To make this page, I brushed  clear gesso onto 49 and Market paper. I stenciled on Prima Platinum Crackle Texture Paste with a small spatula.
  I added a watercolor mat under the photo, and a cardboard mat under that. I put white gesso onto  corrugated cardboard, then poured on ultra thick embossing powder onto the wet gesso. I heated it with heat gun. 
 I put dimension between the layers with cardboard.






 I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.

To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads, sequins,pearls, crystals, glass glitter,  tulle, feathers, chipboard,paper flowers, dried flowers, and bling and metal from my stash. 
      Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.   

I brushed on white gesso on top of some areas where you see Shimmerz Paints. This was to balance out the colors a little. I rubbed on pearl mica powder on most of the background on this page,
As a final step I sprinkled some multi colored glitter on. 

















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

 I put dimension between the layers with cardboard. I put some tulle over it so it's hard to see the heated material.

I glued on beads and other items.

 I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I put some blue,purple,silver and gold Jaquard mica powder on different areas.




To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads, sequins,pearls, crystals, glass glitter, tulle, feathers, chipboard, sisal,dried flowers, and bling and metal from my stash.
