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!

Aryia's Garden and Pentart Wax Paste with Katherine

Hello BoBuuny fans, it's Katherine here with a Fine Art's Friday post using Aryia's Garden.  The colours are gorgeous, I focused on the fuchsia and oranges in this line and used a mix of Pentart products to compliment it.

Beautiful Life by Katherine Sutton:

For my base, I used the grey wooden floorboard style paper - Garden Petals.  To add some texture I started with the serenity stencil and texture paste, focusing on the areas around where my photo and embellishment cluster was going to be. Next, I mixed some of my Pentart acrylics. I used a mix of cream, gold and a tiny bit of red acrylic, the gold has a lot of shimmer in it.  I watered my colour mix down and applied it more like a watercolour, creating puddles of colour and then adding in extra bits of red to get a deeper orange area, finally a few flicks of the paint across the page.  The lovely thing about these paints is that even with water you still get the depth of colour.  My final layer before the papers was a little bit of stamping using the It is Written stamp set using black ink.

To create interest in my layers, I added some die-cuts - both the new Royal die-set and 4" Portrait Frames.  I embellished these in different ways - for the Portrait die-cut I added dots of gold pearlescent, and used chameleon green wax on the lock and keys.  The chameleon waxes have a gorgeous iridescent shine to them, they work particularly well on dark colours as it really stands out.  You only need a little bit and just rub it on and you get an instant shimmer - green in my case.  I then layered and distressed my papers.  Once I was happy with the arrangement I then added some of the 3D balls - attaching them with gel-medium and then colouring them with some watered down gold pearlescent.

You can see a cluster of embellishments using a mix of the chipboard and noteworthy pieces as well as one of the die-cut keys which has some wax on it.

A close up of the lock plate die with chameleon wax highlights, and some of the 3D balls covered in gold pearlescent.

For the bottom cluster, my focus piece was one of the 3D chipboards with a fleur-de-lis on it, you can also see the serenity stencil.
