Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new design team post for the amazing Shimmerzpaints! I love their rich texture and colors!
To make this card I used paper from Prima's Christmas In The Country collection. I glued it on top of a card made from watercolor paper. I painted the paper with clear gesso, then applied texture paste with a stencil and spatula. I layered in elements with small pieces of corrugated cardboard and double sided foam tape to add dimension.
I painted the round chain chipboard with gesso, then Green Olive Shimmerz and Penny 4 Your Thoughts Inklingz. I layered on a thick coat of Clear Rock Candy Crackle.
I painted the background with Dear John Letter, Greener Pastures, and the Penny color. The rose under the girl's feet was lighter than I wanted it to be, so I added A Rose(By Any Other Name) Inklingz.
To add visual interest I glued on micro beads, seed beads,swarovski crystals,glass shard glitter,glass beads,pearls,iridescent wrapping paper,tulle,lace,pressed flowers and leaves,shells,fussy cut images from Prima and Graphic 45,flowers from Reneabouquets and Prima, metal from Reneabouquets,Prima,and Tim Holtz, and bling and metal from my stash.I put on some Tim Holtz rub ons on the bottom, but they don't show up much.I rubbed and flicked on gold mica powder.
Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!
