I'm hosting the challenge at One Powerful Hour this week.... my chosen theme is SHOES! I hope you'll pop over and join in with us... the only requirements for the challenge are to follow the theme, and your creation must be finished within an hour! I was pleasantly surprised with my creation .... it took much less than an hour! More surprisingly, I didn't make a card....
Ingredients: Shoe Template; Cardstock - Basix; Double Sided Paper, Rhinestones - Kaisercraft; Flower Buckle - unknown.
I think I should also pat myself on the back for only using 4 items for my creation, as I'm sure this is the least I've ever used..... ever! And although I already had the template to use for this, there are many freebies that can be found if you scour the net ...
I simply cut out the pieces (cheating a little, by printing one page of pieces directly on the patterned paper), and followed the instructions to complete the sandal. I chose a double sided paper, as the patterns and colours would co-ordinate. No thinking on my part. I had to do a bit of trimming, as the heel doesn't fit the shoe shape well. Luckily it can't be seen here. Also, I took a tangent from the instructions to create the sole of the shoe using two pieces of cardstock, rather than just using a sheet of paper/CS as suggested. So the straps and over-toe are actually sandwiched betwixt two layers, just as a real shoe would.
I added rhinestones across the over-toe, and a metal buckle for the strap. I think it's quite safe to say that this is one shoe I'll never wear! Although I ooh and aah over shoes and boots like and other girl would, my passion lies with heeled boots. And comfortable shoes. Pointy Toes and Stillettos are a thing of my past.
Do join us at One Powerful Hour this week! Thanks for peeping!
hugs and blessings,
Pauline
