Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist – Iridescent Silver

Cut out the ATC shapes and fussy cut the lace trim and shoes from the paper.
Spray the shoes with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Iridescent Silver to give them some sparkle and shine.
Color the ATCs and lace with Tattered Angels Baseboard and Chalkboard Paint.
Adhere paper lace to the ATC bases with gel medium.
