Look For The Magic

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a design team page for Reneabouquets! I love all the amazing things there! This photo is from free google, by A.M. Lorek.

To make this page I applied clear gesso to Happy Accident 2 paper, by Blue Fern. I put texture paste on with a stencil, then put the layers under the photo together. I taped on cardstock underneath the image to make it stronger, below that is a lahyer of watercolors paper. At the bottom is corrugated cardboard. I had torn off most of the paper from the cardboard, and painted it with gesso. I put layers of foam core board between the layers to add dimension.

I picked out Beautiful Board (B Board), painted it with Shimmerz Paints, and topped it with Clear Rock Candy Crackle.

To add visual interest I added micro beads, glass glitter,mica flakes,small pieces of iridescent wrap, sequins, seed beads, pearls, Swarovski crystals, glass beads,a brad,pressed flowers, moss,lichen, a 49 and Market flower, a Reneabouquets butterfly, metal from Renea,Vintaj, Prima, Tim Holtz,bling from my stash, shells, and glass pebbles. There are a few fussy cuts pieces from Prima Spring Farmhouse, and a piece of Stamperia Alchemy paper. I used some pieces from floral picks.

I love using pressed flowers, they add delicate texture, color, and soften the even shapes of the other elements.

I dabbed on some glossy accents and then mica powder under the glass pebbles. I painted the raised areas of the texture paste with Shimmerz.

I added Shimmerz and beads on the cardboard, and painted the edges of the layers with paint, black gesso, and swiped on gold mica powder.

The Tim Holtz tag has Stamperia paper on it, topped with Dimensional Accents.

I dyed gauze with gold, and other pieces with a mix of green and brown. I glued on small pieces of it on the page.

I patted on gold mica powder all around on the different items, to sort of tie things together.

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

What a Wonderful World

Hi everyone! Here's a design team page for Reneabouquets!I've used a photo from the recent wedding of my son and his wife. I was inspired by the happiness of the occasion.

To make this page I mounted the photo on layers of watercolor paper and foam core board. I took Beautiful Board April In Paris Floral Medallion Set Laser Cut Chipboard (BB),and used the largest one. I cut it in half and used half at each end. I painted it and the watercolor paper with Art Alchemy Steampunk Copper Acrylic Paint by Prima. I poured on a thick layer of Rock Candy Crackle Paint on the BB.Using Blue Fern paper, I applied texture paste with a stencil and a credit card,and painted the paste with the copper paint.

I put the BB on with double sided foam tape, and painted underneath it with black gesso. I poured diamond chunky glitter glass on the gesso.I outlined the BB with a Derwent Inktense Watercolor Pencil, in Bark.

I painted in between the raised areas of texture paste with Shimmerz Inkling in Penny 4 Your Thoughts, and Greener Pastures. I painted the raised areas in some cases with Sparks Art Alchemy paint in Unicorn Hair.

To add visual interest I added microbeads, glass beads, pearls, glass glitter, diamond shard glitter glass, gold mica flakes, birch bark, lichen, pressed flowers, tulle, metal pieces, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals, and a glass vial. The burgundy ribbon is from one of the boutonnieres the groomsmen wore. I dyed some cheesecloth green with Shimmerz paint and Distress Ink.
