Naughty or Nice Challenges - Challenge #41 Reminder

 Ok, so I'm a little late with my mid-month reminder post for the current challenge at Naughty or Nice... Please forgive me, I was rather unwell yesterday and then my glitter glue wouldn't dry!

Once again, I decided to use those gorgeous shoes from Deasey Designs. I'm a bit of a Dorothy nut and love all things Wizard of Oz, so I couldn't resist the opportunity to create some ruby slippers! I printed out the shoes and sentiment (having first flipped one image) and then did some masking so I could stencil a yellow brick road. I coloured the shoes with Promarkers to give a good base and finally slathered on the gorgeous icky, sticky Distress Stickles.

This card is for one of my friends at work. She's a brilliant teacher and has just got a richly deserved promotion, so this little card will be waiting on her desk on Monday morning!

The Troublemakers have created some gorgeous cards for this challenge, so why not hop on over to the blog and join in the fun!

Naughty or Nice Challenge #41 - If the Shoe Fits...

So, June has passed with breathtaking speed and now July is here. I'm not going to worry about this however, as this means it's time for a new challenge over at Naughty or Nice, and one I've been looking forward to for ages!

Like most girls, I have a weakness for shoes (in addition to stamps and design paper of course!) and so I loved searching for suitable images for this challenge.

Isn't this image a beaut? I'm afraid I've not really done it justice, but I did enjoy paper-piecing that gorgeous shoe. I found this, and a selection of other lovely digis, at Deasy Designs on Etsy. If the name sounds familiar it's because this talented lady is responsible: Melania Deasey; tal-ent-ed or what!

Talking of tal-ent-ed, why not head over and catch-up with The Troublemakers. We've loved this one, and can't wait to see your gorgeous creations for our shoe-per fun July challenge!
