Garden Party and Mixed Media-Color Matching Techniques with Rhonda

Garden Party and Mixed Media Scrapbook Page by Rhonda Van Ginkel

It's Rhonda here today to share with you my a project featuring the all new Garden Party collection along with some of our mixed media products. I'll have a brief technique video for you at the end to show you how I applied some of these products to our Laser Cut Chipboard for color matching.

I created a collage of photos that coordinated nicely to the color scheme of the collection and matted it. Under the bottom of the mat I added a few cuts of the grass from the Bike Ride Dies set. Next, I cut out the elements from the Love Story paper.  I selected the Elegant paper for my background and the Fragrant paper for the brick layer. To size it, I simply placed a ruler along the edge and tore it, then finished it up with some piercing.

I determined my photo placement, then added the Royal stencil and applied Pentart Stencil Paste in Vanilla and Silver . I like to blend the colors for interest. I followed that up with some Glimmer Spray splatters in Bronze, Sugar, Gold and Mint.

While the splatters and paste were drying, I cut several die cut pieces and set them aside. The effect I was trying to achieve is a collage in the general shape of a car. It's very subtle, but you can see that I selected a few circle shaped cuts as "wheels" and a few other shapes for the front end.

Here I took several pieces and layered them in an unexpected way. The chandelier is upside down for added whimsy.

Since the photos here are of an unusual nature, I wanted to design my page in a fun way, but using a pretty collection. I love how the colors really work so well.  Here is a brief video to show you how I customized my Laser Cut Chipboard so that it coordinated with my page:

Life in Color and Pentart Metallic Wax Pastes with Irit

Hello my dear crafty friends!

it's Irit here and today is my papercrafting inspiration day here on the fabulous BoBunny blog.

I was asked to use the Life in Color collection and to add Pentart Wax Paste. So I decided to make a fancy, multi photo layout with a lot of die cutting, fussy cutting using quite a bit of Pentart and BoBunny Mixed Media products.

The new Life in Color collection is the most versatile of all the just released BoBunny collection.

It's vintage, but yet colorful and I immediately thought that it can work with my daughters wedding photos since the colors are just right.

Love layout by Irit Shalom

The whole layout was arranged as a wall of photos and I added all possible copper mediums to give it this vintage look.

Most of the photo frames were hand cut from patterned cardstock and some chipboard frames were between the cardstock ones for the dimension.

The title was made with a chipboard green frame and a chipboard Love word and the frame was rubbed with Pentart Copper Wax Paste for a very nice metal touch.

Lots of copper transfer pieces were added on the "white spaces" of the page, mostly on the left side to tie all the bits and pieces together and add lots of visual interest.

Die cuts were made with BoBunny Royal dies and I cut each one several times so I could glue them one over another to make a thick, chipboard like, look.

The keyhole was painted with Pentart Liquid Metal Copper paint.  The upper key was rubbed with Pentart Wax Copper Paste.

So as you can see all of those die cuts are treated with different copper mixed media goodies, but the look for each is totally unique.

The crowns were covered with BoBunny Copper glitter paste.  I added little accents of copper wax paste too, to various spots to tie everything in nicely.

I added Copper Wax Paste on the key and Copper Glitter paste using a stickable stencil over the photos on the right side of the page.

 Here is another look at Copper Foil Transfers over the die cuts and the cardstock.

So with this delicious Life in Color collection you can scrap all of your alloccaision photos, and even special occaision like wedding themed pics too!  You don't really need to stick with neutrals for a wedding....

Go for COLORS!

Have some fun making self made METALLIC embellishments of your own. Enjoy the process of making the page that looks like a collage of frames.

Enjoy your BoBunny products in every possible way!

Life in Color and Pentart Metallic Wax Pastes with Ginny

Hey BoBunny Peeps! Let me just tell you that I have fallen for the Pentart Metallic Wax Paste.  Not only does it add a gorgeous detail to your creations...but it is also super easy to use. For my project today I'm upcycling a plaster frame stand that I sourced at a local discount store in the markdown section.

Life In Color was the perfect pairing for this frame. It's kinda "arty" so I think the mixed media supplies work so great with it.

This frame has a lovely base with additional raised areas to highlight with the wax. It's also super heavy so there is no concern that it  might tip over.



While I had the wax paste out I added a bit of detail to the BoBunny Blossoms. To round out the arrangement there's a bit of netting and twine bows. Last but not least metal gears in coordinating silver.

I took out the glass part of the frame so I could add the brick background pattern then adhere the following layers with foam spacers.  Bling is always a good for an well placed bit of sparkle. These coordinate really well so the don't contrast with the background.

So many layers!!!! This definitely has a very dimensional look, and the wax paste does the trick in making them stand out nicely.

Here's the process of finishing the frame....

I was able to cover it in with only 1 coat of Pentart Creamy Acrylic Metallic Paint in Graphite. Yay for 1 coat!!!! After allowing to dry I used my finger and a very light touch to add the wax to the raised areas.  Easy Peasy. So much beauty for so little work!!!


Okay that's all for me today. Wishing everyone a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative.
