ReneaBouquets Design Team Project Altered Paint Brush w/ Brandy

Hi there fans of ReneaBouquets! Brandy here to share the paint brush I altered for my partner for the July Swap. I've been excited for these little turtle corners for some time now, so glad I found the perfect home for them.

One of my summer Beautiful Board favorites are these starfish! They come with those tiny little Beautiful Bit flowers that I heat embossed with a pinkish powder. I loved dressing it all up with beautiful beads!

I used a cheap 4 inch paintbrush... I think these are the best size to alter! :D I decided to keep this brush natural looking, so after painting it with a coat of gesso, I inked the edges with some yellow/tan ink.

I just love all that ReneaBouquets detail and sparkles! I hope it inspires you to create something of your own! Thank you for stopping by today!!

An Altered Paintbrush by Jenn DuBell

Hello everyone! Jenn here today sharing a pretty altered paintbrush created using many beautiful Reneabouquets products!

For this project I started with an old wooden paintbrush from our home improvement stash. I coated it in heavy white gesso and let it dry. Using black ink and clear embossing powder, I stamped some script on the handle. The brush bristles were lightly painted with a nice aqua acrylic paint.
Finally I added all of the beautiful Reneabouquets yummies! Please see the list below for everything used here:

Printed Beautiful Board Small Vintage Fairy Bell

Beautiful beads Designer Glass - Moonstone

Ice Fairy Mint Green Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies

Black Teardrop Lace

Seafoam Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers

Mini Black Mulberry Paper Roses and Leaves Set

Reneabouquets Mixed Media Create Canvas and New March Moodboard Challenge

Good morning! We are already into March...March means spring right? Nope. Not here in Alaska. It means snow. At least this year it does. We had minimal snow all winter, but in the last couple weeks we have gotten about 2 feet of it. I don't mind though, I love the snow. It is so pretty, bright and sometimes, when the sun hits it just right, it sparkles like glitter.

I am ready for warm weather and pretty flowers, however. Which is the reason for the theme of the Reneabouquets March Spring Mood Board Challenge.

For the challenge inspiration, I made a mixed media canvas using aprox. one ton of Reneabouquets items. Seriously though, take a look at the long list at the bottom of this post!

Here is the Spring Mood Board for the March challenge.

I was inspired by the flowers and soft colors in the mood board. Which is why I used tons of Reneabouquets Mulberry Paper Flowers.

I have been wanting to do an altered paint brush for the longest time. Not sure why I waited so long to do it, but I sure love how it turned out on this canvas.

I used many Reneabouquets Beautiful Board pieces, glitter glass, pearls, and butterflies. Every item used from Reneabouquets gives this piece endless charm.

To make the soft colors, I painted over everything with gesso. I did a couple of layers to achieve the look that I wanted.

After the gesso had dried I placed the Beautiful Beads Coppered Teal Iridescent Pearls on the canvas. I love these pearls! They are even more gorgeous in person than they are in the picture.

I was able to create lots of yummy textures on my canvas by using stencils, Ranger Tim Holtz Opaque Crackle Texture Paste and sand. I simply mixed sand straight into the Ranger Tim Holtz Opaque Crackle Texture Paste and then used the Ranger Ink Dina Wakley Media Palette Knife Set

to spread the mixture over the stencil.

The little dots you see here are made out of hot glue. Genius right?!? Yep, that was my 6 year olds idea. She is an artist herself. I love that she enjoys helping me with my projects.

Please come and join us in this fun Spring Mood Board challenge! You can find the event HERE in the Reneabouquets Facebook group. The random winner will receive this prize package...
