It's a Girl Thing!

I made this birthday card for a girlfriend at work.  Isn't it adorable?  I love how the shoes turned out!


Ingredients:
A2 sized card
Background paper is from DCWV Shimmer Stack so it's shiny and thick.  I embossed it with Cuttlebug Victoria folder.
Grey paper on top of that embossed with Swiss Dots and punched with MS Lace Doily (or some name close to that!)
Ribbon from Michael's $1 bin - I love that ribbon!!
Shoes cut from Forever Young cart at 2" and blinged.
Sentiment is from Fiskars "Girls Night" 13-piece stamp set (just picked this up on sale at Joann's)
Birthday sentiment is Inkadinkadoo.

Gotta love the shoes, huh?!  I'm going to also post this at Decorate to Celebrate.  Their current challenge calls for an adult themed decoration. Check out their site.  I think this card is perfect for adult women everywhere!  I know this card is not eligible for a prize, (and I don't want to be included in any drawings) but I just wanted to share the adult theme with you!  BUT, could you picture a banner made of shoes for a "Girls Night In" party?!  (food for thought)  TFL!

    As a certified shoe-fanatic, I LOVE this card so much, Pat! I totally subscribe to the "If the shoe fits, buy one in every color" theory! Just gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing it at Decorate to Celebrate!

    Fabulous card! Love the shoes and sentiment! Great embossing! I agree that a banner made with shoes would be great-maybe for some Red Hat Ladies! Now you have me thinking!

    Great card! I love the embossing and the way you used the punch on the inside and the outside. And of course, I love the sentiment!
