Cinderellie's Slipper

Happy Tuesday, it is hard to explain, but I will try it this way.  Have you ever done the one thing in life you always wanted to do but only sort of?  Well I feel like that is what I have been doing for the last 11 years until I found the Cameo, don't get me wrong I love what I have done in the last 11 years, I just always knew there was more, lol.   To be able to bring my art to life through the Cameo has been exciting and just more fun than I can ever explain.   I love Fairy Tales and collect them, I have loved them since I was old enough to sit and listen and one of my all time favs, "Cinderella".   Cinderella was first written about in 1634 or there abouts by Giambattista Basiles La gatta Cenerentola and then in 1695 Charles Purrault rewrote it.  While browsing over at Scrapbookgraphics I found a designer Priss Designs, who not only knew the above information but about the differences in the story, the original had fairies and a cat, a dove and threaded slippers, Charles Purrault added the pumpkin, the mice and the glass slipper, she has created this awesome kit and in the kit was my background paper for today.  I love the surrealism look of it and decided to do my own elements to add in, so I did the pumpkin, the mushrooms, the grass border and the glass slipper.  All colored with my Copic markers.  The hardest was the slipper, I did it entirely with B02 and 0 (a lot of 0), first I did a line drawing of the slipper and then I turned it into just a cut file because I did not want any outlines on the cutout.  I positioned it on the steps so I could do a flare out with the sun peeking through the storm clouds shinning on it.  I added some thin wire to the pumpkin for its tendrils, I love big chucky misshaped pumpkins and wanted one that resembled a coach.

Our weather looked like my background all day yesterday as I worked on this. I hope you enjoyed my fun with Cinderellie and that you are off to a great week, hugs
