This tag is for Nancy's friend Mia who needs cheering up and loves shoes. Who doesn't? I know I do. Just ask my DH...on second count, don't LOL. I have mine stacked in their boxes by flats, summer, heels, winter, boots....let's just say there's a lot.
Onto my tag.....I don't have shoe stamps but I do have legs and shoes and stockings. I also have a bag full of gelli prints made over the past 2 years. I pulled out a few and stamped the images on top. One of the prints was on deli paper so I fussy cut a second layer for that to hold the deli paper firmly.
Fussy cut all legs and spent time twiddling my fingers and moving them all around until I spied my luggage set sitting on top of my set of drawers. It's been there for a few months. I initially tested it out, again on a metallic gelli print I had, and was going to use it on a scrapbook page. It never happened, but today it came in handy.
I stencilled my tag in TH's speckled egg Dox...I wanted a soft look that didn't detract from the shoes. I then spotted my sewing machine threaded with blue thread. I love stitching on my tags and cards. Usually I will stamp some but I was being courageous today and sewed. I'm not a sewer so this is a big deal for me. It may be a little wonky but I love it.
I decided to put the shoe boxes in the centre......or cases, but they are full of shoes and quirky stockings LOL. I decided to also have some legs/shoes holding them up. The B&W legs are also stamped on a B&W print.
Stickers added and I thought I would personalise Mia's shoe boxes/cases.
I also like bling...not too much but definitely a little, so what else but to add liquid pearls, stickles and other dots to give it an oh la la feel.
The back is covered in polka dot paper and will have a greeting on to Mia.
I had such fun creating this.
TFL. Happy day

Love the subtle stencilling in the background to showcase all these fabulous legs and shoes. Love the nuvo drops accents you did and the suitcase is a cool addition. Love the stitching. I have not aspired to attempt that yet, but I am getting close, lol., and I love seeing it on cards.

Jayne, not sure if Mia got this yet or not, but she called to tell me how much she loved all the cards. She is going to have a long recovery and the cards were so meaningful to her. She was in tears. Your cards all the way from Australia are always a treat so I know she will love this. Thanks so much for making it and sending it! Hugz
