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.

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.
