Reneabouquets Artists With An Edge August 2020 Moodboard Challenge

Hi everyone! It's August, which means there is a new mood board challenge in the Reneabouquets Artists With an Edge Facebook Group

In case you are new to my blog, we do a mood board challenge every month in the Reneabouquets Artists With an Edge Facebook Group. Everyone who enters a new project using items from Reneabouquets, gets entered into a chance to win a Reneabouquets prize package at the end of the month. 

Here is the kick off project that I made for this month's challenge.

To make this page I applied clear gesso to 49 and Market's Sonnet paper, from the Irrevocable Beauty Collection.

  I put the layers under the photo together,starting with taping on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat. Below that is a watercolor paper mat, and at the bottom is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most of the paper from the top of the cardboard, and painted it with gesso. I sprinkled on Ultra Thick Embossing Powder on, and heated it.I put two or three layers of cardboard between the layers to add dimension. 

I put the layers with the photo onto the page.

I had already painted the page with clear gesso. I applied Prima Platinum crackle paste with a stencil and an old credit card. I picked out Beautiful Board, and sponged on gesso. The Beautiful Board flourish to the right of the photo is Olive U Truly, a pale green watercolor by Shimmerzpaints, topped with Clear Rock Candy Crackle. I used pale greens and blues, and a shimmery brown color over the mat, corrugated, and background paper.             






To add visual interest I added Printed Beautiful Board, micro beads, seed beads, gold leaf,glass glitter, glass beads, pearls, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones,sequins, pressed flowers and leaves,strands of gold cheesecloth,gold lace, black tulle, off white tulle trim,iridescent wrapping paper,rub ons,wire,metal from Reneabouquets and Vintaj,flowers from  Reneabouquets,Prima,shells,glass pebbles, and bling and metal from my stash. Most of the things are glued on individually with Glossy Accents. There are some fussy cut images from Graphic 45 and Prima papers.

I used a lot of Citrine Pearlex Mica Powder on the raised surfaces. I rubbed it on with my finger. I later added turquoise and green. I painted the edges of the layers layers mica powder, and Shimmerzpaints.















 Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!
