Reneabouquets Design Team Project, "Good Things Are Going To Happen", by Melissa Larson


Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Reneabouquets, go and see all the beautiful things there! I've used a photo from free google by Stella de Libero.





To make this page I applied clear gesso to Blue Fern paper. I put the layers under the photo together,starting with taping on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger. Below that is a layer of watercolor paper, and at the bottom is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most the paper from the surface of the cardboard, and painted it with gesso. I put two layers of corrugated cardboard between the layers to add dimension. 

I put the layers with the photo onto the page. I applied texture paste with a stencil to the paper with an old credit card. 

I picked out Beautiful Board(BBoard), painted it with Prima Sparks and Shimmerz Paints,and topped it with a thick layer of Clear Rock Candy Crackle. I added more Prima Sparks, and mica powder.




To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads,glass glitter, glass beads, pearls, Swarovski crystals, gold leaf, rhinestones,sequins, glass pebbles, pressed flowers and leaves,tulle,lace,iridescent wrapping paper, fussy cut pieces from Graphic 45 Bloom Collection, metal from Reneabouquets, Tim Holtz, shells,flowers from Prima and Reneabouquets, pieces of floral picks, and bling and metal from my stash.There are gorgeous dragonflies from Reneabouquets.





I used Shimmerz Paints in lavender, green, and brown on the watercolor paper, corrugated, and base paper. 
In the photo above, to the right of the bee, there's a RB glass fairy opal bead. You can see a few colors that it seems to glow with. I used a lot on the page. 























As a final step I splashed on Higgins white ink, and also added it to some areas of the page.
