover, fussy cut and then little petals cut and added. I added some little circles around the edge of all the flowers and a bit of "elastic" on the side of the strap for some realism in the middle of this shoe fantasy.
Inside I have another piece of my heart creation (got 4 panels).
I so appreciate everyone who has sent Mia a card. She had another set back so my heart really is going out to her.
Happy Friday and many hugz!

So much love in this card and that sentiment sums it all up perfectly. Love your watercolor bg and how it matches the shoe color. Fab shoes -- you could be a shoe designer in you spare time. I am so sorry to hear Mia has had a set-up. Hope it's minor and she is back on the road to recovery. Hugs.
