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 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 of it also. I glued on canvas paper on top of corrugated cardboard. I added  layers of corrugated, flowers, glued on beads and other items, and I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.  I rubbed on gold, and pearl mica powder on different  areas. I brushed on white gesso to create some blank space on the paper. 





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 from my yard, copper leaf, and bling and metal from my stash.  A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.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!

I arranged the Beautiful Board,and other items around the page. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints, and glued on more beads,using Glossy Accents. I rubbed on gold  mica 
                                                                                 powder.
