For The Reneabouquets Design Team, The Heart Of A Father Is The Masterpiece Of Nature


 Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new post, a layout, for the amazing Reneabouquets. Go and see                 all the beautiful treasures there! 

My husband picked out this photo taken a long time ago. I'm going to frame it for a Father's Day gift.It shows three generations: my father in law, my husband, and our son.  It's taken on the Guadelupe River in Greune, Texas, in the beautiful Hill Country. 







           To make this page, I applied a layer of clear gesso and let it dry. I put Prima Platinum crackle paste on 49 and Market  paper with a stencil and a small spatula.
 I taped on a layer of watercolor paper underneath the photo to help it to lie flat. I added layers of corrugated cardboard and then a watercolor mat. I added more layers of cardboard and a bottom layer of corrugated that I glued tulle on.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

I arranged the Beautiful Board,and flowers around the page, then added the beads and other items.I brushed on Shimmerz Paints, and glued on more beads,using Glossy Accents. I rubbed on gold mica powder on raised areas and edges of the mat.





To add visual interest I added micro beads, glass glitter,glass beads,sisal,tulle,gold leaf, and bling from my stash,.I used glossy accents to adhere items to the page. For flowers I used double sided foam tape. At The lower left if you look closely you can see a shed snake skin, it's clear and looks like cellophane. I found it in my yard yesterday. The blue jay feathers from my yard too. I put some jingle bells by the bottom of the photo, Einar loved Christmas.  The metal frog with bling is because my husband likes frogs.

                                
                                                  
                                             



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