For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Painting Is Poetry That Is Seen Rather Than Felt

 

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 49 and Market paper. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat, and  made a mat also. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped some of the paper off, and brushed on white gesso. While it was wet I sprinkled on UTEE and heated it. I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers. I taped on a flower, chipboard, and a shell, and taped and glued on beads and other items. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I rubbed on gold,blue,and pearl mica powder on different  areas. 



To add visual interest I added glass beads,sequins,gold leaf,sisal,tulle, crystals,a shell,pearls, glass glitter, chipboard,flowers,and bling and metal from my stash.
                                              A  lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.   
         
     



The flower to the right of the photo is made of polyester chiffon. I cut 4 layers of concentric circles and heated each of the edges seperately with a candle,I sewed the layers together and glued a pearl on top.





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

For The Reneabouquets Design Team, The Ocean Brings Eternal Joy To The Soul

                                                     

  Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new post for the amazing Reneabouquets! Go and see all the beautiful treasures there.  This is a 2 inch wide wooden box.


                                                      


To make this I took the hardware off so it would be easier to put paper on. I glued on pieces of Graphic 45 Make A Splash paper. I glued on pearls to make legs on the bottom. I brushed on clear gesso on all the surfaces.I applied texture paste with a stencil. I put the hardware back on. I used sandpaper to file down edges of paper that stuck out, then glued on the Beautiful Board and other items. I added some Shimmerz paint and mica powders.



To add visual interest I added glass glitter, crystals,glass beads,fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers, a shell, a feather, and gold leaf.






















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