Life's a Beach-Altered Mixed Media Canvas with Ulrika

Life's A Beach by Ulrika Wandler

Hi, Ulrika here to show you a canvas I made with a bunch of fantastic products from BoBunny and Pentart!

I started with priming my canvas with gesso. After that I applied Bead Paste to make the background.

I also used a stencil together with gesso to make the circles (or bubbles?!).

After that I used Gel Paste to glue some 3D Powder and 3D Balls to start making the sand on the bottom of the ocean. I also glued on some sisal threads and shells. The Gold Confetti Paste is perfect to make the "sand" and the shells glitter.

I applied acrylic paint and wax paste all around the edges.

One Layout Three Ways with Down by the Sea and Katherine

Hi and welcome to our One Layout Three Ways - I'm taking you from a really clean and simple, white space type layout all the way to a mixed media layout - so I hope there is something for everyone to enjoy.  I've used the Down by the Sea papers and a beach photo, focusing on pinks.

Katherine Sutton - Beach

Here is my finished page, but let me take you back a few steps to show you how it got to this.

I started with Lagoon as my backing paper - it has a lovely distressed feel to it already and then used a mix of Coral and Down by the Sea to back my photo and journal spot.  I added the picture this viewfinder die and a cloud from the picnic die set.  The shell and flag are from the Noteworthy collection and the title is from the chipboard.

In my second version I started to add some paint.  I started with a lace stickable stencil and 3D paste and covered an area around my photo - I did it really roughly so it looked distressed.  I then added some Pink and Antique gold Pentart Creamy Acrylic with white gesso over the top - I created little areas of gold and and darker areas of pink.  Once this had dried I used the gold ink with one of the Take Note stamps.  I also started to distress the edges of my papers.

For my final version I distressed and turned up the corners of the Lagoon paper, and backed the whole page with the Dusty Pink Double Dot.  I then added muslin, shells, 3D balls and lots of the same Pentart acrylics, along with a little bit of the Rich Gold glamour paint - this has lots more shine to it than the acrylic gold, so it shines from the page a little more.  I also added a few more embellishments in the shape of a hand-cut seahorse and one of the layered chipboard pieces that says Beautiful.  To finish it off I added some flicks of the gold glamour paste around the page.

I distressed and tore the edges of my base paper, pinning it back with one of the aqua brads, then I filled underneath with shells and 3D balls, you can see the mix of pink, gold and rich gold glamour paints.

You can see the layers of Noteworthy and Chipboard and all the paints.

I added some of the rich gold glamour paint to my die cuts, the flicks of paint have a gorgeous golden shine.

Serendipity and Mixed Media Fun by Emmy

Hello BoBunny Fans!

Emmy here with a brand new mixed-media layout featuring one of BoBunny's latest collections Serendipity, stencils and glitter paste.

To create my background I used pattern papers from the Serendipity collection and various Pentart mixed-media products.

For the brick wall-like pattern I used the Backsplash thick stencil and Structure paste. 

Then I tore a stripe of corrugated cardstock and soften the kraft colour a bit using Gesso. 

Finally, I added a touch of green Glitter Paste...

... and silver confetti paste.

Here are more close ups of my project:

Mixed Media Travel Journal with Rhonda

Rhonda

Monday greetings to you! It's time for a bit of fun with Mixed Media today. I've created a Travel Journal featuring the Down By The Sea collection.

This travel journal features Gold Confetti Paste, Stamping, Stencils with Silver Glitter Paste, Pearlescents and some Pentart 3D Balls make an appearance as well. The coordinating accents include Chipboard, Noteworthy and some of the DoubleDot Jewels for accent.

I love the subtle sparkle that the Gold Confetti Paste adds. I also stamped lightly and then splattered a touch of Gold Glimmer Spray. To color the Pentart 3D Balls, they were placed into a small zipper plastic baggie, added a tiny amount of Chocolate and Sugar Pearlescents and rolled them until I had the color I wanted. I then laid them out to dry.

The finishing touches were some drops of Pearlescents added here and there to create more texture. They were also placed into the cheese cloth. I hope you've enjoyed my little travel journal.

One Layout Three Ways-Down by the Sea and Elena O.

Hello BoBunny Friends,

It's Elena here today and I've got a fun nautical layout to share with you today along with three ways to create it.

First I started with making some fussy cutting from the papers of Down by the Sea collection.

I cut out the frame, the mermaid tail in the waves and the mermaid itself

I wanted to keep the first layout simple and clean.

After I added more of embellishments, it started to look more detailed.

However I kept the sketch I followed initially and only added the layers behind the main clusters.

Next step was to add some mixed media techniques

I added the waves applying the paste through the Stickable Stencil

I also added the glitter paste and confetti paste since it really looks the mermaid's scales.

After those steps, the colors look more vibrant.

Here is the third version for you to enjoy!

Fine Arts and Mixed Media with Ginny

Hello there BoBunny Peeps! I'm sharing the project I created for Mixed Media Monday which I interpret to mean get alllllll the mixed media supplies out lol. Okay I didn't use all of them....but there's a really nice variety of BoBunny and Pentart supplies. I also want to mention that I didn't get it all over myself and my clothes which is a first.

 I was inspired by the gorgeous butterfly image in the Serendipity collection. I cut it out twice then stacked them up to create a dimensional effect.

Loads of feathers fussy cut and accented with Sugar Glitter Paste. I used spacers to added depth. The background pattern was created with  the Fancy Flourishes Stencil and Pearl Stencil Paste then sprayed with multiple colors of Glimmer Spray to create an antique effect. I also added some 3D powder and Gold Confetti Paste.

Stamping the Pocket Full of Posies image  onto vellum then cut out to create filler for the arrangement. The Flutter Dies butterfly die cuts are substituted for leaves and create a neutral place for your eyes to land on in the busy mix of supplies. A few Double Dot Pearls tucked in are a nice contrast to the metallic paint splatter.

This dream catcher chippie was altered with Patina Effects and oh my goodness I love it so much. A simple sentiment trimmed from the butterfly cut apart is an inspirational finishing touch.

Okay that's all for me for now. Wishing everyone a happy and productive day : ) G

The World is Our Playground

Hello BoBunny Fans,

Emmy here today sharing a layout I created with "Weekend Adventures" collection from BoBunny Spring 2017 release. I used a lot of different mixed-media products to create my background, as well as many die-cut elements to embellish my layout.



To create my background I used three different pattern papers from the Weekend Adventures collection - Beachy, Blooms and Road Trip. After I've assembled them together, I used Structure paste and Stencils to create the dimensional patterns.

To finish off the design of my background I used Clear Stamps and Gold Confetti Paste.

And here are some close ups of the finished layout:

I hope you've enjoyed today's post!

Have a lovely creative weekend!
