New Shoes Week - Dawn Heald

Hi everyone,

It's the weekend again.....where do the days go, I'm quite pleased

 to see the afternoon lasting a little longer before getting

 dark...spring is on its way!

It's our last day of New Shoes week and Dawn

has created a really pretty little shoe for us.

Here is what Dawn said...

"My altered Paper mache shoe. I wanted to make a shoe fit for

 my young daughter, Katie. She claimed the shoe as soon as

 it arrived. I also wanted to do something different and something with no flowers. So here's my Butterfly Katie Shoe.

Cover shoe with Dreamweaver Pearlescent Embossing paste. For parts

 that need a lot of filling where surface is uneven, use white

 tissue paper over it, then blend in with more paste. I started with

 a plastic spatula then moved onto using my fingers to smooth out.

 It takes a bit of time but worth the effort. I did it in stages and 

did two layers. A tip, if paste is starting to dry to get a really smooth

 finish use a wet finger. I used a brush for the inside.

When dry, die cut swirls from double sided adhesive sheet. Stick around

 the shoe. Peel top protective layer off and cover with

 Distress Glitter.

 Press and lightly rub into sticky as the particles

 are larger. Brush excess off with a dry soft brush. Then use

 a clear iridescent glitter and sprinkle over. This catches any tiny

 patches of sticky left un-glittered. Sweep over dry brush again to

 clean shoe of excess glitter.

Next decorate shoe with clear gems as shown. Then cover with gloss 

varnish and let dry.

Stamp and emboss in silver the main butterfly stamp once and the

 small butterfly four times.
Paint butterflies with Turquoise and Magenta MixedMedia Misters

 and water. 

Cut out.

 Add to shoe as shown, along with ribbons. Then add some more gems and pearls coloured with Duck Egg Pro Marker.

The front bow is plain ribbon coloured with Pro Markers and the

 centre embellishment was made from a plain ring from a children's

 magazine a long time ago".

Well i think that is every little girls dream.....so pretty!
