Ballet Shoes


This image is from  A Day for Daisies and I think it would work in any colour scheme, but I tried to go a bit dramatic.

I coloured the background behind the shoes with a Promarker, embossed it, cut it out and paper-pieced it onto another copy of the image. I coloured in the rest of the image and then paper-pieced the shoes.

I'd like to enter this for:
Come and Get it Challenges Tic Tac Toes ( Black, free and paper-piecing AND Red, free and embossing)

beautiful card, and It's not paper piecing, it's paper piercing for the challenge, but doesn't matter as you had two rows. Love the paper piecing you did though. Also love the dramatic look to it. Great job
