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!

I am catching all your little hearts in the bg and what an elegance the swirls of gold dust and foliage add to this. That shoe is a masterpiece with its dimensional flowers and marbled looking lustrous finish. All the little doodling on the flower edges looks like chain overstitching.

I love this kitschy shoe. The way the strap lays to the side suggests these floral wonders have been worn often and with much enthusiasm. The subdued colors also suggest the passing of time and softened with age. What a lovely, tender card for Mia.
