This is my creation for a Papertreyink Boot-iful challenge. Check it out here on Nichole's blog. I first saw what Papertreyink Design team member Debbie Olsen created and decided to pull out Green Thumb and see what I could come up with. Have you ever looked a stamp and saw something completely different? For example when I looked at the boot I saw a shirt. Yup...like a clothing article...Then my mind went to how could I utilize that thought? The large strawberry stamp turned upside down creates the perfect skirt for a dress when placed under the shirt! Voila! A boot-iful dress is created! I just recently purchased a Cuttlebug and have not had time to play, sooo...I decided to use my rectangle nestabilites (I purchased here), and the Swiss Dot embossing folder for this creation. A bit of ribbon on the one card...I switched up the cardstock layering for variance in the cards! Here is a single card photo. Do you like the hanger on the this card? This is created by one of the line stamps and little curly leaf stamps included in the Green Thumb set! Gotta love that!
One more photo with both cards...As I finished these creations...I kept looking at the Green Thumb stamp set...and what did I see? Look at the little stamp that is used for the top of the boot. Does that not look like it would make a boot-iful handbag? And I'm sure there has to be some heels in there somewhere! Take a look and let me know what you see!
The new pink colors really compliment the Aqua mist. Don't know which card I like more...the hanger is cool, but too much? All in all, gotta love it when you can utilize your stamps in a new way! Be sure to check out Nichole's blog for all the info.
Barb, that is way too clever and adorable! I love the one with the hanger the best...not too much at all, in my opinion! I haven't purchased this set although I have wanted to for a very long time--now I must get it! A boot turned dress?! You are so creative and inspiring! hugs~

ReplyDeleteOMgoodness how cute are these? Very creative!!
ReplyDeleteThat has got to be the most original take on the challenge that I've seen. Still can't believe you could see all that in this set. Very very well done. If I had to choose just one of the cards, I'd go for the one with the hanger - Nimue
