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 also. I glued canvas paper on top of corrugated cardboard.I made the fringe on the canvas by brushing the edges with water and ripping off the threads. I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the  mats. I taped on flowers, then glued on beads and other items. 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, chipboard, tulle,flowers,a dried yellow flower, copper leaf, and bling and metal from my stash.  A lot of                                        the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.

 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 watercolor 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. I used                                                             tulle to make things look less busy.







To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, glass beads, crystals,a shell, glass glitter, sisal,  chipboard, tulle,flowers, copper leaf, 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.

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 a layer of corrugated cardboard and a watercolor paper mat.  I added another layer of cardboard and a bottom                                                                            layer of corrugated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
I arranged the Beautiful Board,and other items around the page. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints, and glued on more beads,using Glossy Accents. Anytime I glued items on I sprinkled on Gawdie Girl Diamond Shard German Glitter Glass on top of the glue. I rubbed on gold and pearl mica powder in different areas.
                                                   





To add visual interest I added micro beads,seed beads, glass glitter, crystals,glass beads,tulle,gold leaf, iridescent wrapping paper,sisal,a feather,Reneabouquets metal items,and bling from my stash.I used glossy accents and double sided foam tape to adhere items to the page.
