For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Autumn, The Year's Last, Loveliest Smile

 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 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 rubbed on gold mica powder on a lot of the background and raised areas on the page.




To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,pearls, crystals, glass glitter, tulle,sisal, feathers, 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.   



















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