Ribbons, Lace, and Good Intentions: Reneabouquets Artist With An Edge February 2020 Moodboard Challenge, Move Ever Forward

Hi everyone! It's February, which means there is a new mood board challenge in the Reneabouquets Artists With an Edge Facebook Group.

In case you are new to my blog, we do a mood board challenge every month in the Reneabouquets Artists With an Edge Facebook Group. Everyone who enters a new project using items from Reneabouquets, gets entered into a chance to win a Reneabouquets prize package at the end of the month.

Here is the kick off project that I made for this month's challenge.

I've used a photo from free google, from Stella de Libero.

To make this page I put texture paste on watercolor paper with a stencil and an old credit card. I sprinkled on UTEE,ultra thick embossing powder on, and melted it with a heat gun.

I put the layers under the photo together,starting with taping 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 the top of the cardboard, and painted it with gesso. I put two layers of cardboard between the layers to add dimension.

I put the layers with the photo onto the page.

I picked out Beautiful Board, applied gesso with a brush, painted with different colors of Art Alchemy and Shimmerz Paints, and applied a thick layer of Clear Rock Candy Crackle. I glued the BBoard onto the page.

I painted the background with pink,blue, brown,lavender, and peach shades of Shimmerz Paints. I topped them with some Higgins white ink and silver mica powder.

To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, gold leaf,glass glitter, glass beads, pearls, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones,sequins, pressed flowers and leaves, cheesecloth,gold lace, shells,metal from Reneabouquets,Tim Holtz, flowers from Reneabouquets,Prima and bling and metal from my stash. There's some fussy cut pieces from the Graphic 45 Bloom collection.

I combined different colors of Shimmerz and Sparks Art Alchemy Paints on the corrugated.

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