Ribbons, Lace, and Good Intentions: A Clockwork Heart Can't Replace The Real Thing, For The Reneabouquets DT

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

To make this page, I coated 49 And Market paper with clear gesso, so the paint I planned on using didn't soak straight into the paper. I had clipped the paper to heavy cardboard to keep the paper flat.

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. I added layers of corrugated cardboard and a watercolor mat.

I applied Prima Platinum crackle paste on the paper with a stencil and a spatula.I arranged the Beautiful Board and flowers around the page, then added the beads and other items.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. There are different layers of paint.

To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads,glass glitter,a few Swarovski crystals, glass beads, pearls,feathers,shells, tulle,flowers and metal from Reneabouquets, and some 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,and to put the cardboard layers together. The owl at the top is from The Botanist's Sticker Anthology.

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