For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Flowers Are Like Friends; They Bring Color To Your World


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 also. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped some of the paper off, and brushed on white gesso. I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers, 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 negative space, I brushed on gesso on the top and around the bottom of the page.





To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,tulle, crystals,pressed and dried flowers from my yard,gold leaf, feathers,pearls,a shell, glass glitter, fussy cut images from Graphic 45 paper, chipboard,and bling and metal from my stash. 
      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.   








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

For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Come To The Woods, For Here Is Rest

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 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 Ultra Thick Embossing Powder and heated it with a heat gun. I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers. I taped on  flowers,chipboard, and taped and glued on beads and other items. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I made thin layers of them. I rubbed on gold,blue, and pearl mica powder on different  areas. 

I made the flowers out of polyester chiffon, I cut out six layers of three different sizes. I then held each layer over a candle to make the edges curl up. I sewed the layers together and glued a pearl on. I dipped the flowers in a mix of First Blush, and Blue My Mind. I painted on more colors on the flower on the right side, Ultra Marine and Blue My Mind.





To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,tulle, crystals,pressed and dried flowers from my yard,a feather,pearls, glass glitter, fussy cut images from Graphic 45 paper, chipboard,flowers,and bling and metal from my stash.

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new post, a layout, for the amazing Reneabouquets. Go and see                                                                   all the beautiful treasures there!

                                   I love the adorable Printed Beautiful Board Tiny Baby Chicks In Blue Shoe Laser Cut                                         Chipboard!                               




To make this card I used watercolor paper, the finished size is 4 x 8". I stenciled on Prima Texture Crackle Paste on with a small metal spatula.

 I taped 3 layers of corrugated cardboard underneath the Printed Beautiful Board to to give it more dimension.

I arranged the other items around,then 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,white,yellow, and blue  mica powder in different areas.




To add visual interest I added micro beads,seed beads, glass glitter, crystals,glass beads,tulle,ribbon, metal and bling from Reneabouquets, and some bling from my stash.I used glossy accents and double sided foam tape to adhere items to the page.
