Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! Go and see all the fun treasures there!
To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor paper. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat,and made a mat also. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped some of the paper off, and brushed on white gesso. I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers. I taped on flowers,chipboard, and taped and glued on beads and other items. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I made thin layers of them. I rubbed on gold and pearl mica powder on different areas.
I made the flowers out of polyester chiffon, there are six layers of three different sizes. I dyed them with Peacock's Plume, then held each layer over a candle to make the edges curl up. I sewed the layers together and glued a pearl on. I tried doing the edges before I dyed the layers, and it worked much better. The paint burns very easily and the edges got blackened.
To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,sisal,tulle, crystals,a shell,pearls, glass glitter, chipboard,flowers,and bling and metal from my stash.
Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.
Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!
