Card and Set of ATCs


Hi everyone, Melissa here with my new design team post for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! 












To make this card, I applied texture paste with a stencil on watercolor paper. I added layers of papers from Prima's Spring Farmhouse. I painted chipboard from Reneabouquets with First BlushPenny 4 Your Thoughts, and Greener Pastures Inklingz. I added a thick layer of Ranger Clear Rock Candy Crackle. I used the same colors on the rest of the card.


To add visual interest I applied micro beads, seed beads,glass beads, glass glitter,sequins, pearls, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals,tiny pieces of gold lace and tulle,pressed flowers, lichen, and leaves,and a butterfly from Reneabouquets.






I added a few wisps of dyed gauze and sisal.













The ATCs are also made with watercolor paper on two layers of Prima's Spring Farmhouse. I applied texture paste with Tim Holtz's Speckle stencil.I painted the chipboard with Green Olive Shimmerz, then the crackle layer. 




The butterflies and flowers are from Reneabouquets. The pins are from 7 Gypsies, with dyed silk ribbon from Tim Holtz and Hobby Lobby. 





The gold layer is mica powder and water. I added some black tulle on the bottom layer.


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