Bootiful Christmas

I just got this darling SU set and could not wait to get it dirty. Whoo Hoo. I love these darling boots in this set, especially this one. I stamped the image twice on vanilla and once on cherry cobbler. I cut the boot out from the cherry cobbler and the top and balls on the end of the ties from one of the vanilla stampings, popped them up on dimensionals, then paper pieced it all together. LOVIN' how it turned out.
I guess I was in a faux stitching mood huh? cause I did it on all layers. Oh well, hope that means it will stay together longer.
