Reneabouquets Design Team Post, Ephemera Queen ATCs, by Melissa Larson

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Reneabouquets. Go and see all the fun treasures there!

To make these cards I cut watercolor paper into 2.5 x 3.5 inches cards. I applied clear gesso,then stenciled on crackle texture paste with a spatula. I matted them on white cardstock.

I attached the Beautiful Board,flowers and images, from Graphic 45 Ephemera Queen. I added the beads, and then the Shimmerz paint.

To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads,glass glitter,iridescent wrapping paper,black tulle, pink tulle ,Swarovski crystals, glass beads, pearls,a flower from Reneabouquets,and bling from my stash. Most of the things are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.I used double sided foam tape for the flowers and some other things. I put a few layers of corrugated cardboard underneath the main image on each card.

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

Shimmerz Paints Design Team Post, Persephone, by Melissa Larson

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new design team post for the amazing Shimmerz Paints, I love their rich texture and colors!

To make this card I glued white cardstock on top of an 8" x 4" card made out of watercolor paper.

I applied clear gesso, then stencilled on crackle paste. I added all the elements.

As I glued things on, I sprinkled glitter glass on the glue that was exposed. I started painting with Shimmerz.

I used the following colors: Pixie Dust Blingz plus Shimmerz, It's Mint To Be, and Pool Me Closer Shimmerz , Blue My Mind, Penny 4 Your Thoughts, Pink- A -Boo, Good As Gold, and Olive U Truly Inklingz. As a final step, I brushed on dry Aqua Tinsel Embossing Powder.

Most of the things are glued on individually with Glossy Accents. The Printed Beautiful Board is from Reneabouquets.

To make these cards I used watercolor paper, 2.5 x 3.5 inches. I applied white gesso. I used a script stamp with versamark and white embossing powder, then stenciled on crackle texture paste. I covered them with black gesso,then matted them on black cardstock.

I attached the flower and images, from Graphic 45 Woodland Creatures first . I added the chipboard, beads, and then the paint. I mixed colors together, and kept adding more. I rubbed on gold mica powder on raised surfaces and edges. Some of the chipboard has gold embossing powder on it, and some has gold mica powder with water.

I used the following colors on the ATC: Pixie Dust Blingz plus Shimmerz, Peacock Plume, Shimmerz , Blue My Mind, Penny 4 Your Thoughts, Steely Blue Eyes, Run Forest Run,and Oakie Bear Blue.

Reneabouquets Design Team Page, "Pink Satin Gown", by Melissa Larson

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Reneabouquets. Go and see all the fun treasures there!

Photo credit: Tamara Bellis, at Unsplash.

To make this page, I first applied clear gesso to Blue Fern paper.

I put the layers under the photo together,starting with taping on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat. Below that is a piece of canvas I glued on cardboard. I put a layer of Prima Platinum Crackle on top of the canvas. I put the layers all on the page. When the crackle was dry it didn't have cracks, because I didn't put it on thick enough. I painted it with Shimmerzpaints, Amsterdam White Ink, Inktense watercolor pencil in Bark color,and gold mica powder. I wanted to draw out the colors and textures of the photo, onto the canvas around it.

I applied Prima Platinum crackle paste on the background paper with stencils and a spatula.I arranged the Beautiful Board and flowers around the page, then added the beads and fussy cut images.I brushed on Shimmerz Paints, and glued on more beads. I applied gold mica powder with my fingers on a lot of edges and raised areas. I dry brushed on Prima pink Sparks paint on random spots. I put more paint in layers, and mica powder, to complement the colors of the photo. There's a little blue Prima wax too.

To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads,glass glitter,gold leaf,sequins,iridescent wrapping paper,sisal,gold thread, lace,black tulle, white tulle, pressed and dried flowers,white ink splatters,Swarovski and other brands of crystals, glass beads, pearls,metal from Reneabouquets,Tim Holtz, and Vintaj,flowers from Reneabouquets,and bling and metal from my stash. Most of the things are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.I used double sided foam tape for the flowers and some other things,and to put the cardboard layers together. I alos added tiny flower images from Graphic 45, Tim Holtz, and Botanist Sticker Anthology.
