I gave the shoe a couple coats of Rheotech white
gesso, both inside and outside and on the sole. Then I smeared self adhesive
beads Pearl by Fashion Beadz all over the heel. allowed that to dry
overnight.
Then smeared Liquitex glass beads all over the
outside of the shoe, and while wet, sprinkled Ritz micro fine glitter Stardust.
Allowed that to dry thoroughly.
While the beads were drying, I electronically cut
several sizes and shapes of snowflakes from white cardstock, always making pairs
to glue one to the back of another after decorating it, so it would have a
finished look from both sides as well as adding strength. I also punched some
smaller ones using Martha Stewart snowflake punch and Paper Shapers punches.
These are some of the decorative applications to
them starting with Perfect Medium.
This big one used Stamp Barn Northern Lights and
then an iridescent white glass half glob.
The big one below with the large star rhinestone was
done with Stampendous Winter Wonderland.
The one on the back of the shoe was done with
Judikins Psychedlic and then I added 3 sizes of silver half pearls to each prong
and a multi faceted rhinestone in the center.
All the small punched ones were done on decorated
paper I made, smearing the white cardstock with a glue stick and then sprinkling
with Ritz Micro fine glitter in Stardust, and Warm Highlights, letting it dry
and then punching them.
Something I discovered was writing on vellum and
then clear embossing it. Stamping on vellum takes forever to dry if it dries at
all, so I usually give it a coat of clear embossing, so when I was using my Sumi
ink, the thought went through my head to try embossing that, since the ink would
stay wet for a long time, and it worked. It gave the ink a beautiful charcoal
color rather than the black it is, which was great for this, not so harsh. I
used a white pearlized vellum, so pretty.
Everything was adhered with Golden's Extra Heavy Gel
Medium.
