Shoes can change your life!!!!



Hello All,

I had great fun making this card !!! The back ground is an image from "Make it Crafty"......they have the most gorgeous backgrounds in their store....far too many of them fell into my basket!!!
and the Cinderella image is " Krafting Kimmie"...the floral detail is again using my little "Kanban" stamp.

I coloured the background with copics....and then spayed over with a mica powder spray.....honestly i have had these mica powders for years and years.....and have only just started using them, now I have i am completely addicted...it means I keep pulling my iron out the cupboard to flatten my paper again......my hubby looked at me and said "its ok I knew you would not be getting the iron out to do something sensible like iron clothes!!"....cheek!!!!

Cinderella has also been coloured using copics...and then I have added extra sparkle with some "martha stewart" glitters.

All the edges have been inked with "distress ink - milled lavender"..... finally I have added some stitching, some flowers using old scrap paper...and some gems and pearls......Oh and the sentiment I created on the computer.

This is my entry for:

    What a fabulous scene you've created here, it's amazing. I saw that panto at Christmas! Love your ironing story. I think nothing about putting the iron on to iron crafty bits, but to actually iron clothes! Uggg, that's another story. LOL! keeleyxx
