Reneabouquets Design Team page, "Snow At Christmas", by Melissa Larson

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

To make this page I applied clear gesso to Blue Fern Christmas Cheer Paper.

  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. Below that is a watercolor paper mat, and at the bottom is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most of the paper from the top of the cardboard, and painted it with gesso.

I put the layers with the photo onto the page.

 I applied Prima Platinum crackle paste with a stencil and an old credit card. I picked out Beautiful Board,arranged the flowers around the page, and added the BB. I layered in all the fussy cut pieces, and then the beads. I added paint, more beads, and layers of more paint.


















To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads,glass glitter, glass beads, pearls,rhinestones,swarovski crystals,sequins,pressed flowers,seeds, dried lavender buds and leaves,bark,lichen,feathers, cheesecloth,iridescent wrapping paper,sisal,lace, tulle,metal from Reneabouquets,Prima,Tim Holtz,and Vintaj,flowers from  Reneabouquets and Prima,and bling and metal from my stash. Most of the things 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.I used  fussy cut images from Graphic 45 papers. I flicked on gold Jaquard mica powder, added Prima waxes, and flicked on white Amsterdam Ink,as final steps.


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