Time for Tea Canvas with Denise

Hello BoBunny Fans!

It's Denise here today to share a mixed media canvas with you using the cute and gorgeous Early Bird collection.

I loved the idea of making a kitchen canvas, based on one of the things I really love and that is a cup of tea! So the "Time for Tea" canvas came to life.

I did a white washed effect on the background of the canvas and then added crackled stenciling, some texture, more paint and some stamping.

I added some extra wording too, which tied in nicely with the theme of Time for Tea.

I added some die-cut leaves around the cups and teapot, to carry through the styling and also added some pearlescent and jewels to the centres of the cups and teapot.

Lastly, here is a close-up of the crackled stenciling and the stamping around the edge of the canvas.

So "Time for Tea" anyone? I would love to share a cuppa and some creativity with you!
Have a fabulous day!

Mixed Media With Love & Lace!

Hi there BoBunny fans!

Today I have a mixed media tutorial to share with you :) using the new Love & Lace Collection.  I don't know about you but sometimes I find it daunting to do mixed media - I mean I know what I want to do but sometimes I think what comes out on paper doesn't quite reflect what was going on in my head!  With that in mind I thought I would try for simple but effective!  So here goes :)

First of all you need to prepare your surface so I have rather haphazardly applied my gesso all over my canvas quite thickly.  Paper tends to buckle if you use to much.  With paper I dry brush on my gesso.  Once dry I added pieces of washi, punched strips of paper and then lined up two of my border stickable stencils.

To cover the border stencil I have used Licorice Pearlescents and just applied it straight from the bottle.

Once that was dry I chose the Noteworthy piece I want to use and popped some chipboard in behind it to give dimension, and added my typed quote to a strip of paper made into a banner.  The binder clip was the prefect addition :)  OK, so now that I'm happy with placement I can then add in another stencil using gold glitter paste.

Now the fiddling begins!  To add colour Ive used a paint brush dipped in my sprays and roughly applied it where I wanted.  Start with the lightest colour first, in this case it was gold.  Once dry I added the darker red colour but this time I lightly patted this dry with a wet wipe.  When that was dry I then randomly stamped over the background with two different stamps.

I had thought it was finished but thought it needed something more, so I added blossoms, wood shapes,  a lser cut chipboard heart inked black - it reminded me of the lace in the paper :) - and lastly those yummy new glitter and foil stickers!!

I hope this tutorial has been helpful to you!   :)
