Life's a Beach-Altered Mixed Media Canvas with Ulrika

Life's A Beach by Ulrika Wandler

Hi, Ulrika here to show you a canvas I made with a bunch of fantastic products from BoBunny and Pentart!

I started with priming my canvas with gesso. After that I applied Bead Paste to make the background.

I also used a stencil together with gesso to make the circles (or bubbles?!).

After that I used Gel Paste to glue some 3D Powder and 3D Balls to start making the sand on the bottom of the ocean. I also glued on some sisal threads and shells. The Gold Confetti Paste is perfect to make the "sand" and the shells glitter.

I applied acrylic paint and wax paste all around the edges.

Hello My Dear Crafty Friends, 

welcome to my BoBunny papercrafting inspiration.

This time I made a Mixed Media layout where the main point is the title and not the photo.

This huge title was made over Double Dot BoBunny cardstock with large BoBunny Alphabet stencil letters.

Let's say that this was pretty much time consuming as also there are two of each letters there, but not three or four (like letter E). So I made this title by steps and covered with a thin layer of Pentart white gesso.

I like this " nonsense" title that is this " Keep calm" all over thing, but I made it my own.

And as the photo has a clock on it I added a couple of clocks with BB  stencils and one BB die cut clock.

This photo is from my daughter wedding a couple of years ago. She was totally not calm (how can she on her wedding day?). So we just said " keep calm" again and again and kept her pretty much in a calm mood as time was running till the wedding hour.
So this saying is a perfect fit to this non traditional wedding layout.

The die cut clock was covered with Copper BoBunny glitter paste and arranged over black die cut circle.

 The only embellishments here are this huge cluster made with BoBunny Serendipity collection chipboard (painted to copper color just with Pentart Copper wax paste), one new heart die cut and one single BoBunny flower that was already in this copper color.
Some background stamping was added to the "white spaces" with different BoBunny stamps.

Inspire Mini Album by Elena

Hello BoBunny Friends, it's Elena here today !

One last month is only left to enjoy the summer days. But actually I do everything to make the summer feeling last longer for me. To play with sunny colors and to fill everything with the flowers is my favorite option.

  For my post I created a fun bright mini album using Petal Lane collection. I have never tried to use this colors for my projects - I mean black, white, pink and yellow.  But now, I 've got the Petal Lane collection. It's full of inspiration!

  My mini album has lots of flaps - I like to make my mini more handy to fill them with more pictures!


I played a lot with mandalas and watercolored flowers. These papers are the pure joy to work with.

  I've never though how black color can look clean and a great base for any other colors.

  I also enjoyed making fussy cutting and revealed a new way to add more graphics to you projects - I mean the clear stickers that has a beautiful motif, a sentiment or a quote.

  I also discovered a foiled vellum as an embellishment and a pocket for the cards, tags or small pictures.
You can check my video tour for this mini where you can find how the vellum is used in this album.

 and I used the chipboard  with a brad to fix my flaps

It can hold several layers indeed

I mixed the 12x12" papers with 6x6 paper pad, and I like how the size of the patterns differs

To add more sparkling I used  Think Pink Brads - they are various in size and colors

I suggest you to check more pictures inside in my video tour:
