Hey Crafty People!
Today we are celebrating a brand new Alex Syberia Designs release with a fun IG hop, so if you want the chance to win a gift voucher for Alex’s store head on over to join the fun!
As soon as I saw these GORGEOUS shoes from this release I just knew I had to colour them!!
I don’t wear anything like this these days, chronic pain and a pretty serious chance of falling over when standing even without heels kind of put a stop to that!
So I decided to live vicariously through this pair of beauties!!!
Before I printed them I added a quote from the one & only Marilyn Monroe, because it is just too perfect for words.
Then I printed it and trimmed down to an a2 size.
I coloured the shoes themselves in with a single red because I knew I was going to emboss them, but I didn’t want any white showing through the embossing.
Then I coloured the bows in, here I used a blend of 4 different reds to create the shadows and highlights. It was pretty simple to do because Alex has provided the folds in her illustration, so I just added the darkest shadow there and worked out to the highlights.
I coloured the inside of the shoes a sort of tan colour which the inside of a pair of my shoes just happen to be.
Again, adding shadow with darker colours and blending out to the lighter ones.
Then I used my embossing magic buddy thing, all over because I knew there would be finger prints and all such that would pick up the embossing powder!
I coloured the whole of the shoe with Ultra Slow Drying Ink using my WOW embossing pen and then I tipped on Ruby Romance embossing glitter.
I LOVE how that turned out once I heat set it!!!
I finished my shoes with some ‘pearls’ courtesy of Trinity Stamps ‘Something New’ baubles.
So that’s my card!
I’m pretty happy with it!!!
Don’t forget to head over to Instagram to join the hop!
