I never thought I would make a card with just a shoe. I'm just not a "shoe" person. (Please don't quit following me. - LOL) However, one of my daughter's best friends commissioned one for her sister. I was asked to use black and hot pink, diamond shapes, bling and a heel. My DH took me shopping in a little larger town than we live in. (We only have Michaels.) So, I was able to take advantage of Joann's 50% sale on the paper. Another deal was using a 50% coupon at A.C. Moore for my latest Nestibility. I felt the two "hot pink" papers in front of the lattice blended in with the black a little too much, so I used a white gel pen to "stitch" around the edges. The image is one of several that you get when you make a donation to "Help Katie", a young wife, and mother of three boys; whose story can be read on Jak's
blog.
Here's a close-up of the shoe, which I colored with my Prismacolor pencils. This is the pattern that the shoe comes with, not paper piecing. While I appreciate the compliment, I want Jak Heath to get credit for the flowers and leaves. I did color the large roses, but then got the idea of adding the little roses. (Is it too much?)
This is the inside of the card, using one of MS's latest punch-around-the-page sets.
And this obviously is the back of the card.

Hi Debbie!
You did a fabulous job on this. I love the paper piecing on it, it looks great! I'm sure the recipient will love it.
A you know, I'm a flip flop person. :-)
Hi Debbie,
Have had a bad few weeks since Feline Playful but am now back blogging. Love the colours and design of your shoe.

Love your GORGEOUS shoe!! Thanks for your visit to my blog today, to answer your question, I hand delivery cards that have lots of embellishments on them.
Awesome Debbie! The funny thing is I have a shoe project all set out! Paper piecing already started! Great minds! Although I am attracted to shoes, (Almost as much as purses and cupcakes!) None of the fetishes in real life, but definitely in the craft world! Your card inspired me to get mine done. Hope Mine comes out as pretty as your. The paper piecing is really pretty!
Oh what a beautiful card Debbie, love the shoe.
luv
