Doc Martens, fairly CAS. Inspired by the SOS challenge. I didn't realise I had this many shoe stamps!
This could be masculine or feminine.
Usually workmen's boots, I don't know if these are still a thing or not, but I was always amazed at how young women could wear these with floral skirts and skinny tops and still look gorgeous.
Doc Marten Stamp from Deep Red, left uncoloured. Stamped sentiment. Wrapped twine. Thin strips of dark plum and matt silver laid along the edges. Card base is glossy purple. That's it.

The background is watercolour card, smooshed,ink blended and stencilled over using Ranger DI's. The edges are diecut with Tim Holtz edges and sentiment heat embossed with Zing lime green EP. I diecut a sunflower in a not-perfect colour - I know that will annoy some folk - but I wanted it to be not-perfect amazing. Hmm maybe I should have made the leaf hot pink.
This is going to a teenage grandaughter who is going through "that" stage, where I hope this will encourage her.

For one of our NZ cardswaps we made Momagami paper. I made mine into a little booklet so my swap partner could use the papers if she wanted to.
The papers are from Bella! paperstack, so they all coordinated. I treated them to Momagami and myself as well - what a soothing process and they smell delicious. I stitched the collection together adding a Tim Holtz butterfly, hello sentiment, twine, gold dots. I stuck it on a top-fold card. Other odd items got added in as I went, things I thought would bring a smile or thoughtful contemplation.

This was my offering for a recent NZ cardswap which had to use the Shadow Block technique. The person I was sending to makes the most beautiful floral cards, so I decided she deserved one back.
The watercolour-look paper is from Rosies Studio Indigo Mist pad, gold & green figured papers from a Sizzix pad. Paper cut into 1" squares, assembled with dark green as shadow. Sentiment is gold embossed with a bit of EP splatter & layered with vellum. Gold pearls and thread/twine.
The sentiment started "It's your day " ... and inside says " to get some real mail".
I was sent this enormous die by a lovely lady - thank you again, you know who you are.
The die is Sizzix all in one piece, so I cut it from white card and coloured it with Inktense Pencils while watching tv one night. It resides in the jungle created by an embossed background (Cuttlebug Hawaiian Shirt) made using letterpress technique and white ink, and also a scrappy strip of jungly looking p.paper. The coloured dots are drop-outs from dies which I collect. We saw these parrots in Costa Rica.

Yes, it's all about the shoes! I'd like some like this. I'm sending this to our daughter who works in the fashion industry, she will have a laugh.
Coloured leftover strips laid randomly (I'm sure witches never have anything straight) because I like wonky, strips are loose at bottom & top. Stamp by Stampendous, coloured with Copics. Sentiment stamp is Dare2BArtsy. Silver dots of 3D KindyGlitz to nail down the sentiment - I'm sure witches like a bit of glamour here and there. All popped up on foam. Insert is decorated as well.

Magic potion, slime and an enchanted toad. The question is this: did he turn into a toad after drinking the potion, or is he about to drink it and turn into a handsome prince???
Background paper and fussy-cut toad are printed from Digital Scrapbook, diecut orange card sanded and wrapped with a knot of black tulle. Diecut slime made using vellum left dangling (oeeeewww). Sentiment punched with three layers, stamp by Tim Holtz. Toad & sentiment popped up on foam.

House mouses always want to be the star of the show, this one even got dressed up for the part.
On the stitchy diecut panel: stamped image of House Mouse coloured with Copics, inked edges and stamped with gold stars. A starry looking PP background to frame it. The sentiment is stamped (Tim Holtz), punched with Fiskars punch and layered three times with rough-cut black tulle between for a bit of texture and dimension. The stars are diecut (Sizzix) from glitter cardstock. White gel pen highlights.
I think the stars are where the magic happens, just try zipping around on your broom without some stars!
