I attended the Cricut Stampede last Spring and we each received this wood cut out of a cowboy boot. It has been sitting on a shelf in my craft room since I came home. Halloween usually shows a lot of witch's boots so I knew I had found an opportunity to use my cut out. I started by painting it black with some new paint from MS that I found at Michael's. I then covered it with this beautiful Halloween paper from Authentique.
I adeded some crepe paper ruffles to the edge of the boot which makes the boot very girly. I covered up my glue line with a piece of black trim. Things were going in the right direction.
I used 2 different papers and I wanted to stress that detail. So I added a line of glitter to make the transition more noticable. now, it's time for the little details.
I am learning to layer in details instead of feeling like everything I put in a project has to be immediatley seen at first glance. I am still working on this but I feel I did a good job here. I added some black swirl bling and layered a skull and crossbone cut on top. I covered the cut with Glimmer Mist in Graphite. I love the splattered look. I edged it with Spiced Marmalade ink. I plopped several loops of twine and some black roses at the beginning of the bling to complete the look.
I added another black swirl of crystals complete with a cluster of roses. I also added a few orange diamonoids to finish the look.
I edged the entire boot with Basic Black ink to give it more of an aged look. Do you love my kickin' witche's boot? I sure do! With boots like these, anyone could get into a little trouble! Until next time...
Smooches!
