Stepping Out

So, summer is finally here and we can look forward to sunny days, thunderstorms and whatever else Mother Nature wants to throw at us!  I'm definitely hoping this summer is a little cooler than last year, as I'm not a big fan of the heat and humidity.  Thankfully my craft room is nice and cool!


So what do you think?  A birthday card for someone turning 35 this year.  This sooooo elegant Fashion Shoe image from Just Inklined is sure to make her kick up her heels and celebrate....while she still can!  Mostly flats and sneakers for me these days....

I've coloured with copics, adding some glitter trim, then used an oval die and the 'out of the box' technique.  Some more dazzle with some silver glitter paper and the Spellbinder's Floral Ovals die.  

The papers are a new purchase from Bo Bunny's Serenade collection...very lush!  Some peel off stickers and some bling for the finishing touches.

Thanks for stopping by, of course now you maybe want to go shopping....in your dreams!

Some fun challenges for my card:
