For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Sunshine And Spring

 

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 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 also. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped some of the paper off, and brushed on white gesso.  I added layers of corrugated cardboard in between the layers. I taped on  flowers,chipboard, and taped and glued on beads and other items. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints.I made thin layers of them. I rubbed on gold and pearl mica powder on different  areas. 

I made the flowers out of polyester chiffon, there are six layers of three different sizes. I dyed them with Peacock's Plume, then held each layer over a candle to make the edges curl up. I sewed the layers together and glued a pearl on. I tried doing the edges before I dyed the layers, and it worked much better. The paint burns very easily and the edges got blackened. 

To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,sisal,tulle, crystals,a shell,pearls, glass glitter, chipboard,flowers,and bling and metal from my stash.

                                              Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.
