I used colors from the September Color Kits Collection:

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 the paper off, and brushed on white gesso.

I sprinkled on ultra thick embossing powder into the wet gesso and heated it with a heat gun.

 I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers, and glued on beads and other items.

 I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I sponged on white gesso as needed to try and balance the colors. I rubbed on pearl mica powder on the white gesso, and gold onto the raised areas all over the page.

I painted on Black Hole on the background  to balance it with the photo. 

To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,pearls,gold leaf, feathers, crystals, glass glitter, tulle, and bling and metal from my stash. There are some fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers.

      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.
