Hello there BoBunny Fans! Bernii here today! I am here to share with you my Misc Me spread that I created using the brand new and exciting Stickable Stencils and Glimmer Sprays bought out with the last release.
 
Firstly I need to say that if you have not had the chance to grab a set or two of the new stickable stencils you must! They are by far the most superior stencil that I have used. They have given me such a crisp and detailed look using wet mediums. Before it was always a guessing game to see if my stencil had bled, but with the BoBunny stickable stencils, there is no longer that worry. So exciting!!

So let me show you closer what I did to create this Misc Me spread.
 
First, I used two double dot cardstock bases in Sugar to create this spread and laid them both out in front of me uncut. I then grabbed the Lace Stickable Stencil and laid it out across the two papers. That way I could keep on eye on creating a balanced and cohesive look. Once I was happy with the stencils I used both the Bronze and the Gold Glimmer Spray randomly over the page, making sure that I left some white space in places.

As you can see above in the bottom left corner the brilliant crisp image the BoBunny stickable stencils leaves behind when using wet mediums like the Glimmer Sprays. Once I was complete with the background, I then cut it all up to the measurements needed for the pocket pages.

As a tip to cleaning your Sticky Stencils, I suggest you peel them of your project, then clean them once they are attached back onto plastic sheet they are packaged in. Then using a wet wipe clean the stencil on top, and then lift up the stencil and clean the plastic sheeting underneath to make sure all residue is gone. Do not be too picky if the stencil is stained a little, as I find a little build up on top of the stencil is great to add a little more strength over time.

I used the new Madeline collection to embellish the Misc Me spread as I found it really  complemented Glimmer Sprays I used.

I also played around with the new BoBunny Pearlescents with the Stickable Stencils and simply used my finger to blend and spread around the wet medium. I love how it turned out and again how crisp the image turned out.

Thanks so much for dropping by.

  1. Great post, Bernii! Love the idea of cutting the papers for the pockets so that the stencils span more than one pocket, great unification technique for the Misc Me projects!
