For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team, Come To The Woods, For Here Is Rest

 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.While it was wet I sprinkled on Ultra Thick Embossing Powder and heated it with a heat gun. 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,blue, and pearl mica powder on different  areas. 

I made the flowers out of polyester chiffon, I cut out six layers of three different sizes. I then held each layer over a candle to make the edges curl up. I sewed the layers together and glued a pearl on. I dipped the flowers in a mix of First Blush, and Blue My Mind. I painted on more colors on the flower on the right side, Ultra Marine and Blue My Mind.





To add visual interest I added microbeads, seed beads, glass beads,sequins,tulle, crystals,pressed and dried flowers from my yard,a feather,pearls, glass glitter, fussy cut images from Graphic 45 paper, chipboard,flowers,and bling and metal from my stash. 
                                              Many of the items are glued on individually with Glossy Accents.
