| L20860 Ballet Slippers Large B13902 Thank Goodness |
These shoes aren't my design, but I was so happy with the way this card turned out, I just had to share it today! Alesa Baker has a whole bunch of dance and ballet themed stamps in this release, but since I had this brand new Yellow Brick Road stencil to play with, as soon as I saw the shoes I thought a Wizard of Oz inspired card would be so fun!
I colored the shoes with Copics, using a stippling technique, and then covered them with Wink of Stella for some added sparkle. The background was watercolored, stenciled with dye ink, and then watercolored some more to add shadows.
Be sure to check out the other designers' blogs for inspiration - you'll find a full list of their names on the I.O. Blog!
