To make this page, I put the layers under the photo together,starting with taping on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat. I added layers of corrugated cardboard and a watercolor mat. In between more layers of corrugated I taped on a mat made out of canvas. 

I coated a sheet of Prima paper with a layer of clear gesso, then applied Prima Platinum crackle paste  with a stencil and a spatula.I arranged some embellishments around the page, then layers of Shimmerz Paints. I applied jaquard gold and mica powder with my fingers on the raised parts of the page, and also on a lot of textured items. 

To add visual interest I added micro beadsglass beads, glass glitter,Swarovski  crystals, a feather, gold thread, fussy cut images from Prima papers,and bling and metal from my stash. A lot of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.I used double sided foam tape for the flowers and some other things, and to put the cardboard layers together.
