Hi everyone! I'm here to share my layout up at
Flourish With a Bling already. In my post there
you can find the exact product names & links to
their store for all the FWAB products I've used,
namely their new flowers & the pearl flourishes.

I really love how this one turned out & promised to share my
process. I began by adhering some gauze to my watercolour
paper, using gel medium. I then painted over it with gesso,
sprinkling some glass beads into the wet gesso & used a wad of
gauze pressed into the thick layer of gesso to create the texture.
Without drying it off I sprayed on a few different colours of mist
then dried everything off with my heat gun, close to the surface
to create bubbles. I added some white acrylic paint to the sides
of my page to create a vignette. To achieve this effect my paper
became completely saturated which caused warping, so once it
was dry I adhered it to another sheet of cardstock to flatten it.
I stamped randomly with my Prima brick stamp, using Ranger
black archival ink & used Prima stickers for my title & sentiment.
For my layers I used some Prima papers that I distressed,
as well as some mesh tape, mesh fabric & pleated burlap.
I also tucked in some old film tape that I stapled on.
Notice the tiny glass beads under the flourish above.
I also added some teeny bits of corrugated board for further
texture, first colouring some with a Ranger Gold Paint Dabber.
Don't forget about the September Challenge at Flourish with a Bling
HERE. There is always a lovely big prize-pack up for grabs!
