 To make this page, I applied a layer of clear gesso and let it dry. I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto Bo Bunny 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 gold mica powder on different areas. 






To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, glass beads, crystals, glass glitter,sequins, sisal,iridescent wrapping paper, chipboard, tulle,flowers,pressed flowers, an orange feather, sticks and pressed flowers from my yard, gold leaf, copper leaf,
and bling and metal from my stash.  A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.The metal clog and clock face above the orange flowers are from my friend Lisa Landry.The feathers are from my sister in law's Liz Rysdyk's, backyard. Many of the textural items are from Reneabouquets.










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

For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Charm Is The True Gift Of The Fairies


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

This is an 8 x 5 1/2 " journal I covered with watercolor paper. I wanted to be able to use it every day, so I didn't put as many items on as I usually do. I also wanted it to match my kitchen, so I used a lot of blue. Peacock's Plume and Blue My Mind are two of my all-time favorite colors.





 To make this cover, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture  Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor                                                                                        paper.
I taped on flowers,glued on beads and other items, and brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I rubbed on gold and aqua mica powder on different areas. I added some white gesso because things were gettting too busy looking.                       





To add visual interest I added seed beads, glass beads, crystals, glass glitter,sequins, sisal, chipboard, tulle, flowers,,shells, pearls,sealing wax, and bling and metal from my stash.  A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents. Some of the textural items are from Reneabouquets. I used fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers.






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

 To make this page, I put Prima Platinum crackle paste on watercolor paper with a stencil and a small spatula.

 I taped on a layer of watercolor paper underneath the photo to help it to lie flat. I added layers of corrugated cardboard and a watercolor paper mat.  I added more layers of cardboard and a bottom layer of corrugated. The bottom layer is covered with a piece of canvas.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    
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  mica powder.
