Inspired High Top Converse from MFT

 


I find inspiration to be such a fun topic!  A few weeks ago we happened to be in mall looking for a birthday present for our son, when I spied a new colour of Converse runners across the store - a beautiful soft blue green caught my eye!  TOO cute!  But I don’t love the high tops as much as the low ones so I passed on them (plus it wasn’t my Birthday!)

Then I keep coming back to inspiration with Converse runners where embroidery artists work magical little floral scenes on the shoes.  And hey - why not do it on paper shoes!  So, that’s where this card was born.  

Using these products from MFT:  LLD All-Star High Top Dienamics, and the Everything Wonderful card Kit dies (couldn’t find them in the store), with the Everything Wonderful Sentiments.  



Building this adorable shoe was so fun!  I did all the assembling first and then punched holes into the design to form some flowers (and I’m no expert at this), and then stitching with some embroidering floss.  

Then I created the background with a die from The Greetery Aida Cloth.  I creates texture and is a nod to the embroidery.  


Then I added in all the pretty stitchable flowers from the kit in coordinating colours, and the stamped sentiment.  


This gives you an idea of the kind of inspiration I’ve been influenced by, so great aren’t they?
