Beccy’s Place Challenge this month has a sketch theme to follow. As with all her challenges Beccy provides a free image each month and this month was a pair of boots a great image for the men. As the boots come without laces I found a quote from Harry Styles to go with them, I hope he will not mind!
Materials used:
Beccy’s Place Boots (freebie available from challenge blog)
X-Cut square die set
X-Cut scalloped rectangle die
Cropodile
brown textured card and green card
X-Press It card
K & Company Life’s Journey London Map 12×12 paper
Vintage Photo Distress Ink
Copic pens
The boots and the quote are printed out together on X-Press It card and coloured with Copics then cut with a square die. A slightly larger mat is cut with the next size die.
The designer paper is cut with a scalloped edged rectangle die (I don’t have a square one). The card is assembled as in the picture with the two sizes of green circles punched out using a Cropodile.
The trickiest part of this card was cutting a scalloped square with only a scalloped rectangle. It was a case of careful positioning of the die so as not to cut in the wrong place.
I have coloured in a lot of boots over the past couple of years, not least because my youngest daughter’s wedding had a walking theme so the invites, place name card and order of service all had boots on. The place name cards had a very small pair of boots on them! Also since she, her husband and my husband are all keen walkers boots have appeared on several birthday cards. It’s a good job I like colouring boots!
Thanks for walking in. Take care.

Pippa you have done an amazing job with this image. Coloured beautifully and the sentiment is perfect too. Love the idea of the map designer paper in the background because those boots definitely look like they have done their miles. Nice work, I love it. Also loved reading about Pippa too. Thank you for sharing with us over here at “A Perfect Time To Craft” and best of luck with your entry.

Your card is awesome Pippa, the colouring is particularly eye catching. I love the two colours you used for the boots, you really did a great job, I can see you’ve had practice! You also did a great job lining up the rectangle die… I wouldn’t have know if I hadn’t read your blurb. The map looks fabulous in the background and coordinates perfectly with the old boots. Love it!
Cheers,
Beccy
