To make this page I stenciled on Prima Platinum Texture Paste on watercolor paper with a small spatula. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat. I added layers of corrugated cardboard and placed it on the page.I taped on flowers, glued on beads and other items, and I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.  I rubbed on gold mica powder on a lot of the raised areas.            







To add visual interest I added micro beads,glass beads, glass glitter,Swarovski  crystals,iridescent wrapping paper,fussy cut images from Graphic 45, tulle,lace,gold thread,chipboard,sisal,flowers,and bling and metal from my stash. A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents. Many of the textural things are from Reneabouquets. The metal key and heart were given to me by Lisa Romero Landry, a friend of mine.

To make this page, I applied Prima Platinum crackle paste to Prima paper with a spatula and a stencil. I put the layers under the photo together,starting with taping on watercolor paper under the photo to make it more sturdy and lie flat.

 I added layers of corrugated cardboard and a watercolor mat. The bottom layer of cardboard has gesso that I poured Ultra Thick Embossing Powder onto,and heated till  it was just melted. A lot of it's covered up with fussy cut images and flowers.             
   
I arranged the Beautiful Board and flowers around the page, then added the beads and other items.I brushed on Shimmerz Paints, and glued on more beads,using Glossy Accents.I applied gold mica powder on a lot of the raised areas. 









To add visual interest I added micro beads,seed beads, glass glitter, glass beads,crystals,tulle,lace, sisal,bling from my stash, iridescent wrapping paper, FolkArt  Glitterific Clear Hologram Acrylic Paint,and flowers. I used double sided foam tape for the flowers, Beautiful Board, fussy cut images, and metal. All the fussy cut images are from several lines of  Prima papers.
