As regular readers may know I have reported on two crafty catastrophes in the last few days - firstly, the intended item for the May Art Draw has inexplicably disappeared following a bout of tidying up. Now there's a lesson if ever there was one.
Secondly, the proforma shoe made in advance of my Steampunk Cinderella project got squashed because I put a box on top of it. Accidentally of course. But all is not lost.
I am pleased to report that I have managed to rescue the squashed item and together with a couple of other rather fanciful additions it is now my offering for the May Art Draw. I have repaired the heel and altered the original design which was from a template from House of Zandra by adding a back to the shoe and lining it throughout (helped with the squashed bits lol).
Here they are in all their glory.
There is the reconditioned shoe (it really is fine!!), a fan, a little dance card and well, you might as well have the other flower. I'm thinking that some rather elegant young lady might be getting all prepared for a night of dancing and fun. I suppose she won't get far with just one shoe (although Cinderella did OK in the end) but I didn't have enough paper (or patience) for two. The colour is a little questionable but the DCWV paper is sooo pretty and being ready glittered added a lot of bling with very little effort. The fan is made from scraps of leftover papers and I confess is not perfect. It also lacks the satisfying 'snap' of other fans I have made (also here) and is all form with no function, but I can only hope you'll forgive me this little piece of whimsy.
If you would like to have these for your very own (!!!) all you have to do is leave a comment on this post before 9.00 pm on Friday 31st May and I will put you in the draw. Overseas players are welcome and please feel free to link from your own blogs (if you let me know you have done so I will put you in the draw twice).
I hope you like this project, the Cinderella shoe was so well received I thought it might strike a chord. Now all I have to do is find the other project and we'll be all set for June!!

A very beautiful make Cindy--I missed your mishaps as I had a few days off from blogging.

Hi Cindy
wow this shoe and fan are so very pretty the paper you have used is wonderful.
I have this shoe template and have only used it once as I found it a bit fiddly.
You have done a great job with it, PRETTY
Ria
Love this, Cindy. I don't think the colour is quetionable - the use of gold with the pink stops it being too pinky-pink if you know what I mean - and it's glamorous and fairy tale! I love your shoes - most unusual projects!
Shoshi

This is really beautiful.Love your colors. I have try my hand at one of these.
Yes, tidying up is the root of all evil ;)

Brenda
Ohh yummy, gimme, gimme!
I love your lesson about not tidying up. I don't need to learn that one though, lol, you should see my credroom (craft/bedroom) it's a wonder I can get into bed most nights.

Wow - this shoe is defintely ready for the ball! So pretty - colours are really soft. Never would have guessed it got squashed! x
Very lovely! I am changing out my picture in my sidebar from last month's draw to this one. I can't believe this was squashed. It looks great. I love the flowers.
Cindy this is absolutely stunning! I adored your Steampunk fairytale shoes as well so it was lovely to see another version here! Thanks for sharing with us at Our Creative Corner - Love from Laura xxx
I love your shoes.
Nydelige Give away.
