Christmas Cards Galore! FaLaLa with Katherine

Hi BoBunny fans, it is getting to that time of year where we all start to think about Christmas cards and the Falala collection is perfect for them.

Katherine Sutton: Falala Christmas Cards

I have created lots of different cards, and all of them are easy to put together, Falala has some beautiful elements you can cut out, and I have teamed this with some BoBunny stamps.

For the first card I stamped my snowman (Holly Jolly stamp set) and then coloured in his ear muffs with some watered down Pentart Red Creamy Acrylic, adding a little bit of the Sugar Glitter Paste to his body to add some sparkle.  I used one of the journal cards in Falala to create a wintry background and used some of the Silver Metallic Stencil Paste to add a couple more snowflakes.  I die cut Merry Christmas (Christmas Card dies), added some ribbon and more layers of paper from the 6" FaLaLa pad and it was ready to go.

For Joy to the World I used the beautiful Christmas Card die set, I love the snowflake frame and the journal card fit it perfectly.  I added some Sugar Pearlescent dots around the edge of the journal card and Glitter Paste to the snowflakes and it was complete.

Here you can see some of the glitter paste and stencil paste up close.

I used the navy's in the pack for my next card, and cut out the tag and baubles from the noteworthy sheet.  Lots of layering and a few gold pearlescent drops, a bit more glitter paste on the bulbs and it was done.

Here is a close up of the tag, I added some gems to the centres of the flowers and for the berries.

I couldn't stop there as I have seen some beautiful videos on media inks and after my experiment with the pouring paint technique, I wanted to have a go at creating some backgrounds.

I used some glossy photo paper, and then added a mix of the inks (Hollyhock and bronze for the first card and Egyptian blue and bronze for the second), swiping a brush across the page in a diagonal direction.  Once the backgrounds were dry I stamped and used die-cuts to decorate them.

I also played with some backgrounds where I created puddles of media ink (Blues: Egyptian Blue, grape leaf and jade, for the reds - hollyhock and bronze) and then used some of the media ink dilutent to lighten areas.  I used areas of these backgrounds with the circular textures stamps to make baubles.

Here you can see the media ink backgrounds and the stamps up close.

My final card was using the backgrounds with the Russian dolls from the Feeling Festive stamp set, teamed up with some of the papers from Falala.

Hopefully I have given you lots of ideas for some fairly quick cards to make!

First of all, I blend my photo on the background using Pentart acrylic paints:

 

Then I stamped some butterflies on the background:

Life in Color and Pentart Media Inks w Ayumi

Hello Bo Bunny Friends,

Today I will introduce canvas layout using the Life In Color collection from Bo Bunny with Pentart Media Inks.

Love by Ayumi Iwashita

Layered Chipbord of the Life In Color collection is shiny, very beautiful and gorgeous.

3D balls lends a really interesting textured effect because of the variation of shape and size.

This is it . . .

Apply Acrylic Paint Metallic (Blue) around the canvas.

Metallic is shiny and very beautiful.

The next step is spray Glimmer Sprays (Mint, Frost, Gold) closer to the canvas.

Prepare transparent paper (3 sheets) and white paper (1 sheet) and stick on the canvas.

Stick white paper under the transparent paper.

Drop a few drops of media inks on transparent paper.

Stand the canvas so that the ink flows downward, in a kind of dripping pattern.

Also, lay the canvas sideways so that it flows down sideways.

Use the Media Ink Diluent, it blurs the ink and gives a cool variation in the shade and depth of the colors..

Do you see the difference?

`Cut small aluminum foil, then wrinkle it up a bit.

Stick it on the canvas.

Drop the Media inks on the aluminum foil as well.

Doodles Stamp with black ink.

Finally, I paint Glossy Varnish on the canvas and dry it.

When the canvas is completed, you can decorate this further with pattern paper, chipboard, and D balls as shown

Thanks for joining me today.

Have a fabulous day!

Life in Color and Pentart Media Inks with Angela

Hi Everyone!

Glad to meet you again here on the BoBunny blog.

I have a fun mixed media project to share with you, a canvas I will certainly hang up on my Gallery Wall!

The quote gave me the idea for making this little piece of art.

The broken wall is made using Bricks paper from the new Life In Color BoBunny line, which is so inspiring to me, an amazing collection for any mixed media project.

Vibrant colors are flowing out from the broken wall, breathing life to flowers and possibilities.

Media Inks are perfect to achieve this shiny result, because they are really bright and sparkling.

I want to leave you with this note of hope from all my heart.

Love,

Angela

Life in Color and Pentart Media Inks with Marilyn

Hello everyone! Marilyn here with you today to share One Layout in Three Ways, three different stages during the creative process of my page until I get the final result.

I'm using the new beautiful Life in Color collection and the Pentart Media Inks.

Here are the three different stages on my layout: Basic, Intermediate and Advanced.

I started my #1 basic- layout creating textures on the paper. First, I applied gesso with a paintbrush  and  made big paint splashes with the Pentart Media Ink in the Coral-blue color on the paper. Next, I added textures with the Serenity Stickable stencil and gesso and added dimension with the Life in Color chipboard.  I'm going to explain you how I did the washi tape that I added to the background..

I put three pieces of masking tape over my craft mat.

I painted the "masking tape" with the Pentart media ink in orange and coral blue colors.

 I stamped the tapes with the new  Doodles Stamp and a permanent ink.

" Intermediate Level"

 I added more phones and images that I cut out from the papers and to add  dimension I used 3D tape foam on some of the phones.
I put some Aqua Brads and made white paint splatters over the page. I cut out one frame from Utopia paper to place my photo. 

I made some gears with the "Gearing Up Dies"

 "Advance Level"

In the Third Level, I added pearls from the Emerald Jewels and added more textures with the Pentart 3D Powder with the express glue. Once the 3D powder was dry, I painted it with the Pentart Media ink- orange color. Finally, I covered the photo then I added white paint splatters over all the area.

 "Advance Level"

Here's the final result a layout with lot of textures, layers and dimension

I hope you find some inspirations! Here is the full list of products ...
