Down by the Sea and Cardmaking with Ginny

Hey BoBunny Peeps! Ginny here. I'm coming at ya today with two very different cards made from the same paper collection.  It just really shows the versatility of Down by the Sea. I have 1 card that is just a bit glam chic with pinks and golds. The other card is really beachy and outdoorsy.

 I think these cards would be perfect for just about any occasion.

Pink and gold together is so glam! I was inspired by the cut aparts. I've used the gold for matting and accents and stacked the cut-aparts to create a nice focal point.



To create these flower embellishments I stamped the floral image and added gold embossing powder. Once it was heat set I added a little Pearlecents for a really subtle bit of color and clipped it out leaving a small border. There's a die cut doily there tucked in under the sentiment and starfish and a layered chipboard sticker on top.

I am now completely obsessed with Confetti Paste and this gold matches my project perfectly!

This is the second card and it is really cute and beachy.

With the first card, I layered the cut aparts...but this time I added stitching for a subtle detail and texture. The focal point here is the layered chipboard sticker. Pearly accents work great with the natural feel of this card, and give it a touch of an upscale underwater feel.

I've tucked in a smaller doily this time....but added the same confetti paste and I think it looks great on both cards.

Okay that's all for me. Wishing all of you a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative : ) G

Altered Shadow Box Frame with Down by the Sea and Irit

Hello, dear crafty friends and welcome to my BoBunny Fine Arts post this week. 

Today I am going to share an alteration of a cheap plastic $1 shadow box frame made with the newly released Down by the Sea collection, some of other new BoBunny released tools and products  and a lot of old and new Pentart mediums and paints.

Take Me to the Ocean Altered Shadow Box by Irit Shalom

  

It's not a tutorial post, but still I want to share the ways this plastic box was altered.

So as it's a plastic surface I first covered it inside and out with Pentart White acrylic primer.

When it was dry I painted it with all possible blue and greenish acrylic paints from Pentart that I have in my stash.  I included the full supply list is at the end of this post for you to see.

Then I added a layer of Pentart Classic Crackle Varnish and you can see the gorgeous result mostly inside the box as the outer frame was painted with more paints and mediums and a good portion of the of the result was obscured, but the effect is still quite strong.

Then the circles were added using Turquoise and Sea Foam Glitter pastes and the new fantastic Backsplash thick stencil.

Three different BoBunny glimmer sprays were added over the dry area and I added 3D Balls and powder on the bottom to plump up the texture and give it depth.

The inside of the box was made with four layers of torn cardstock and one single die cut from the Mandala die and then the chipboard pieces were added inside and over the frame.

 Here are some close-ups to the background on the frame:

Down by the Sea and fun mixed media goodies with Emmy

Hello BoBunny fans!

Emmy here today sharing a brand new layout using the lovely Down by the Sea collection from BoBunny's newest release. And, since it is Tutorial Thursday on the blog today.

I've used may different mixed media products as well as different pattern papers, die cut embellishments and chipboard pieces to create this page. 

Here are some close ups of my project: 

To alter my background I used stencil with structure paste, some clear stamps and well placed dabs of confetti paste. 

I added glitter and confetti paste to some of my embellishments to make them sparkle, and to give more of a widespread feel of bubbles, or sand on the page. Additionallly, I ran a sewing machine without thread on the needle on some of the edges of the layout.  I think this gives ti even more texture and style.
