Kicking Up My Heels

I am still busy playing at Winterfest 2014, at Two Peas In A Bucket.

When I noticed the "In the Round" challenge, I knew which stamp I wanted to use. I have been itching to get these stamps inky since I received them from my lovely blog buddy Redanne. I am always a bit timid to use my lovely gifts... as I don't want to disappoint the giver if I mess it up. I knew I wanted to use the Sakura Gelly Roll Silver pen to hilight the heel, buckle. strap and flowers...so I was a bit worried I would not be able to carry it off.

After I stamped and coloured the image with copics, I did that Gelly Roll outlining and it was easier than I thought! Funny how you can get yourself worked up about nothing...lol

The challenge requires the image to be cut in a circle and also requires the use of at least two embellishments. As my card developed, I realized that it would also fit the 4 embellishment brief for the "Embellish This" challenge as well. What luck...

I kept my design paper to just one sheet as the image circle is quite large and I wanted to use those fairly large Marianne corner dies as well. I backed the ribbon with a piece of the silver glimmer card stock and tried out a small rhinestone belt buckle as well. Well, to be honest, it isn't really a belt buckle. I spied it in a packet of a dozen hair bows at the dollar store. I cut the "buckles" off  to Upcycle on cards.
Here is another photo that shows the Gelly Roll outline...sorry about the glare...it was impossible to avoid it tonight. All my photos tonight seem a bit paler and softer than IRL.

I did not finish the inside of this one as I have not yet decided if it will be a birthday card or perhaps even a Mothers day card.
