Life in Color and Pentart metallic Wax Pastes with Solange

Hello BoBunny fans!!

It's Solange Marques here. Today I'll share with you a new mixed media project using Life in Color collection and Pentart Metallic Wax Pastes!

I've made a canvas for this post. 

I've glued "Life in Color Bricks" on the canvas. Then I applied BoBunny white gesso (quite unevenly) on some bricks to get more texture.

After that dried, I applied Pentart Wax Paste on them.  See how it highlights the texture of the dry gesso?

I added fussy cuttings of the elephant and the octopus/

I've applied wax paste on some places of the elephant and the tag, too.

I love to make this canvas! It's so crazy!

For me, the bricks represent real life, the reality and the winged elephant is the dream, the freedom. And everything is possible on the dreams !!

The octopus represents everything that tries to envelop us with its arms and hold us. But we can always chose to between the dreams and the freedom or the arms of reality and commitments. Is it too crazy? I love how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Life in Color and Pentart Metallic Wax Paste with Irene

Hello Everyone! It's Irene here and my assignment for today is to create a layout with 3 different looks using BoBunny's Life In Color collection with Pentart Metallic Wax Paste. Here is a collage of my layout in 3 versions.

Now, let's take a look at my first layout. It's a clean and simple layout which only involves some cutting and pasting onto the layout. I've cut out several images from the pattern papers and use them to layer on the layout.

Moving on to the second layout. This time, I've raised the difficulty a bit by adding some mixed media techniques on it. I've done some stamping, misting, inking and stenciling on it.

Finally, here is the third layout. This time, I've cut out more intricate images from the pattern papers to add to the layout. I've also added several different elements such as die-cuts and flowers to it. I've cut out some keys and key holes using the Royal dies by BoBunny. The die-cuts and flowers are painted with some Pentart metallic wax paste to create the shiny look on it. To give more dimension to this layout, I've added some brads and BoBunny transparent gel (extra shine!) to some of the embellishments.

Below are some close-ups on this layout.

Hope you all like today's layouts and see you all soon!

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.

Life in Color and Pentart Wax Pastes with Angela

Hi Everyone!

It's Angela here today to share with you my new mini album made using the awesome MiscMe Journal Cards of Life in Color Collection. 

I have many photos to show you, so let's start immediately! As you can see from the cover, it's a Boy album, about my son Filippo who is in love with Lego. So, I've thought, why not to try making a Lego cover? 

I stole a few bricks from Filippo's basket (don't tell him, please) and I put together the word BOY as title of the mini album. Then, I covered all the bricks and the cardboard cover using Wax Paste by Pentart, it gives a fantastic shiny Silver effect!

If you have sons like me, Life in Color is the collection for you.

These are the inner pages which are made using the MiscMe Journal Cards.

They have wonderful mixed media designs, perfect for use as backgrounds.

I used some of them to mat the photos, too.

Some Cards have beautiful quotes, like the one I've used above.

In some of the other misc me cards, I've written my journaling.

The one below is a big Card, 6x8 inches, folded in the middle to hold a photo.

This is another page, made out of a 6x6 paper, actually a leftover piece.

I punched some letters for a previous project and I thought to use it as inner page of the mini

The last page is about my sleeping son.

I hope you like my mini album and thanks for stopping by.

Have a great day.

Love,

Angela

Life in Color and Pentart Wax Paste with Marilyn

Hello everyone! It's Marilyn here with you today. Today is Sunday and that means it's time for a party project! Let's see what I created...

I made party favor bags and cards with the new Life in Color collection. I wanted to make Happy Birthday unisex cards and bags that they don't look too feminine or masculine.  

I used the Tag Dies and the Sentiments stamp to make the tags for the bag and the card.

I applied the Chameleon wax paste with my finger over the tags, it gave a translucent shine to the tags, so pretty!

I'm going to explain you how I made the party favor bags, I used one 12" x 12" paper and cut it in half to create two bags.

For each bag you need a piece of 6" x 11 1/2".

Score the paper as you can see in the picture.

Then turn the paper and make scores at 1 1/2", 4 1/4" and 5 1/4" as you can see in the photo.

Make these cuts on the paper.

Fold all the scores  and add glue or tape over the last corner of the box as you can see in the photo .

Fold and glue the bottom of the box.

I used some glue dots to close the top of the bag.

The final result, it's easy and fun to make!
