HFC Card and Shoe Blog Hop

Good morning everyone, today I have a post with lots of photos, got two fun projects designed with the beautiful images from Heartfelt Creations.  Here is my card, used lots of browns and contrasting whites for the main image and the sentiment.
I cut the fancy tag twice, one brown and one white, the white tag I cut in half and glued offset for contrast between the brown and the background paper.
Colored the image with a sepia Prismacolor pencil, added the rose and rosebuds in layers with pop dots for dimension.  Stamped and cut several branches from the "Classic Bella Rose" set and paired them with some punched MS branches.
Here is a closeup of the little flowers I made with the stamps and coordinating dies from the "Posy Patch" set.
Now for our "Shoe Blog Hop", you should have arrived here from Sue's Blog, if you didn't please start at the Heartfelt Creations Blog so you don't miss anything, your next stop is Olga's Blog.  I made this elegant vintage inspired shoe, this is my first time making a shoe so it took me a bit of time playing with the template, you can find the original template here, for my shoe I made a couple of changes and added a heel.   For the base of the shoe I used chipboard, painted the edge black and glued everything to it.
I used solid color papers and stamped the image from "Bella Rosebud" set all over to create the background.
I applied the trim and then a strip of adhesive pearls on top.
After I stamped the background, I stamped the "Shabby Chic Lace" on top with watermark ink and heat embossed with bridal embossing powder, it gave the paper a very pretty look, almost like a shimmery fabric.
I made the flower with stamps and the coordinating dies from the "Flora Grande" collection, added a pearl to the center and stickles to the edges of the petals.   For the leaves I used the "Distressed Leaves" set and "Nested Leaves" dies.
Here is a closeup of the lace, used the "Lace border" die with mulberry paper I found in my stash, it sure made a very pretty lace.
Thank you for stoping by and hope you have enjoyed my projects, have a wonderful and creative day.
