How To Alter Your Scrapbook Layout Background

Hello BoBunny fans!

Emmy here today sharing a brand new layout I've created using the amazing Family Heirlooms collection from BoBunny's newest release. This post comes with a short tutorial on how I am altering my background paper and what products I use in the process. I hope you will enjoy it!

How to alter your background paper:

Step 1: Using a sponge dauber cover the middle part of the patter paper with a see through layer of gesso to soften the color. Let it air dry.

Step 2: Mark the position of your picture on the background paper with a pencil. Using clear stamps and black ink create your design around it. Let it air dry. 

Step 3: Once the ink has dried, add a shimmering layer using glitter paste and a stickable stencil. Let it air dry. 

Once your are satisfied with your background paper, continue to arrange your design.

To decorate my page I used fussy cut images and pre-cut embellishments from the Noteworthy pack matching the collection.

I also added die-cut embellishments, stickers and chipboard stickers.

As a final touch I added rhinestones, shimmering brads and rhinestone flourishes.

I hope I managed to inspire you today!

Have a wonderful creative week!

Today, Ilene and Kaori are sharing with us some layouts they created using some of the BoBunny Stamps. BoBunny recently released several new stamp designs as part of their Essentials Collection. Some of these coordinate with their new collections, but all of them are very versatile as you will see in the layouts below.

LOOK WITHIN by Ilene Tell

"The Avenues collection was just perfect for this picture of my son being so fascinated by the nook in the tree. The doors and windows and keyholes theme of the paper worked well with the photo and the title of my layout. The only thing that wasn't perfect was that I needed a wood grain pattern - and here is where the wood grain stamp comes in. It added the perfect touch to finish off this layout!"

DESIGNER TIP: If you want to add a texture stamp somewhere on the layout, and have it fade out toward the center, simply add ink to the stamp and then use your finger to tap the edge and smudge the ink - as a result, you will get a "fade-out" effect.

LOVE AUTUMN by Kaori Fujimoto

"It tends to be difficult to make a stained texture by yourself, and it tends to go wrong. But you can achieve this look easily with the Stained Textures stamp. The Curly Q Stamps are very versatile because of the different sizes and shapes that are part of this set. With the Autumn Song Stamp Set, I adhered a jewel to the center of the stamped image. By placing these in opposite corners, I achieved a nice, balanced design."

DESIGNER TIP: I did the stamp in piles, without attaching ink, after applying the stamp first.
A deep pattern, an overlap and a three dimensional effect is then achieved.
