The Stampman Challenge-Anything Tim!!

Its anything Tim (you know his name!!) over on the Stampman Challenge Blog this week! A fab challenge for most of us. I fancied doing something different too, that wasn't the 'usual Tim' style, but could incorporate all his fab bits and bobs. I found a shoe template via facebook, which I thought would work and I know us ladies LOVE our shoes!!!LOL I thought with Mother's day coming up I could use it as a gift box for my mum.

I used some Crinoline from our local Fent shop and cut out using my 'Tattered Floral Sizzix Die' and added the Foliage and a pearl brad from my stash. For the shoe I used some gorgeous Bo Bunny Paper 'Gabrielle' and again I was detemined to use the 'Tissue Paper 'Sketchbook' which I used as a frill along the top of the shoe.

Crinoline is fab to use on cards also for the 'Shabby Chic look' and is great stained with distress inks .

Challenges Im entering are

Crafts and Me-Anything Goes

Allsorts-Giftbox

Simon Says- Motherdays/Anything Girly
