The card is 4-3/4" x 6-1/4" with 2 rounded corners. The shiny paper is from Martha Stewart's Birthday Pad; it's pink although it looks very red in this photo. But look how that paper shines--almost foil like. Used Cuttlebug's Kassie's Brocade to emboss the white cardstock. The shoe is cut from Forever Young (heels1, pg 54) at 5" because there are actually 2 shoes in the image and I wanted it to be large. It measures about 3-1/4" with shadow. All wording typed on computer. Black and White patterned paper is from a Making Memories Black and White 8x8 paper pad. Used 1-1/2" and 2" scalloped circle punches for the corner sentiment. Added a white flower to the shoe with a Martha Stewart sticker on top of that--isn't that just the perfect beaded sticker for this shoe?! Three gems were placed on each side of HB sentiment. Thanks for looking!

Pat - I love that paper! At first glance, I thought you had made two the same card (1 for your coworker with the "star paper" and then a plain one for you). Your coworker is going to love it. And good luck with the challenge!!!
