One for the Ladies


I finished my Easter cards so I thought I'd start with Mother's day cards and here's the first. I saw that the Dies R US challenge #117 is "One for the Ladies" so I decided it was time to use this Frantic Stamper Ladies Shoe die to make a card. I won this die by playing along in a previous Double D challenge.

I die cut the show and flourish from white and lawn fawn pink polka dot dsp, along with a snippet of SU! glitter paper. The card base is Lawn Fawn pink, the embossed background was done with a Tim Holtz Damask ef and the grey panel was done with a Nestabilities beaded oval die that I wove with some pink twine. The silver-embossed sentiment is from SU! and that's it! I'm going to try making another card like this because I'm not overly fond of the color combo. The grey is too dark for my taste, but it's all I had on hand.

Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day whatever you do!

Hey, no fair.. you're done with your Easter cards already, impressive :) What a killer shoe, I really like a grey and pink combo Carol so I think it's very pretty especially with added sparkle. I'd rock those shoes with a pair of jeans no problem lol x

Now that is one awesome foxy shoe you made with all that glitter. I used to wear such contraptions but now I am down to wearing only boxy shoes instead of foxy ones. LOL I love your card!

Fantastic card! I love the glitzy shoe for Mother’s Day! A nice reminder a mom can give herself a little pampering sometimes!

Wow wow wow!!! Awesome and super feminine card!! A fabulous die cut with the glitter and the flowers! Amazing design too, that scallop panel with the twine makes the shoe pops so well and for me the grey tone is just perfect! The embossing looks fabulous too!! Well done!

Oooh lala Carol!!! This is a beautiful card! I love that shoe die and the colors you chose for it. I'm am loving the gray too, and don't think it is to dark at all but to each her own. I love the embossing as well. You have kicked (pun intended) a notch with the glitter paper as well. Hugs, Brenda

Boy those were the days we wore high heels. Never that high but it does bring back memories. I would have loved to had these gorgeous shoes with all the sparkle. Very cute card. I love the twine woven through the mat.

Ohhhh I love this! What a great die to win and I really like the colors, Carol! I'm happy your working ahead. I finished my customer order yesterday...now I need to get myself some Easter cards made to send out. I slacked on St. Patty's which I am still mad at myself for! This card is super pretty with all the sparkle and very feminine! TFS!

Lovin this shoe with the glitter inset! That is one special peep-toe! The flowers make it super girly. Nice work. Congrats on that win.
