Shimmerz Paints DT Canvas, "Magic In The Air", by Melissa Larson

 

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new design team post, an 8x10 canvas, for the amazing Shimmerz Paints, I love their rich texture and colors!    

To make this canvas I first covered the canvas with white gesso.I stenciled on crackle paste. I arranged all the items,including a lot of fussy cut images from Graphic 45 around the page. I added beads, and sprinkled glass glitter on the glue spots. A lot of the items are from Reneabouquets. I used several colors of Shimmerzpaints to paint with. I put gesso on pretty thick in some areas, to make negative space. I wanted a nice balanced composition, so I wound up taking some fussy cut pieces off, and covering up some of the textural things.

I used the following colors: Pixie Dust Blingz plus Shimmerz, Precious Metal, Teal The End Of Time and Peacock's PlumeShimmerz , Blue My Mind, Penny 4 Your Thoughts, Honeymoon, Plum Crazy, Greener Pastures, Imperial Amethyst,Miner Miner 49er,Dear John Letter, and Good As Gold Inklingz.

Dear John Letter isn't available anymore.

To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, glass glitter ,glass beads, pearls, rhinestones, swarovski crystals,sequins, glass hearts,tulle,sisal, iridescent wrapping paper,a feather from my yard, a Prima mould shapes,flowers from  Reneabouquets ,and bling and metal from my stash. Most of the things are glued on individually with Glossy Accents. The Beautiful Board is from Reneabouquets.
