I have a project today I made especially for several challenges: the Week 21, Black & White Anything Goes Challenge and the Top Tip Tuesday Challenge.
This project would be great for Father's Day, a male graduate, or just for a special guy you just look up and admire -- for me that's my hubby! He inspires most of the gift ideas I have for men:
This set includes two (2) boxes: the shoe and the hat; and a card. I inserted a pair of socks into the shoes for this demonstration, but I can think of also a tie, a nice hanky, golf balls, etc.
Here is a close up of the outer card and the inside:
I found the shoe image on the internet and copied it. The shoe on the front of the card I enlarged to size, cut it out, and added 2 coats of Glossy accents for dimension; then I pop-dotted it to the card. The smaller shoes I just inserted them on the front of the card in Microsoft Word. The shoe on the inside, I used a photo editing program to remove/erase the color from inside the shoe so that I could insert the sentiment; I saved the image and then inserted it onto the inside of the card in Microsoft Word.
Well, I hope you all like this gentlemen's gift trio!!!
I'll be back, so I'll be seeing you!!!

You got me with the gentlemen only thing. Didn't know 'what' I was about to open. LOL! This is fabulous! Just fantastic. Adore the shoe. And yesterdays transparency roll was amazing as well. How creative are you?!
Love this!!! What a great Father's Day gift idea!!! Where did you find the template??
Audrey, you are so talented - I love your shoe...
Audrey, you are an awesome crafter; you come up with the most amazing ideas. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you all for you comments!
Lori, I knew I'd get asked about the shoe template. I wish I could take credit for this but a friend did the cut.file for this shoe. I would love to share it, but I don't have permission to publish it, and she doesn't blog --she sells her items in her shop. I really had to beg to get this! BUT... I'm definitely working on designing my own cut.file to have -- and to share! You WILL know when I have it done!
Oops!!! I don't want to get into trouble, so let me correct my above comment and clarify -- I'll be "redesigning" my own cut.file for a man's shoe.
fabulous! I was reading my blogs in Google reader and saw this wonderful creation!!!!
audrey....fabulous job and good luck.
