Look For the Magic


Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new design team page for the amazing Reneabouquets! I love all the beautiful things I find there, they're a pleasure to work with!

I have used a photo from free google, by A.M. Lorek.




To make this page I applied clear gesso to Happy Accident 2 paper, by Blue Fern Studios. I put texture paste on with a stencil, then put the layers under the photo together: I taped on card stock under the image to make it stronger. Below that is a layer of watercolor paper, and at the bottom is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most of the paper from cardboard, and painted it with gesso. I put layers of foam core board between everything, to add dimension.




I picked out Beautiful Board, painted it with gesso, then Shimmerz Paints, and topped it with a thick coat of Clear Rock Candy Crackle. I glued on some lace, then the Beautiful Board.






To add visual interest I added micro beads, glass glitter,mica flakes, seed beads, pearls, Swarovski crystals, glass beads,black tulle, dyed gauze, pressed flowers and leaves,lichen, flowers from Reneabouquets and Prima, metal from RB, Tim Holtz, and Vintaj, and more bling and metal from my stash. 





I used a lot of Shimmerz Paints in shades of lavender, green, and pink. I also used black gesso on the edges of the corrugated and watercolor paper to add definition. I splashed on Higgins white ink with a small brush for highlights all over the page. 





I rubbed on Pearlex Gold Mica Powder on a lot of the surfaces, to add definition.





I drew out the colors of the photo onto the watercolor paper,and added micro beads and metal glitter in a few areas.





At the top and bottom of the page, and on a lot of the surfaces I rubbed on Prima Green Brocade and White Gold Wax. 
I used glossy accents to glue on the diamond chunky glitter glass ,micro beads,seed beads, and metal glitter onto the corrugated. Later I brushed on different colors of Shimmerz Paints over all the glitter an beads.
The round dark item at the left of the photo is a giant bead cap. I glued some rhinestones inside.





I dry brushed Prima Steampunk Copper Acrylic Paint onto some of the raised areas of the page.
When I was done with the page, I used some Prima Stamps, one was a script stamp, and the other some from Finnabair.





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

A Card and Three ATCs


Hi everyone! Here's my new design team post for Reneabouquets! I love all the amazing things I find there!




To make the card I applied texture paste with a stencil onto watercolor paper.  I used Graphic 45 Bloom Collection in the center, and got my inspiration from it's colors. I painted chipboard with gesso, watercolors, then dripped on a thick coat of Clear Rock Candy crackle. 





I used Shimmerz Paints on the paper. To add visual interest I applied micro beads, seed beads,glass beads, glass glitter,sequins, pearls, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals,tiny pieces of gold lace and tulle,dyed threads of gauze, sisal, pressed flowers, lichen, and leaves. As a last step I added gold mica powder by Pearlex, patting some on, and using a fan brush to flick some on as well. 






The ATCs are two layers of watercolor paper and one of Graphic 45,with foam core board in between them. The metal scissors and crown are from Reneabouquets.





The pressed yellow flowers are buttercups from a local park.





I dyed some Tim Holtz ribbon and put it through a 7 Gypsies pin. The spoon there has some patina glass beads by Reneabouquets.






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

Collect Beautiful Moments



Hi everyone, Melissa here with a design team page for Reneabouquets! I love all the amazing things I find there! This photo is from free google, by A.M. Lorek.






To make this page I applied clear gesso to Happy Accident 2 paper, by Blue Fern.I put texture paste on with a stencil, then put the layers under the photo together. I taped on card stock under the image to make it stronger. Below that is a layer of watercolor paper. At the bottom is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most of the paper from cardboard, and painted it with gesso. I put layers of foam core board between everything, to add dimension.





I picked out Beautiful Board, painted it with first gesso, then Shimmerz Paints, and topped it with a thick coat of Clear Rock Candy Crackle. The moth is from Tim Holtz Washi Tape.









To add visual interest I added micro beads, glass glitter, distress glitter, glitter glue,mica flakes, small pieces of iridescent wrap and lace, sequins, seed beads, pearls, Swarovski crystals, glass beads, pressed flowers, a Prima flower,lichen, a Reneabouquets bee, metal from Vintaj, bling and metal from my stash, shells, a glass pebble, and paper from Stamperia. There are a couple fussy cut fairies from Graphic 45.




The black item at the right is a large bead cap.




The netting type material at the bottom came on a ribbon type roll. It was brown, I painted it with gesso.




I added gauze that I'd dyed with Shimmerz Christmas Cheer.




I glued on iridescent wrap underneath the glass pebble to the left of the photo.



I poured crackle accent on the raised areas of the stenciling. Later, I painted around some of them.
All the brown paint was added to give the page some contrast.




I dabbed a little gold mica powder all around to sort of tie things together.  Finally, I added a small amount of stamping with a Prima stamp.
Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!

I painted chipboard from Reneabouquets with First Blush, Penny 4 Your Thoughts, and Greener Pastures Inklingz. I added a thick layer of Ranger Clear Rock Candy Crackle. I used the same colors on the rest of the card.


To add visual interest I applied micro beads, seed beads,glass beads, glass glitter,sequins, pearls, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals,tiny pieces of gold lace and tulle,pressed flowers, lichen, and leaves,and a butterfly from Reneabouquets.






I added a few wisps of dyed gauze and sisal.













The ATCs are also made with watercolor paper on two layers of Prima's Spring Farmhouse. I applied texture paste with Tim Holtz's Speckle stencil.I painted the chipboard with Green Olive Shimmerz, then the crackle layer. 




The butterflies and flowers are from Reneabouquets. The pins are from 7 Gypsies, with dyed silk ribbon from Tim Holtz and Hobby Lobby. 





The gold layer is mica powder and water. I added some black tulle on the bottom layer.


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

Great Things Take Time





Hi everyone, Melissa here with my new design team page for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! I have used a photo from free google, by A.M. Lorek.  






To make this page I applied clear gesso to Blue Fern paper, Happy Accident 2. I put texture paste on with a Prima stencil,then put the layers with the photo together. I added the photo with a layer of cardstock taped on, then watercolor paper. I put layers of foam core board under the photo, and under the watercolor paper.




I picked out chipboard from Reneabouquets, and painted it with Penny For Your Thoughts ,then  I dribbled on a thick layer of Clear Rock Candy Crackle with a paintbrush. On the watercolor paper under the photo I used the penny color, First Blush , and Good As Gold Inklingz.





To add visual interest I applied micro beads, seed beads, glass glitter,sequins, pearls, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals,shells,tulle, tiny pieces of gold lace,pressed flowers, lichen, and leaves, a butterfly from Reneabouquets,  Prima,Vintaj,and Tim Holtz metal, and chain and bling from my stash. 






The blue color around the photo layers is Blue My Mind Inklingz, and the Penny colors.The little fussy cut fairy by the photo on the others on the page are from Graphic 45 Fairy Frost.





The flower is by Prima, the title sticker is from Tim Holtz.




I patted on gold mica power around the page to highlight and kind of tie things together.



I added paint to micro beads and glitter, and around many of the items.





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