For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Paris Is Always A Good Idea
This stunning photo of the Pont Alexandre lll Bridge in Paris was taken by my daughter in law's sister Andi White, or her mom, Patricia Blundell White.
To make this page, I stenciled Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a small spatula onto watercolor paper.
I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat, and made a mat too. I added layers of corrugated cardboard. I taped on flowers,glued on beads and other items, and brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I rubbed on gold mica powder on different areas.
To add visual interest I added seed beads, glass beads, crystals, glass glitter,sequins, sisal, chipboard, tulle, flowers,pressed flowers,shells, pearls, and bling and metal from my stash. A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents. Many of the textural items are from Reneabouquets. I used fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers.

For The Reneabouquets Design Team, The Heart Of A Father Is The Masterpiece Of Nature
Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new post, a layout, for the amazing Reneabouquets. Go and see all the beautiful treasures there!
My husband picked out this photo taken a long time ago. I'm going to frame it for a Father's Day gift.It shows three generations: my father in law, my husband, and our son. It's taken on the Guadelupe River in Greune, Texas, in the beautiful Hill Country.
To make this page, I applied a layer of clear gesso and let it dry. I put Prima Platinum crackle paste on 49 and Market paper with a stencil and a small spatula.
I taped on a layer of watercolor paper underneath the photo to help it to lie flat. I added layers of corrugated cardboard and then a watercolor mat. I added more layers of cardboard and a bottom layer of corrugated that I glued tulle on.
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 rubbed on gold mica powder on raised areas and edges of the mat.
To add visual interest I added micro beads, glass glitter,glass beads,sisal,tulle,gold leaf, and bling from my stash,.I used glossy accents to adhere items to the page. For flowers I used double sided foam tape. At The lower left if you look closely you can see a shed snake skin, it's clear and looks like cellophane. I found it in my yard yesterday. The blue jay feathers from my yard too. I put some jingle bells by the bottom of the photo, Einar loved Christmas. The metal frog with bling is because my husband likes frogs.
