Firecracker & Blossoms!

Hello BoBunny fans! Are you ready for another mixed media project from me? For today's project, I've chosen to use the bright and fun, "Firecracker" collection with some blossoms.

Sea Of Knowledge by Irene Tan

I've chosen to use the Dahlia blossoms to add to this boyish layout. It helps to add some colors and soften the layout but still being able to avoid it being too feminine. I love how these blossoms add so much textures and dimensions to the layout.

For the mixed media part, I've used several techniques to create the textures, design and layers in the background, For layering, I've created a stenciled big circle using inks. I've also painted the area underneath the photograph with black gesso and later stenciled on top of with using "Oh My Stars" stickable stencil and glitter paste. For a little distressing, I've sprayed it with some gold and bronze glimmer spray.

To create the title, I've used the "Alphabet" stickable stencil and sticker. Hope you all find this layout inspiring and start playing! See you all soon!

Sunday Funday With Take A Hike!!

Hello Everyone!

It's Denise here today, on this Sunday Funday, to share some "Take a Hike" party decor.

I made some invitations and party bags, along with a lantern and some flags.

Here's a closer look at the lantern.

It's based on a Chinese lantern template and then I just added some twine and some accents.

I also made a cross holder at the bottom to hold a tea-light candle.

I had a lot of fun with the invitations.  I used some Misc. Me cards to create these invitations and then did some paint splattering, along with a whole lot of stamping.

Here's another view of these invites.

I also made some party bags and just decorated them, fairly simply with a Misc. Me card and some stamping.

Lastly, I made some flags, for decor or which one can also use on treasure hunts etc. to mark or lead the way.

My sons 9th Birthday is coming up soon and I think he will be very chuffed if we are able to use these goodies for his party! ;-)

Will you "Take a Hike" and get on the trail of this fun and gorgeous collection?

Thanks so much for stopping by the BoBunny blog today!
