Shoes...shoes..and more shoes...

You know a girl can never have too many shoes, my OH may disagree but I just love them and so when I came across this stamp by Hero Arts a few years ago I had to have it. It is still one of my favourates and so I was very excited to learn that this weeks challenge over at Tuesday Taggers is..'Shoes Glorious Shoes'. I've been itching to get creative with it but haven't had time during the week so today it was my top priority.I've had a lovely afternoon playing and I'm also going to use this tag to do my first step-by-step page (here) as a friend asked me if I would do some.  I used embossing resist with distress ink, versamark and clear embossing powder to create the background, added some Tim Holtz die cut flourishes, stamped the shoes three times with distress inks and used the same inks to add some colour.  I also made the ribbon embellishment and then stuck it all together, adding some liquid pearls, stickles and cut out shoes to finish off. I've used a blue palette to enter the Gingersnap creations Color Challenge - Shades of Blue and made the ribbon embellishment to enter this weeks Tag you're it challenge and because I did some embossing resist, this tag also fits with Allsorts Challenge week 58.
