Daddy's shoes










I want to enter this card into a few challenges including DP2 which is about to close, so more pictures and all the details to follow shortly :)

Doesn't this look like a very simple card?  This card nearly drove me crazy.  Everything that could go wrong did go wrong, I had to colour the image twice, because my two year old got hold of the first one and improved it - the only part I could salvage were the shoes so, I painstakingly cut them out, intending to decoupage them only to lose one of them.  I broke the C plate of my cuttlebug embossing the nesties - embossing which you can hardly even notice!  Believe it or not, I could go on but I won't - other than to say, to top it all I've had to spend the best part of the last hour looking for the list of challenges I was going to enter. Okay I'm really finished moaning now.

My image is Daddy's Shoes available from Mo's Digital Pencil coloured with copics.  The papers are DCVW "The Linen Closet" and the belt was created by my good self using Cuttlebug's Tiny Circles embossing folder and a buckle from one of my old shoes :)

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges.

  16. I take my hat off to anybody who handmakes anything - it always seems so fiddly and time-consuming. Particularly like the back view of the little boy - cute.
