For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, While Time Will Fade, These Hoofprints, The Ones Left On Your Heart, Will Never Disappear.

 

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. While it was wet I sprinkled on UTEE and heated it. I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the  mats. I taped on a flower and items, then glued on beads and other items. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I rubbed on gold mica powder on different  areas. I painted watercolor flowers and leaves with Twinklinz on watercolor paper and cut them out. I put them at the bottom and sides around the photo.





To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, glass beads, crystals, glass glitter,sequins, chipboard, tulle,flowers,feathers,gold leaf, and bling and metal from my stash.  A lot of                                        the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.                                        









              









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

For The Reneabouquets Design Team, At Christmas, All Roads Lead Home


Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new post for the amazing Reneabouquets. Go and see                 all the beautiful treasures there!

I made Christmas ornaments with the Printed Beautiful Board. They have the same image on both sides, with gold thread glued in the middle. They're lightly glued on the page. I'll pull them off and put them on the tree.

To make this page, I put Prima Platinum crackle paste on watercolor paper with a stencil and a small spatula.

 I taped on a layer of watercolor paper underneath the photo to help it to lie flat. I added a layer of corrugated cardboard and a watercolor paper mat.  I added another layer of cardboard and a bottom                                                                            layer of corrugated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
I arranged the Beautiful Board,and other items around the page. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints, and glued on more beads,using Glossy Accents. Anytime I glued items on I sprinkled on Gawdie Girl Diamond Shard German Glitter Glass on top of the glue. I rubbed on gold, and pearl mica powder in different areas.
                                       





To add visual interest I added micro beads,seed beads, glass glitter, crystals,glass beads,tulle,fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers,Reneabouquets metal items,and bling from my stash.I used glossy accents and double sided foam tape to adhere items to the page.
