Hello everyone, Kim L. here today to share my final altered paper mache plate in the series, I hope you have enjoyed them! I have had so much fun shabbying them up and using ScraPerfect products. This plate is a pretty shade of aqua and would make a great gift for someone special. Here it is:
For this plate, I covered it with a coat of white gesso and then painted it with aqua chalk paint. I then used a gray antiquing paint over the whole plate and removed the majority of it with a baby wipe while it was damp. I then dry brushed some white paint to complete the antique look. I got to work then tearing paper into pieces that I decoupaged collage style on the plate. While it was still wet, I sprinkled mica flakes on the plate to give a shimmery effect.
For interest in the center of the plate, I decoupaged a white crocheted doilie. I used the amazing
Best Glue Ever to adhere the metal embellishment to the middle of the doilie. I then ran tiny beads of
Best Glue Ever around the middle edge of the plate and used it to adhere the rhinestone trim to for sparkle.
I also used the Best Glue Ever to glue the aqua organza ruffle trim around the back of the plate for a soft feel.
