Ribbons, Lace, and Good Intentions: Reneabouquets Artists With An Edge November 2020 Moodboard Challenge

Hi everyone! It's November, 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.

To make this page I applied clear gesso to 49 And Market paper.

I put the layers under the photo together,starting with an image by Pion Papers taped on some watercolor paper. Below that is a watercolor paper mat, 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. There are 4 layers of very thick corrugated in total. Each layer is about twice as thick as regular corrugated.

I put the layers with the photo onto the page, on top of pieces of Graphic 45 papers.

I applied Prima Platinum crackle paste with a stencil and an old credit card. I picked out Beautiful Board,and sponged on gesso.

I painted some of the Beautiful Board with Pixie Dust Blingz by Shimmerz, and rubbed on silver mica powder on top, and left others plain.

To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads,glass glitter, glass beads,rhinestones,swarovski crystals, acrylic crystals,lichen,feathers,sisal, cheesecloth, shells,black and white tulle,metal from Reneabouquets,and Vintaj,flowers from Reneabouquets,Prima,and bling and metal from my stash. Most of the things are glued on individually with Glossy Accents. There are fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers. I rubbed on Brilliant Gold and Silver Mica powder around the background. I painted around papers with brown, green, and pale peach watercolors by Shimmerz Paints.

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