Vintage Altered Wine Bottle with Solange

Hello Everyone! It's Solange Marques here on the BoBunny blog today!

When the mood to craft strikes me, I love to create unique projects using everyday items.  So, today I'll share with you an altered wine bottle I crafted using BoBunny Stickable Stencils, mixed media sprays and pastes with a few bits of the "Only You" collection.  One thing I adore about this collection is that it is full of vintage styled elements that become the inspiration of my projects.

First I've covered the bottle with BoBunny Gesso and after with a few different but similar colors of acrylic paint to give it textrue and interest. Then I've applied modeling paste using a Stickable Stencil. Then, I applied ink pad on stencil just slightly shifted so it created a kind of ghosted pattern.

I've cut out some of my favorite elements from the papers- the cherub, hearts, flowers and leaves papers which I then glued on the bottle.  Then, I used three different colors of Glimmer Spray, to give the bottle an antique feel, and just a hint of shimmery sparkle. 

To finish the look, I've added a length of distressed, double metallic, wired ribbon, purposely knotted and formed for a non uniform touch.  Finally, a splash of color using BoBunny crocheted blossoms.

I've made a video to show how I've created it.

Thanks for stopping in today!  Hope to see you again!

Fun With Winter Wishes!

Hi everyone, it's  Solange Marques again and today I'll share with you a party piece using Winter Wishes collection and Pentart Dekor paints.

I've made a tray for a tea  party to heat the winter:

First, I applied Dekor Paint Primer on the wood tray

 Then, I've applied Grey Dekor Paint on the tray and glued a resin piece on the tray

Then, I've painted the resin piece using Grey Dekor Paint:

A tip: apply a candle on the edges of the tray and on the some places where you want to leave the gray paint showing

Then I've applied Victorian Pink Decor Paint

To obtain vintage or shabby chic styling after drying, I've polished the edges and some places to show the first layer of the paint.

To protect the surface painted, I've used Dekor Vanish Matte.

Now, I just decorate the tray with the wonderful Winter Wishes collection:

And add a splash of BoBunny white gesso

To finish it,  I've applied some jewels

Jewels: Double Dot Tuxedo
Gesso: White

Technique Tuesday with Gesso!

Hello everyone!! It's Solange Marques here. I'm so excited to share with you another project using BoBunny products!

I love art journal pages and the lot of techniques that I can use on them. The new collection Bella Rosa is wonderful and so romantic. I've used this collection on my project today.

For Technique Thursday, I chose some techniques using BoBunny White Gesso

Art Journal Page by Solange Marques

I love these techniques.

I glue all of the elements on the pages and then I cover the pages with BoBunny Gesso White and after, I remove the excess of the gesso using baby wipes.

Using this technique I get a cloudy appearance on page.

After, just add some stamps and stickers.

Here the finished pages:

You can use the gesso to cover laser cut chipboard:

And you can use gesso and water to get splashes:

1 Layout 3 Ways With Butterfly Kisses

Welcome to another post of one layout, three ways. Today I'll be sharing the three stages my layout went through before I felt it was complete. I love to add more and more elements and textures on my layouts .

On the first stage I melt the photo on the background using acrylic paints, I applied modelling paste on the BoBunny mask and I add some cut outs from Butterfly Kisses and laces.

For the second stage I added BoBunny Blossoms (I love them)! I also applied BoBunny gesso on the Blossoms and I added some butterflies.

It could be ready this way, but I wanted more textures on my layout, then I added some beads and I applied BoBunny gesso on them and on the laces. I applied BoBunny Crackle Paste on some places  and after I used BoBunny glimmer sprays to get the result that I wanted.
