Down by the Sea and Pentart Crackle with Rhonda

Gift Idea: Artists Tray with Rhonda

Greetings and welcome to Sunday Funday on the blog! I have a project featuring the Down By The Sea collection and the Pentart Cracking Paint System. We recently took a vacation to Florida and spent a bit of time at the ocean. This collection was perfect for my photos!

I found this artist tray at my local craft store on clearance and thought it would be perfect to showcase this collection and my photos. This is also such a perfect gift for Mother's Day or Father's Day. I prepared the tray by painting my Cracking Paint System 1, let dry and then applied the Cracking Paint System 2 in White on top and set aside to dry and crack.

While the tray was drying, I measured the compartments and started trimming a variety of the papers, then I selected the photos that I wanted to print. I started with a 4x6 that I could cut in half for the focal center of the tray, then I printed smaller 2x3 photos to use in the opposite corners.

I cut several pretty die cut elements out from our new dies, used them in a few of the compartments. I also used bits from the fabulous Noteworthy package and of course, embellished with some Chipboard, Layered Chipboard and Double Dot Jewels.

Once I had the tray completed, I decided to accent the plain white crackle, so I mixed some Glimmer Spray in Frost and Mint to make a pretty aqua color to coordinate with the collection. I lightly brushed it on with a medium flat paintbrush.

I love how the Pentart Cracking Paint is so versatile and it took the color of the Glimmer Spray so nicely, I could control the depth of color easily.

Faith and Patina Effects-Mail Art project by Irene

Hello BoBunny fans! It's Irene here and for today's post, I would like to share a piece of mail art created using some fun and messy techniques. Today's mail art features the beautiful Faith collection by BoBunny and some patina effects products by Pentart.

Take a look at all the cool textures and dimensions on this mail art. I've used several mediums to create the blended textures on it. Check out the details in close-ups below.

To create the crackled background, I've used BoBunny crackle paste and primer. Then, to add colors to it, I've used glimmer spray and then patina products by Pentart.

The patina products creates the gorgeous metallic effect on this mail art. I've used Pentart Patina Effect Powder and Reagent. For depth in colors, I've also used Patina liquid. For more dimension and textures, I use Pentart 3D balls and powder.

And now, I have a little sad news to share. Today's post will be my last post here on BoBunny's DT. I've designed for BoBunny for almost 7 years and it is one of my favorite go to brands for scrapbooking and art supplies. If it is not because of some personal reasons, I would have stayed on. Thank you so much to BoBunny for giving me this opportunity and also thank you very much to all of you who has supported and liked my work here all these years.

Petal Lane and Pentart Lasur for Interiors with Ulrika

Fine Art on Easel by Ulrika Wandler

Hi all you scrappin' people out there! Ulrika here to show you this fine art piece and easel treated with Pentart Lasur which I made.

I started with using Pentarts Lasur for indoor use on the wooden easel.

When the lasur had dried I used the Pentart metallic Wax Paste and applied it gently with my fingertip. Both are easy to use.

Then I made this canvas, starting with making a crackle background with Pentart crackle paint. I have used papers and embellishments from the brand new Petal Lane collection!

I love how the ebony-colored lasur paint makes the perfect background for the pink and yellow fine art!

I used a lot of pretty chipboard pieces on my canvas.
