She Was Wishing

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 glued white cardstock on top of a card made from watercolor paper.  I painted the paper with clear gesso, then applied Prima Platinum Crackle texture paste with a stencil and spatula. I layered in elements with double sided foam tape to add dimension.

 I painted the chipboard  with gesso, then Pink -A- Boo and  Pugnacious Purple Inklingz. 

I painted the background with Dear John Letter, Pugnacious Purple. Greener Pastures ,Penny 4 Your Thoughts,  Brass Knuckles, Blue My Mind, Olive U Truly Inklingz, and  Pixie Dust, and  Green Olive Shimmerz.

To add visual interest I glued on micro beads, seed beads,gold leaf, sisal,swarovski crystals,glass shard glitter,glass beads,pearls, paper,tulle,pressed flowers,lichen,and leaves,shells,fussy cut images from Graphic 45,flowers from Reneabouquets, metal from Reneabouquets,and Vintaj,and bling and metal from my stash.I rubbed and flicked on Jaquard Brilliant Gold and Violet mica powder as one of the final steps.

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