Reneabouquets DT Project - "Embrace Beautiful Chaos", 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 texture paste to watercolor paper with an old credit card. I put the layers under the photo together,starting with taping on card stock 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, and painted it with gesso. While it was wet I poured on Ultra Thick Embossing Powder, and heated it until it was just melted. I put two layers of cardboard between the layers to add dimension. 

I put the layers with the photo onto the page.

I picked out Beautiful Board, painted with Butterfly Spells Prima Sparks, dry brushed on layers of gold acrylic, Teal the End Of Time Shimmerz ,and topped it with a thick layer of Clear Rock Candy Crackle. Later I dabbed on gold mica powder and the Shimmerz in a few places. I made the crackle show by holding a brush full of blue watercolor paint next to the edge of it, it absorbs the color. 






The rhinestone and pearl button is from Reneabouquets.

I painted the background by brushing on water in strips, and adding watercolor in blue, pale pink,and gold. I added white ink in areas later to cut back on some of the color and busyness of the page. I dry brushed with gesso in a lot of places.






To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads, gold leaf,glass glitter, glass beads, pearls, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones,sequins, a glass pebble and marbles, pressed flowers and leaves, bark,strands of cheesecloth,tulle,lace, iridescent wrapping paper, metal from Tim Holtz, shells,flowers from Prima and Reneabouquets, pieces of floral picks, and bling and metal from my stash. The gorgeous butterfly is from Reneabouquets.





In the above photo I outlined some Beautiful Board and texture paste with a black ink pen.









I splashed Higgins white ink around the page. 


I edged the the corrrugated and watercolor paper mat, with Amsterdam Black Ink.





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