To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto 49 and Market paper. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat,and then added two mats of watercolor paper. I put pieces of corrugated cardboard in between the mats.

I glued on beads and other items.

 I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I rubbed on gold and pearl mica powder on a lot of the background and raised areas on the page.






To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,pearls, crystals, glass glitter, tulle, feathers, lace,gold leaf, shells, iridescent wrapping paper,and bling and metal from my stash.
      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.   





 Inklingz:  Plum CrazyBahama Mama, and Spotlight White.


      Shimmerz: Going Peach Side, Rita On The Rocks, and Colder Than Ice.










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