    Designer Jill Miller creates richness and dimension by combining pearlescent metallic paints with metallic stickers.

    Materials:

    Rust velveteen paper, 8-1/2" x 11"
    Pearl Ex powdered paints (verdigris, red russet and sparkle gold)
    Make-up applicator
    Acid-free fixative spray
    Stampendous Class A Peels copper leaf stickers
    Gold gel pen
    Shiny black paper
    Copper wire
    Southwest-motif corner punch

    1. Peel outline of copper stickers away from backing and arrange in cascading manner on left side of rust velveteen paper.

    2. Use make-up applicator to apply Pearl Ex powder in center of leaves (figure A). Blow away excess pigment.

    3. Add additional leaves by pressing tape to copper leaf, removing tape, then pressing to page surface (figure B) .

    4. Spray page with acid-free fixative.

    5. Trim shiny black paper and punch all four corners.

    6. Wrap copper wire around a round object, pull off and twist to create curling wire for mat. Thread wire through punched corners and secure on back side of mat.

    7. Add photo and journaling to finish page.
