Thanks for visiting us (again) this week!   We hope you are inspired to play along and join the OWH Stars & Stripes challenge for a chance to win!

Creative Craft Challenge Sponsorship

Today we sponsor the Creative Craft Challenge!  The theme is Button & Bling.

I finally got to color the Fancy Shoe image.  I originally envisioned this shoe in peach and brown colors.  This is a birthday card for my mom this year.  I used Viva pearl pen on the pearls in the image, and then used some pearls and a button in the flower center.
I printed on watercolor paper and watercolored with Tombow markers and a waterbrush.

Here's a close up, but not sure if it shows the shimmer on the shoe pearls.  They look really nice in person.

Thanks for coming by to see us today!   I hope you have been inspired to bless someone with a card today.  Enjoy your week!
