I'm constantly amazed over the creative people I come across in blogland. I've been stalking Tina's blog, Travelingmama for quite some time, and yesterday she started a new challenge based on photos from her travels and future readers' photographs, Traveler's Inspiration Challenge {one}. I love Tina's photo of colorful Moroccan slippers with all their sparkle and bling! The beaded medallion on the slippers immediately reminded me of the Stampin' Up! stamp set, True Friend. My eyes were drawn to the three slippers on the right in the red, light pink, and dark pink. My Stampin' Up! color translation is Riding Hood Red, Melon Mambo, and Regal Rose.
Each medallion is cut out, and raised up on Stampin' Dimensionals. I added Stickles glitter glue for paper crafting (non-SU) to each medallion ... X-mas Red for Riding Hood Red, Fruit Punch for Melon Mambo, and Cotton Candy for Regal Rose.

Gorgeous card Nancy, love the sparkliness of it!
Oh, wow! This is truly fantastic! I love all the layers and the colors you chose really do reflect the slippers! And, of course, the glitter is just the perfect finishing touch! Gorgeous!! I am truly honored to have you join us!
Hugs from Morocco!
Wow, this is a gorgeous card. I love the stamp you picked to use. It's perfect.
Hi Nancy,
Lots of fun! You captured the Moroccan inspiration perfectly as I remember it from my 1975 trip. You might look at the new Circle Circus too. It has a stamp that also reflects that same feel.
True Friend is one of my favorite stamp sets as early on in it's release I used this stamp to create Christmas ornaments. If you cut out the center circle with a circle punch you can create a spinner (requires two sets of base and inner circle and some fine linen thread) and then add additional centers as dangle pieces. If you're making a few hundred like I usually do the Scallop circle punch works really well.
Thanks for sharing - Jean
