Ribbons, Lace, and Good Intentions: Stay Strong,a Giveaway for Reneabouquets Beautiful Board 2 Year Anniversary

Hi everyone!

Reneabouquets Beautiful Board Is turning 2 this month!! And if you've happened to read up on some of the info in a Beautiful Board listing in Renea's Store, you'd see it goes a little something like this...

"What makes it sooooo beautiful? Beautiful Board, or B Board for short, was created with both Artists and their environment in mind. Each design was drawn from scratch with details that true artists crave in their products. B Board is manufactured in house in the Reneabouquets studio, using 100% virgin pulp that gives it over twice as many fibers as regular chipboard for amazing durability, and because it is virgin pulp, not recycled pulp there are no chemicals, or additives that the artist or their environment can be exposed to."

Your chance to win this is waiting for you on the

Artist's With An Edge
group page on facebook, share the giveaway announcement post and let us know what your favorite Beautiful Board is!! I'll draw a winner on Wednesday, September 18th. This is only for the U.S.A. If the winner doesn't contact me within 3 days I'll pick another.

To make this page I stenciled texture paste onto watercolor paper, and painted it with Shimmerz Paints.

I painted on gesso, Shimmerz Paints,Prima Gold Alchemy Paint, and Clear Rock Candy Crackle onto the BBoard. I added the flowers, and all the rest of embellishments. The lattice work only has Prima paint on it, and the flourishes have crackle with gold paint on top, then more crackle on that.

To add visual interest I added micro beads, glass glitter,metal glitter,seed beads, pearls, glass beads,Swarovski crystals,rhinestones,pressed flowers and leaves, strands of gauze,small pieces of black tulle,gold lace, and iridescent wrapping paper, pink tulle trim,gold leaf,shells,metal from Reneabouquets,Tim Holtz, flowers from Reneabouquets and Prima, and bling and metal from my stash. I spread Glossy Accents on for the microbeads,glitter and seed beads,and sprinkled them on.

I used white, gold and black Amsterdam ink to outline things, and splashed on the white all over. You can see gold mica powder on almost everything on the page, and I rubbed on a little Green Brocade and White Gold Prima Wax to raised areas.
