Layout Tutorial!

Hello BoBunny Fans!

It's Denise here today with a tutorial, using the Winter Delight Stickable Stencil and also showing 3 versions of the same page....1 layout 3 ways!

We all have different styles and that's the beauty and fabulous part of creativity. So for some, it's a much cleaner look to the page, whilst others love quite a number of embellishments and then others, are somewhere in between. So my mixed media page today, is based exactly around these 3 different styles.

However, the base remains the same and this is the tutorial, using the Winter Delight Stickable Stencil.

I started with a 300g thick water colour paper and cut it down to 29.5cm x 29.5cm. I also chose the photo that I wanted to use.

I distressed the edges of the paper and then got out the gesso, old credit card and started playing with the stencil.

 I moved it around the page so that I had a fairly good coverage of snowflakes.

I then allowed the gesso to dry. I also mixed up some Brilliant Blue and a small amount of Licorice Pearlescent paint, to give me a darker pearlescent blue, to use along with the Brilliant Blue.

I added small amounts of water to both blue shades and then went about adding colour to the background.

I used a spray bottle with water, to liberally spray all over the gesso.  Next, was to take a paint brush and add little blobs of the darker blue shade, randomly over the page.  Spray small amounts of water into the little blobs and allow the paint to run.

Allow this colour to dry and then do the same with the watered Brilliant Blue.

I then added some random dots, by turning out the spray nozzle on the Frost Glimmer Spray bottle and lightly tapping my forefinger on the plastic take-up pipe, so that I got some splashy dots. I also sprayed a small amount of Frost onto the background, holding my page at quite a distance, so that it was a very light spritz. This was then allowed to dry thoroughly.

I cut a 7 inch diameter doiley with a Martha Stewart circle punch from the stripey patterned paper, framed the 12,5cm x 9,5cm photo with a hand-torn matting, and placed this, along with a sticker onto the page. I also raised the photo with some 3D foam.

 I fussy cut some elements from the patterned papers and added some "twig" die-cuts. A title was also added using some stickers. This completed the version 1 of this page. A fairly clean design.

To create version 2 of this page, I added a frame to the background page and also distressed the edges.  I added some random stamping to the background, along with some snow-flake die-cuts and a little bling.

To create version 3 of this page, I added more embelishments, some die-cut flowers, some lattice die-cuts, some lace from a recycled scarf, some leaves and lastly, some chipboard snowflakes too.

So there you have it, 3 different takes on the same page.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Whatever your style...we just encourage you to play and have fun!

Sensational Stickable Stencil Tutorial!

3 Dimensional Cake Treat Box by Rhonda Van Ginkel



I have a fun project to share with you today featuring the new Forever Young collection and our new Borders Stickable Stencils.  The beauty of our stencils is how versatile they are in design. You'll see below how they can work in many applications where a regular rigid stencil just will not.



To begin, I used Double Dot card stock in our new colors Tangerine and Hot Pink, then also used Aquamarine as well. This project was cut using my Silhouette, then I assembled and it was ready to decorate.

I embellished the top tier with one of our new designs in the Borders Stickable Stencil package.

I applied some Wasabi Glitter Paste.

I adhered my next stencil to my base layer, note how it wraps nicely around the angles of the box!

I applied the Glitter Paste, then removed the stencil and cleaned it.

My next layer is in Aquamarine, so I mixed Wasabi and Caribbean Blue Glitter Pastes together to customize a coordinating color.

For the front of this middle tier, I used a flourish stencil, but wanted to carry the Glitter Paste design around the layer, so I used the dot stencil in the back.

This was such a pretty finishing touch.

Next I added some finishing heart embellishments from the coordinating Chipboard and Noteworthy to the middle and lower tiers. A final stencil border was applied to the top tier in Pink Punch Glitter Paste.

Once dry, I cut a pretty Flutter butterfly from our Flutter Dies set, added a bit of Sugar Pearlescents to the center and rubbed on the edges. Now my gift box is all set to add some goodies in the bottom and middle layers.

Be sure to ask for the new Borders Stickable Stencils and Glitter Paste at your favorite craft store, you'll love the extra special touch it gives your projects!

Stickable Stencil Tutorial!

Stencils and mixed media are all the rage at the moment.  They're not something I find easy!  I think because Im such a neat freak and it means getting all messy lol.  But sometimes you know less is more! So I thought I would show you a simple way to use your stencils and glimmer sprays that still looks effective.

Live the Life You Have Imagined - by Megan Gourlay

So, first of all gather all your supplies - gesso to help prime the canvas and help the sprays to 'stick' to the canvas, texture paste, a co-ordinating colour range of sprays and your favourite stencil - Im using the large strip and one of the doilies from the Lace Stencil set.

To add a bit of bang to my texture paste I've mixed it with some Mint Glimmer Spray until I got the colour I was looking for.  Place the stencil where you want to it go, and apply the paste over the design.  At this point you can air dry it but if you're like my and impatient ;) use your heat gun.

Once it was dry I place my stencil down again and applied more texture paste.  The best bit? those stencil don't move once you put them down so there's no messy bits of 'smooched' design! :)

When I apply texture to a stencil I use spatula to mix it and remove it from the container, and an old credit card to apply the paste, scrapping it down the canvas, always going in one direction.

So this is what it looks like once you've lifted the stencil off - your starting point to go crazy with your composition :)

When it was completely dry I randomly sprayed with Tutu and Mint, and began adding in some beautiful BoBunny blossoms - I love the bright rainbow effect its created!!  To add to the depth of the design I added left over buttons and chipboard banners from a mixture of collections - they didn't need to be from the same collection because this was all about colour not theme :) and its a great way to use scraps!

Designer Tip:  Add your random stamping and spray splotches after you have placed your flowers and embellishments down, that way, they end up exactly where you want them and there's no mistake to cover up!

Stamping, Steciling, and Spraying Oh My! Tutorial

This fun photo tutorial will show you how to combine stamping, stenciling, spraying and embellishing on canvas! With BoBunny mixed media your options are endless!

Hello everyone! Kaori here to share my Tutorial using Stencils.

I used this heart shaped canvas. I began by painting white Gesso to the canvas.

After drying the paint with heat tool, I use this "Written Stamp".

 

 

I added some stamping to the background.

 

I applied modeling paste over the stencils. This stencil is "Stickable", so we will be able to keep it in place on the canvas or paper.

 

 

 

 

Once the modeling paste has dried, add some mists. I used TUTU and GOLD Mists by BoBunny.

 

 

Finally, adhering the embellishments.

I hope you like this project. Thanks for stopping by!
