I spread the glaze roughly over part of the page then sprinkled Are You Cerise and Blue Blood over the top and spread the glaze with a 'credit' card - I love how it combined the colours and left streaks in parts! I stamped the large flower from Tracy Scott's new set ETS08 (and then stamped some smaller flowers and leaves from the same set) onto book paper. They were coloured in in various ways, Distress markers, Prima Watercolours, NeocolourIIs. I then stamped the flowers onto the page too so that when they were cut out the extended flower still showed! I spattered some Black and Inky Pool Fresco paint before sticking on my book page flowers. The little butterfly was in my scraps box. I wanted a word but didn't want it to detract from the flower so StencilGirl Seth Apter stencil to the rescue!!
Just in case you can't pick up the pearly finish here is a photo from the side

Gorgeous page wit fantastic background!! Brilliant work!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful page. And great idea to use the pearl glaze.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Infusions. Are they a bit like Brushos (which I have also never seen)? The background colors are fabulous, though and the beautiful flowers are no surprise to me, since you love flowers so much.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm guessing the Football Museum, which would have been MY choice, was not where you went (grin).
Fantastic page, love the colours, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteDepending on the film, I'd have chosen the football museum too! Love that infusion page though.. it's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteFabulous page Chris, the infusions and glaze worked perfectly together and I love the colours. Hope you enjoyed the film (as I guess you weren't at the museum). Have a great weekend xxx
ReplyDeleteIt seems the infusions are made for you! What a terrific page that is!!Works amazing with the glaze effect you created!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for another fantastic entry to Yvonne's March theme! You rock! I bet you were at the cinema, am I right?!
Happy Thursday

The page is wonderful and great that you managed to capture the sheen in your photograph.
ReplyDeleteNot a clue where the photograph was taken was it Manchester?--just thinking abiout tthe football thing.
Love Chrissie xx
Its a fantastic background Chris, love the shine effect and of course those new infusions are on my wish list. Beautiful page and it shows how you were having a good time creating it.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed the film?

Chris, I have to say, this is my favourite piece of your work, of all time!! It is absolutely stunning!!! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, the shimmer and shine for your Pearl Glaze is so amazing! You have created such a beautiful page :-). Thanks for the clue, my guess is the cinema :-). Happy Thursday Chris! J :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty page, and the background is amazing. Really like that subtle word hovering over it all. I haven't mixed the Infusions with any glazes, so that's great inspiration, thank you.

Fabulous page Chris. The colours are so striking too. Hope your both well. Hugs Rita xxxx
ReplyDeleteI bought a couple of those Infusions from Paper Artsy and hope I get a chance this weekend to play with them. Your page is really fun! And I'm guessing you went to the IMAX. What fun thing did you go see, may I ask? Hugs-Erika
