Shimmering Dimensional Embellishments with Perfect Paints
Hello fellow creatives! Becky Conley here, excited to share a simple yet sophisticated way to elevate your home decor. Driven by a desire to d maximize resources, I've transformed leftover paint pouring minitures into stunning 6" x 6" abstract canvases. Today, we'll be focusing on adding Shimmering floral centerpiece using Perfect Paints Polishing Plaster! Let's get started!

These 6' x 6" abstract canvases were made to use up left over paints mixed for paint pouring that were beginning to clutter my worktable. I selected one for this Shimmering Flower Project.

Repeat to create an inner circle of petals.
White the paste is still wet, cut the back off a decorative button and place in the center of the flower.
Let dry complete for multiple days. Remove carefully from the non-stick mat. Touch up any thin spots or holes that may have occurred by applying the #1060 Dove's Wing Polishing Plaster with a paint brush.
Glue the flower to the center of the abstract painted canvas.

I repurposed a framed/matted sentiment which needed a little more coverage, so I made a frame of copper tape behind the mat. The corners are mitered.
