Garden Party-A Decorated Planters Box with Ulrika

Garden Party Flower Tray by Ulrika Wandler

Summer is coming to an end here in Sweden, northern Europe. But I still want to see some flowers, so I altered this flower tray. It was painted white already, but I added some papers and embellishments.  Here is the "before" picture . . . .

. . . And here is the "after" picture!



These doilies are so cute, and perfect to use like this.



My first time making these paper rosettes, I guess you can tell that by the looks of them... But I will make them again, and I think I will be better at it!

These lasercut chipboard hearts are also so cute! Very pretty to use as
they are, but fun to paint. I first made them black simply using a ink
pad. After that I added Pentart Chameleon Wax Paste for that shimmery greenish finish!

Life in Color Altered Mixed Media Canvas with Irit

Hello my Dear Crafty Friends!

Welcome to my new BoBunny post. Today I am going to share a pretty big altered Mixed Media canvas.  I am still waiting for my new BoBunny collections to come from the US and thanks to our very " fast" postal service it will take  a few more days or even weeks. So I decided to make a project with the Life in Color collection using BoBunny products which are just perfect for any Mixed Media project.

"Trust Your Journey" an Altered Mixed Media Canvas by Irit Shalom

The base was made over the flat 13.5*9.5'' canvas, but if you don't have any you  can use a thick chipboard piece as this is just a base for those chipboard rectangles glued over the canvas.

I used old recycled chipboard and just arranged them to fit the canvas size. Four brads were added in each and every  piece,  the very simple small craft store brads for the background. The larger, decorative ones are from BoBunny.

Then the background was first painted with black gesso, misted with bronze spray and waxes were added randomly.

Three BoBunny stencils were used with glitter paste mostly on the outer spots of the project with large clock added partly in the middle.

I used a couple of chipboard sets for the main spot in the middle as the background and the sentiment.

Die cuts were made from BoBunny Double Dot Cardstocks and painted to this vintage patina look with a combination of Pentart Paints.  BoBunny flowers were painted and misted too to achieve this metallic look (originally green).

 Now let me show the whole project again and then to show you some close-ups.

 This is the central spot from the front:



And here how it looks from the side:



 And my altered flowers :



 More close-ups to background:



 On this photo you can see the white stamped background and 3D powder mixed with gel paste and acrylic paint.
Also you can see the gold transfers, stenciled part and different mediums over the background.

I hope that you liked my Mixed Media project today.  Everything here is BoBunny or Pentart, except the recycled chipboard and small brads.  So you don't need to scroll a lot of shops, but to go to BoBunny shop and to get whatever you need to make the similar project.

Be the Light-Mixed Media Layout-with Elena O

"Be the Light" Layout

Hello BoBunny friends. Elena is here today.

August is one of my favorite months, and I like it for the colors it is filled with - mostly bright colors like tan, gold, yellow and  orange.

However I love these colors in my daily life and for my today's post it was a bit of fun to use them for my layout.

  I used Faith collection and it is bold and bright, full of expression.

  I started with creating the layers over my 2 pictures, and since my youngest holds the large ball in his hands, it has determined the shape for the most part of my embellishments

  I cut out some of the scalloped circles from the papers, as well as some doodled flowers.

  Then I followed the circle theme and stenciled some of them with the glitter paste

I also played with coloring some spaces with Pentart acrylic paints.

But the main focus was this light bulb, and the phrase within it.
