"For it is in giving that we receive."
-St. Francis of Assisi-
It seems like a lot of things slip by me these days as I am trying to juggle too much and my 400th post has come and gone, I am now posting my 414th. So, since February has made a shockingly quick appearance and it is my 414th post and Valentine's Day is on February 14th I thought I'd just roll it all together into one big celebration and have a give away.
I had one pretty pink altered slipper art kit left and thought it would make a perfect prize!
Carmen's Cameo Slipper
This one~of~a~kind hot pink, black, and white altered shoe belongs to Carmen, a Can Can dancer, and has high kickin' contrast.This kit is filled with this tri~colored pallet of items to create three art tags.
This hot pink satin dyed shoe had been refurbished from the inside out from its black and white papered inside and flocked sole, to its smart gimp trim to its paper ruffled toe and vintage cameo, to its stylish lace heel bow.
ART KIT CONTAINS:A VINTAGE PHOTO of Carmen, wrapped in THREE YARDS OF TRIM, 1 yard of tone on tone floral printed satin ribbon, 1 yard of vintage black hem lace, and 1 yard of mini black gimp. RHINESTONE HAIR PIN and PAPER ROSE.
THREE HAND DYED STAMPED TAGS, ready for embellishing.
THREE HAND DYED STAMPED TAGS, ready for embellishing.
A FLOCK OF PAPER PUNCH BIRDS (9) and PAPER PUNCH CIRCLES (12).
THREE BLACK AND WHITE FLOCKED PAPER ROSETTES with mirrored centers, FAUX PEARL BEADS (6), RASPBERRY TEAR DROP BEADS (6).
THREE YARDS OF VINTAGE PATTERNED CREPE PAPER, 1 yard of each pattern shown below.
Carmen is a tad eccentric and she keeps company with a PET CROW, Cameo, who revels in all her shiny stuff and will accompany the kit.
