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!

Two Cards

Here are two new cards for Reneabouquets, I love using the amazing products I find there!

To make this card I first put the layers under the Steampunk Debutante image together: I taped on cardstock to the image to make it stronger, underneath is watercolor paper, at the bottom is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most of the paper from the corrugated, and painted it with gesso. I put layers of foam core board between everything, to add dimension.

I marked off where I wanted the layers to go, then sponged on gesso on Prima Paper, an A4 piece of Timeless Memories. I glued on lace, then applied texture paste with a stencil.

I used different media to get the colors I wanted: Shimmerz Paints, Art Alchemy Sparks, gold mica powder, Derwent Inktense Watercolor pencil in Bark, and black gesso.

To add visual interest I added a micro beads, glass glitter, mica flakes,glass beads, tiny pieces of black tulle and gold lace, a few strands of gauze, a butterfly,a flower from my stash, and a 7 Gypsies pin with silk ribbon.

To make this card I assembled the shaker box, painted it with Prima Dragon's Eye Sparks Paint, then painted the frame. I use gold mica powder and water for the shells, and Shimmerz paints for the rest. I dribbled on Clear Rock Candy Crackle with a paint brush. I glued the frame onto the box. I marked off the page where I wanted it to sit, and sponged gesso on the paper. I attached the box to the page with double sided foam tape.

I used the same items on this card as the other one, with the addition of pressed flowers, lichen, swarovski crystals, and a pearl necklace with some chain from my stash. The brass moon on the shaker box is from Vintaj. Inside the shaker box I put sequins, glass glitter, glass beads, pearls, shells, mica flakes,rhinestones, Swarovski bicone crystals, seed beads, green plastic crystals,and micro beads. 

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

Start Each Day With a Grateful Heart

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a design team page for Reneabouquets!I've used a google free photo by A.M. Lorek. 

I love using these beautiful products from Renea's.

To make this page I applied clear gesso to Blue Fern paper. I applied texture paste with a stencil, then put the layers under the photo together. I took some corrugated cardboard, ripped off a lot of the surface paper, and painted it with gesso. I added the photo with a layer of cardstock taped on, then watercolor paper. I put layers of foam core board between everything to give dimension, and room to tuck things into.

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, seed beads, pearls, rhinestones, crystals,glass beads,shells,glass pebbles, pressed flowers and leaves, moss, Prima flowers, Vintaj and Tim Holtz metal,chain, tulle, and tiny pieces of gold lace. I used Prima moulds and clay to make two pieces, and painted them.

I painted with layers of gesso, Shimmerz, Prima Art Alchemy paints,Prima waxes, and mica powders.

Out of Limitations Comes Creativity

 Hi everyone! Melissa here with a design team page for Reneabouquets! I've used a google free photo by A.M. Lorek. 

It's always a pleasure to use such high quality, beautiful,products from Reneabouquets!

To make this page I applied clear gesso to Lavender Frost paper. I applied texture paste with a stencil, then put the layers under the photo together. I took some corrugated cardboard, ripped off some of the surface paper off, and painted it with gesso. On top of the cardboard I added watercolor paper, foam core board,and a layer of cardstock taped to the photo. I used double sided tape. The extra paper helps the photo lie flat, otherwise there's too much glare from warping when I take photos of it.

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

To add visual interest I added microbeads, glass glitter, mica flakes, seed beads, pearls, rhinestones, shells, pressed flowers and leaves, lichen, Prima flowers, metal from Reneabouquets, Tim Holtz, chain, tulle,and tiny pieces of lace. Most of the paint is Shimmerz, but I also used Finnabair Sparks,Waxes, and Tattered Angels. I used gold and purple mica powder for highlights. I wanted to show the dimensions with the above photo.There's a total of 5 layers of foam core board.

I pretty much coated the background with gesso, because things just got too busy.

A lot of the raised areas of the chipboard and cardboard have gesso on them.I kept adding and changing colors to get something I wanted.I added a little Prima stamping at the end, and also rubbed on some Green Brocade Prima wax on different areas.

There's a lot of texture with all the microbeads and glitter.

To help tie things together, I brush a little gesso on almost everything, then add more paint, or mica powder.

I tucked in some pale aqua tulle at the sides and top of the layers. I glued a Butterfly Kiss on top there. The key has gesso, paint, and mica powders on it. I glued some rhinestones in the indentations at the top of the key itself, and tied on some white silk ribbon.Right by the key is a Tim Holtz charm. I glued in a piece of Art Alchemy paper by Stamperia, and topped it with Dimensional Magic.

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

Creativity Takes Courage

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a design team post for Reneabouquets! I've used a google free photo  by A.M. Lorek. 

It's always a pleasure to use the beautiful and high quality products found at Reneabouquets!

To make this page I applied texture paste with a stencil, then put the layers under the photo together. I took some corrugated cardboard, ripped some of the surface paper off, painted with gesso, then while wet sprinkled on Ultra Thick Embossing Powder. I used the cardboard, watercolor paper, and foam core board to make more dimension. The Graphic 45 paper pieces are on double sided foam tape.

I used Steampunk Debutante paper to frame the photo. I picked out Beautiful Board(B board), prepped with gesso, painted it with Shimmerz Paints, and topped it with Clear Rock Candy Crackle.

I scribbled on paper with a Derwent Inktense Watercolor Pencil, mixed it with a little water, and held a brush with it up to the edge of the B Board. The crackle absorbed the color, to make the cracks more visible. I brushed on some gold paint and mica powder to highlight the blue tones. Underneath the chipboard is a Prima mold item I made with Sculpy clay. I painted it with gesso, then used Finnabairs brass paint from the patina paint set to color it. The rusty washer to the left of it is also from Prima.

To add visual interest I added microbeads, glass glitter,mica flakes,seed beads, glass beads, pearls, cystals, rhinestones, glass marbles,shells, pressed flowers,pressed leaves,sticks, moss, pieces from flower picks, Prima flowers, metal from Reneabouquets, Prima,Tim Holtz,and Vintaj, old jewelry, chain,strands of cheesecloth, and tiny pieces of lace. Most of the paint is Shimmerz, but I also used Finnabair metallics and waxes. I used gold mica powder to kind of highlight the colors and textures. To add microbeads and seed beads I spread on Glossy Accents with my finger, then pour them on. Later I go back and put some coppery colored watercolor paint on to add definition and color. 

I like to add a lot of detail to the bottom of the page. I dry brushed a little gesso on top of surfaces to kind of tie things together. 

I added a little Prima stamping at the end. The tiny green crystals are plastic. I painted a lot of the background with gesso, to give more negative space, and added a pale pink watercolor around the layers.

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