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

I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor paper. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat, and  made a mat too. I added  layers of corrugated cardboard. I taped on flowers, glued on beads and other items, and I brushed on                                            Shimmerz Paints.  I rubbed on silver and gold mica powder on different areas. 






To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, glass beads, swarovski crystals ,acrylic crystals, glass glitter, silver wire, silver thread,a blue jay feather, sequins, pressed flowers, copper leaf, iridescent wrapping paper, sisal, chipboard, tulle, flowers, and bling and metal from my stash.  A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents. Many of the textural items are from Reneabouquets.






                      Inklingz:  First Blush,  Steely Blue Eyes  Blue My Mind, and   Spotlight White.

To make this page, I applied a layer of clear gesso on Prima paper and let it dry. I put Prima Platinum crackle paste on with a stencil and a small spatula.


I cut the photo to fit the frame and used double sided foam tape to stick it on. I taped on 3 layers of corrugated cardboard under the image and frame to give dimension, and I wanted space to put items                                                                           underneath it.                                                                                                                                                                                                        

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,using Glossy Accents. I rubbed on gold, and silver mica powder. 

 


To add visual interest I added micro beads,seed beads, glass glitter,glass beads,swarovski crystals,sequins,sisal,tulle, dried flowers, and bling from my stash,.I used glossy accents to adhere items to the page. For flowers I used double sided foam tape.

 I taped on a layer of watercolor paper underneath the photo to help it to lie flat. I added layers of corrugated cardboard and then a watercolor mat. I added more layers of cardboard and a bottom layer of corrugated that I glued tulle on.
