So friends, ONE of you will have the chance to win a $25 gift certificate to the ColourArte store....
Because today is the day for the ColourArte Altered Shoe Blog Hop!:)
I adhered old lace fabric to the shoe with matte medium.
Next, I painted it with a coat or 2 of gesso to prep the surface for painting.
Then I painted the whole shoe with ColourArte Radiant Gel in Spiced Pumpkin.
Once that was dry, I went in with Silks Acrylic Glaze in Solar Gold on the raised surfaces. This really showcased the lace design.
The last step is to embellish! I used gold buttons!
I didn't want to add too much bulk to the front so I used an old bottle cap and added Golden Gold Mica Flakes.
