ReneaBouquets DT Project- Autumn Wall Decor with Brandy

Less than a couple weeks until Halloween...are you ready!? Throughout the years, I always encouraged my children to come up with a scary costume...we've always loved the creepy side of Halloween! 
I have easily come to see that witches don't always have to scare you! 
Take Darla the Witch here....she is positively too cute to spook!

As usual, I found that like most of Renea's Beautiful Board pieces, they speak so loud and clear to me, it's a blast just gathering coordinating colors to go with them. 

Before you know it, you just have a masterpiece on your hands! :D
I used several Beautiful Board Leaves and lots of gorgeous Mulberry Roses, on top of a couple layers of fall papers, to give Darla a the perfect little spot to celebrate the season.

Here is a video of my creative process...I hope it inspires you! 

Here's a list of ReneaBouquets products used in this project:

"Me & My Big Brother" Beach Mixed Media Layout by Toni

 Hi everyone, hope you are enjoying your summertime... a big difference from last year. I'm in California and we are already experiencing triple digits !! Today I have for you a fun beach layout with lots of textures and mixed media applications. 

I added craft sand with clear crackle texture paste for some fun texture and dimension. The beautiful board pieces I used Beautiful Board Chunky Chain Link Frame Set of 2 Laser Cut Chipboard Frames which I added crackle medium and then stained with Distress Ink in Walnut Stain. 

One of our newest pieces to the store is this delightful Beautiful Word Large Me & My Big Brother Laser Cut Chipboard which I also used crackle medium on and sprayed it with Lindys Afternoon Delight Denim and DI Frayed Burlap. The Beautiful Board Starfish With Accents goes perfect with this layout as the Beautiful Board Large Nautical Anchor. Both were treated with the same crackle medium and sprayed and inked like the pieces above. 

The sweet  Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits-Seashells Laser Cut Chipboard are perfect for tucking in and around your photos. The florals I used are Navy Blue Roses and Leaves Mulberry, Mini Dusty Blue Mulberry.  To finish off the layout I also topped off some of my fussy cutting pieces with the gorgeous Gawdie Girl Diamond Fine German Glitter Glass .

Now another perfect way to add lots of texture to your projects is by using Reneabouquets No Hole Microbeads and for the month of June here is a COUPON for you to get your hands on some. Adding them to a gel medium or texture paste is perfect way to add glitz and texture to your project. Another very cool way I love to use the microbeads is to take my glue gun and drop a glob of glue in the container and cover the glue with the microbeads. It cools almost immediately take it out and use it as floral centers.... it's a fun and pretty technique... Here is the coupon details... xoxo

Altered Frame by Toni

 Hi everyone, hope you are having a wonderful month. Today I have a frame I picked up at the Dollar Store and altered it to suit one of my favorite photos of my little furry boy Bubba. This is such an easy project how you can take something inexpensive and customize it for yourself.

I did a bit of stamping on the cardstock that I used with a honeycomb stamp. Stamped it here and there around the photo. The cardstock I used is from Country Craft Creations "Bee House", a simply gorgeous collection of papers. I fussy cut some of the flowers to place around the left side of the frame to build my foundation. The florals I used are the Mini Old Gold Mulberry Paper Roses and Leaves, Caramel And Sugar Roses, Gardenia and Leaves and the Honey Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers. 

I used some BRAND NEW items from the store on this frame, first up I used Printed Beautiful Board Small Sugar Bee Hive Laser Cut Chipboard, above the corner of the photo is the Beautiful Board Small Sugar Bee Corners Laser Cut Chipboard. The gorgeous bee I used is our Sugar Bees Premium Paper Glitter Glass Bee. I also added the Beautiful Board Medium Bee Hive Elements Laser Cut Chipboard and I cut it into pieces and added 3 layers of UTEE embossing powder to it for the illusion of honey. 

Here is a close up of that pretty sugar bee. 

Then from the trinket department in the store I had to use Reneabouquets Queen Bee Clock Charms Trinket Pack. For the centers of the flowers I dropped beads of hot glue into the middle of some microbeads, wait for them to dry and then place them in the middle of the flowers. The microbeads used are No Hole Old Gold Glass Microbeads and also No Hole Pearl Glass Microbeads . 

I hope you enjoyed this project and encourage you to take a frame and do some altering to it. Wishing you a BEE utiful rest of the month... xoxo

Mixed Media "Bloom Where You Are Planted" Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, today I have a new layout to share with you with some pretty springtime goodies from Reneabouquets store. Let's get started. I first stitched around the perimeter of my background paper for interest then I wanted to highlight the pathway in the photograph therefore I tore the paper and used chocolate corrugated cardboard for the mat to bring your eye forward in the layout.  I then used Beautiful Board Grid Elements Laser Cut Chipboard on the sides of the photo to provide a garden trellis effect. It also adds some nice texture to your photo surrounding. Then I tucked the Beautiful Board Wild Flower Gears around the sides of the photo. Playing off the slight shade of peach in the photo I decided to use Soft Peach Roses and also one of my very favorite colors Antique Linen Roses. The Antique Linen is such a versatile color and goes with everything. The flowers come with some extra pretty mulberry leaves to use so I layered them with the Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits-Skeleton Leaf Chipboard. I then decided, what would a gardening layout be without the pretty Printed Beautiful Board Small Tuck It In Sweet Daisy Chipboard. I then added the Beautiful Board Small Feathers Set of 3 around the layout. To finish off the layout I added Queen Bee Clock Charm from the trinkets in the store and the gorgeous Secret Garden Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies. Of course I had to add a bit of bling to the layout so I went around the perimeter of the layout and sprinkled Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. This was a fun layout to create, fun colors to play with and I hope you enjoyed this. For your pleasure I do have a video tutorial below for your viewing. Wishing you a day filled with peace.     

                                         

Easter Easel Cards by Toni

 Hi everyone, it's Toni here today and I'm here to share a couple of fun cards created for Easter. 

There are so many items in Reneabouquets store to take your spring projects over the top, from flowers, to lace, to trinkets and beads. I love creating dimensional art and my cards are no exception. Taking this Beautiful Board Faberge Eggs With Bead Holes provided such a pretty focal point on one of the cards. I embossed it in gold and then placed it on a piece of acetate to give the illusion of floating.  The addition of the Beautiful Beads Rose Gold Iridescent Pearls matched beautifully with the paper I chose for the card . 

Around the perimeter of the wreath I added pretty little Beautiful Beads Candy in Pale Pink. I then used the metal frame from the Mermaid Trinkets Pack to put my sentiment on the card. 

For my second card I decided to emboss in silver our Beautiful Board Word Happy Easter for my focal point. Also adhering it to acetate for a floating effect. 

The butterfly I chose to add to this card is the Lavender Fairy Dust Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterfly. The flowers I added are the Purple Roses and Leaves and also the Plum Roses and Leaves. I also added some Beautiful Beads Candy in Lavender on the top of the embossed flowers. To finish off both card fronts, it's very subtle but adds just the perfect bit of sparkle I added Gawdie Girl Fine German Glass Glitter. It provides a soft sugary look to the cards without over doing it. 

Hoping this provided a new technique and some ideas to use your Reneabouquets art items on your project. Wishing you a month filled with new beginnings, a fresh start and peace.

Hi everyone, hope you are having a nice February. Today I have a romantic layout with lots of pretty items from Reneabouquets store. 

Inspired by the soothing colors in my photo I kept all my embellishments soft and subtle.I started by doing some sewing on my machine around the perimeters of the background and also around the ephemera around the photo. That can provide a pretty shabby look to your layout. 

Reneabouquets pretty  Printed Beautiful Board Large Tuck It In Cherry Blossoms Laser Cut Chipboard provide the base of my embellishments. The beautiful board used on the layout are  Follow Your Heart Doilies Chipboard, Beautiful Board Small Eiffel Tower Laser Cut Chipboard and Beautiful Board Large Butterfly Flourish Set Of 4 Laser Cut Chipboard,

In the Reneabouquets store you will find a plethora of different mulberry flowers that are hand designed by Renea herself and handmade here in the USA. The florals I chose to use here are  Mini Dusty Pink Mulberry Paper Roses & Leaves Set, White Roses,Gardenias & Leaves Mulberry Flowers, Antique Linen Roses, Gardenia And Leaves Flower Set, Mini White Mulberry Paper Roses And Leaves Set of 24

I love to finish off my layouts with a bit of bling and I used  , 3 Ounce Beautiful Beads Hearts Of Glass, 2 Ounce Gawdie Girl Diamond Shard German Glitter Glass, and Hand Tinted Pale Pink Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass.

Reneabouquets Design Team Page, Sleep And Dream, by Melissa Larson

 

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Reneabouquets. Go and see all the fun treasures there!

Photo credit:Unsplash

@mlarson525 I have a 29 second Instagram video of when I started painting this page.

To make this page I applied clear gesso to 49 and Market paper. I put the layers under the photo together,starting with taping on watercolor paper under the image to make it stronger. Below that is a mat of watercolor paper, and under that is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most the paper from the surface of the cardboard, and painted it with gesso. I put two or three layers of corrugated cardboard between each layer to add dimension. 

I put the layers with the photo onto the page. I applied Prima Platinum Crackle Paste with a stencil to the paper with an old credit card. 

I picked out Beautiful Board(BBoard),prepped it with gesso, painted it with green and gold Shimmerz on the leaves and stars, and topped them with a thick coat of Clear Rock Candy Crackle. I painted the BB Small Stackable Honey Bee Pattern with Pixie Dust Shimmerz, then a little green Shimmerz and some crackle.I added a few pieces of Sweet Daisy BBoard.

To add visual interest I added micro beads, seed beads,glass glitter, glass beads, pearls, Swarovski crystals, rhinestones,sequins,gold leaf, pressed flowers and leaves,tulle,iridescent wrapping paper, flowers from Reneabouquets , metal from Reneabouquets, clay pieces from a Prima Mould,a glass bottle I put some chain inside,and bling and metal from my stash. There are small fussy cut pieces from Graphic 45 papers.

I made the background with layers of Shimmerz paints, white ink,Prima waxes,alcohol ink, distress ink, and citrine colored Mica powder. I topped a lot of the page with a gold paste by Shimmerz. I added white gesso to make some negative space, because the page got too busy. I flicked on white ink at the end.

I glued on iridescent wrapping paper on the copper spoon, and glued moonstones on top. I wrapped on some copper wire. I added shimmerz paint, prima waxes, and mica powder. The little orange things are seeds from a flower from a bunch that my husband surprised me with a few weeks ago.

Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!

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!!
