Marvelous Mixed Media Layout!

Hi There BoBunny Fans :)

Today I wanted to share with a mixed media layout using Take a Hike.

In the Southern Hemisphere we are heading into winter so the autumnal colours of this collection were perfect to scrap this photo of my wee fella Dougal romping around our back yard :)

To create the foundation for my background I have ripped the edges of three sheets of paper and then adhered them to my base piece of Take a Hike.

Here you can see the dimension of the long cluster. I've only applied adhesive to part of the banner so that I can curl the tips of the banner and give it a bit more oomph :)  After die cutting out all the leaves I used the die as a stencil and ink over the back of the die, onto the paper so that the leaves had all their little creases and lines which helps make them a little more real and defined.

A smaller cluster to the side of the photo ties the whole layout together :)

This close up shows you the different mixed media colours I've used.  I used the script stencil from the Brocade set, colouring the texture paste with gold glimmer spray, giving a creamy effect.  I created the darker green splatters by mixing Frost and Mint sprays with a drop of Bronze.  This was splattered randomly over the page as well as more splats of gold and bronze.  Some random stamping with my favourite stamps finished it off :)

Thanks for popping by today!

Transparent Gel On A Fun & Lovely Layout!

Good Morning! How is everyone's day going? Today I'm going to share a little tutorial using the new BoBunny Transparent Gel. What an amazing product! So I will chat as I go.. Are you ready?

Best Friends Layout by Lynn Shokoples

 I chose the Beautiful Dreamer Collection to work with on this layout. Since I laid eyes on the 12x12 Bicycle Patterned Paper I knew I just had to do a layout with it. The collection also has decoupage paper, so I had an idea I wanted to try. It was my first time working with the Transparent Gel, and let me tell you... I think it's the best adhesive I have ever used! And.. it's just not for gluing as you will see later in the tutorial.

Decoupage Paper, Buttons,Transparent Gel and the 6x6 paper pad were the first supplies I grabbed!

I cut strips from the Decoupage Paper and just rolled them into a ball with my fingers. Next I cut a circle with my punch from one of the sheets from the 6x6 paper pad. I covered the circle with the Transparent Gel and then just laid the Decoupage Paper over it in a circle, going round and round adding little bits of the gel.

 When I was done I used the Transparent Gel to glue down the buttons on the shabby flowers I had made. Once they were dried, which didn't take long at all.. those buttons were not coming off!! I just had to give them a good tug to test my theory!

Making the shabby flowers were fun, but what else could I do? I cut another strip from the Decoupage Paper, scrunched it again and used it as a border behind the Journal Contents Cards I had chosen to use. You need such a small amount of the gel, a little goes a long way.

 It gave a nice ruffled effect that was just peeking out as an added layer... and OH.. it coordinated with the shabby flower too.

 Just another peek at the flower and the ruffle.

The two extra flowers I made I used on the bicycle wheels as a little extra something. It gave the bottom of the layout added dimension.

Now everything is adhered to the layout! Wait... there is something else you can do with the Transparent Gel... if you paint it on top of something, it gives added dimension and a bit of shine!! The basket of flowers on the bicycle was the perfect element to try it on.

 See the shine?? It's such a pretty look! You can use it to accent your patterned paper, die cuts, embellishments.. the possibilities are endless! I can't wait for my next project to see what else I can do with it.

With a little stamping with the Dreamer and Rough It Up Stamps and some Emerald Double Dot Ink, my layout was done! Thank you so much for joining me today.. I hope the rest of your day is awesome! Until next time....

Luscious Layout with Provence!

Hi everyone, here is Solange Marques and today I'll share with you a layout using the new collection Provence and Rough it up Stamp.

I prolonged my photo using modeling paste, acrylic gesso and acrylic paints and I used the crackle from Rough it up Stamp around it and then I added fussy cutting from Provence collection.

 

I love to add texture on my projects and this stamp is perfect for this.

The flowers and buttons give the final touch to the layout.

This collection is wonderful and I love all of the elements of it. It is so inspirational and Rough it up Stamp is amazing and it is one of my favorite!

I hope you enjoy it!
