Best Foot Forward
I've got some new stamps out next week - Groovy Shoes - so retro! This wedge shoe is just one of the images in the set - check out the others below. (The sentiment on this card is from the STAMP Club stamp set for April, Born To Roam.)
On white card I stamped the shoe in Black Soot (masking the far side of the shoe and the back of the ankle strap), then lightly drew in a leg and watercoloured the image with Black Soot and Candied Apple for the bow. Then I painted out the whole background with black gesso. I love how it's turned out :) The sentiment is stamped on a spare strip of white card, then the whole thing mounted onto white card base.
I'm entering this card into The Card Concept, Simplicity
and AAA Cards, Anything Goes.
You'll be seeing a lot more of these stamps over the next few days ;)
