For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, It Is Well Known That Reading Quickens The Growth Of A Heart Like Nothing Else

  Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Shimmerz Paints! Go and see all the fun                                                                             treasures there!

To make this page,I covered a piece of 49 & Market paper with clear gesso. I stenciled on Prima Platinum Texture Paste with a amall spatula. I taped on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger and to lie flat. I added  more layers of corrugated cardboard and a mat 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,pressed flowers,fussy cut images from the Botanist's Sticker Anthology Book and 49 &Market Paper, 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 insect at the bottom and the metal butterfly at the left were given to me by Lisa Romero Landry, a friend of mine.















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