                                                             Photo credit:Fezbot2000.        


                        



To make this page I put the layers under the photo together first,including taping water color paper under the image to make it stronger. Below that is a mat of watercolor paper, and at the bottom is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most the paper from the surface of the cardboard, and painted it with gesso. I put two layers of cardboard between each of the layers to add dimension, and taped it to the background paper.

I coated 49 and Market Paper with clear gesso, then applied texture paste with a stencil and credit card.

I picked out Reneabouquets Beautiful Board,arranged it around the page, took it off, and prepped it with white gesso. I painted them with Imperial Amethyst Inklingz, then topped them with a thick layer of Clear Rock Candy Crackle.I painted the mat,corrugated, and the area around them with Orchid-Stra, Wisteria Lane, and Key Lime Shimmerz. I also used Imperial Amethyst, Olive U Truly, and Honeymoon Inklingz. I brushed and rubbed on mica powder in purple, gold, and green.






To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, glass shard glitter,glass beads, pearls, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones,sequins,shells,strands of gauze,iridescent wrapping paper, black tulle, off white netting, gold lace, pressed and dried flowersand leaves, moss, lichen,gold leaf ,flowers from Reneabouquets and Prima, metal from Vintaj,Reneabouquets and Tim Holtz, and bling and metal from my stash. I added small fussy cut pieces from a few collections of Graphic 45 papers. 














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

There are a few Prima and Finnabair mould pieces, and small fussy cut pieces from Graphic 45 Garden Goddess and more. 





I added gesso to the paper at the left of the page, I sort of scrubbed it on with an old stiff paint brush.





I added some lavender Shimmerz Paint on the corrugated, and to the right of the page. I wanted to pick up the purple of the iris flowers in the photo.

I splattered the page with white Higgins Ink. 





I squeezed on glossy accent on the edges of the big pink flower in the group at the bottom right, then sprinkled on Gawdy Girl Diamond Shard Glitter Glass.






That little flower girl is adorable!

To make this page I applied clear gesso to 49 & Market Paper

  I put the layers under the photo together,starting with taping on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger. Below that is a mat of watercolor paper, and at the bottom is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most of the paper from the top of the cardboard, and painted it with gesso. I put two layers of cardboard between the layers to add dimension. 

I put the layers with the photo onto the page.

 I put texture paste on with a stencil and an old credit card. 

I picked out Beautiful Board,applied gesso with a brush,attached it to the page with foam tape, and painted it with green and brown Shimmerz Paints. I applied a thick layer of Clear Rock Candy Crackle. I brushed on black ink on the edges of the chipboard, and applied white Higgins Ink on the paper underneath, to help make it stand out.





To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, gold leaf,glass glitter,distress glitter, glass beads, pearls, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones,sequins, pressed flowers and leaves, black tulle,strands of gold cheesecloth, wire,iridescent wrapping paper, gold lace,metal from Reneabouquets,Tim Holtz,Vintaj,flowers from  Reneabouquets,Prima and bling and metal from my stash. Most of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents. There are some fussy cut images of fairies and things from Graphic 45 papers, Fairy Frost,and Bloom.


I combined different colors of Shimmerz Paints on the mat and corrugated cardboard. I added gold mica powder on in different areas on the page.

This Moment




Hi everyone! Melissa here with a design team page for the amazing Shimmerz Paints. I love these                                paints, the colors are so rich and fun to work with! Photo credit: Alvin Mahmudov.



Who wants to win a $50.00 Shimmerz Shop credit? Heck yes! Learn how today on the Shimmerz Paints blog!








To make this page I put the layers under the photo together first,including taping water color paper under the image to make it stronger. Below that is a mat of watercolor paper, and at the bottom is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most the paper from the surface of the cardboard, and painted it with gesso. I put two layers of cardboard between each of the layers to add dimension, and taped it to the background paper.

I applied texture paste with a stencil and a credit card on Blue Fern paper. I sprinkled it with Ultra Thick Embossing Powder(UTEE) and heated it.

I picked out Reneabouquets Beautiful Board,arranged it around the page, took it off, and prepped it with gesso. I painted them with Christmas Cheer Shimmerz, then topped them with a thick layer of Clear Rock Candy Crackle. I brushed on white gesso, then some gold mica powder. I painted the mat with a mix of Emerald City, Steely Blue Eyes, and Olive U Truly Inklingz, but pretty much covered everything with gesso. The page had a huge amount of product on it, it was too busy. I took almost everything off, and brushed on gesso on almost everything. I used Pixie Dust Shimmerz on the corrugated. 






To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, glass shard glitter,gold leaf,glass beads, pearls, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones,sequins,glass marbles,tulle,flowers from Reneabouquets, and metal from Vintaj. I added green tulle to try and tone down the background.

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Reneabouquets, go and see all the fun treasures there!

 I've used a photo of my beautiful daughter in law, Aron.           





To make this page I applied clear gesso to Blue Fern paper. I put the layers under the photo together,starting with taping on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger. Below that is a layer of watercolor paper, and under that is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most the paper from the surface of the cardboard, and painted it with gesso. I put two layers of corrugated cardboard between each layer to add dimension. 

I put the layers with the photo onto the page. I applied texture paste with a stencil to the paper with an old credit card.I painted the stenciled area with Prima Mermaid Sparks paint, and softened the edges of it with pale pink Shimmerz.

I picked out Beautiful Board(BBoard), painted it with Shimmerz Paints,and topped it with a thick layer of Clear Rock Candy Crackle. I added a little blue and gold mica powder on the pink flowers.










I drew out colors from the photo to the mat and corrugated.
