For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, My Dreams Are Made Of Sand And Sea

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

To make this page, 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. The bottom layer of cardboard has gesso that I poured Ultra Thick Embossing Powder onto,and heated till it was just melted. A lot of it's covered up with tulle and paint.

I arranged Reneabouquet Beautiful Board, and flowers on the watercolor paper, then added the beads and other items.I brushed on Shimmerz Paints, and glued on more beads. I applied jaquard gold and silver mica powder with my fingers on the raised parts of the page, and also on a lot of textured items.

To add visual interest I added micro beads,glass beads,copper leaf, glass glitter,Swarovski crystals,sequins, tulle, sisal,flowers,and bling and metal from my stash. A lot of the items 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.

Inklingz: First Blush, Spotlight White, I Love You Onyxly, Blue My Mind, Penny 4 Your Thoughts ,Imperial Amethyst, Honeymoon, She Packs A Punch,

Shimmerz: Precious Metal, Peacock's Plume, Teal The End Of Time, Winter's Mist, So Sappy,

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

This is made with an old photo of my daughter-in-law Aron, and her cousin Tayler. Their Grandmother took the photo, her favorite one of them, when the little ones were told to say goodbye to each other. I made the page as a gift.
