"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

"Be Curious" Mixed Media Vintage Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, hope you all are staying safe and healthy. Today I have for you a layout filled with mixed media layers and textures. 

I first started by adding some machine stitching around the perimeter of the layout then I wanted to add some texture to the base of the layout utilizing some textured crackle paste through different stencils. I chose the Beautiful Board pieces I wanted to use and gave them all a coat of Rock Candy Crackle Paint.

 

The Beautiful Board pieces I chose were Beautiful board Large April In Paris Adornment Pattern,  Beautiful Board Deco Gears Set of 4 Laser Cut Chipboard,  Beautiful Board April In Paris Doily #2 Set of 3 (I used the largest doily).  I then decided to create a little book out of vintage stained papers which I took about 7 and sewed down the middle to create pages. Then ran it through a texture fade with the alphabet and distressed the pages with distress oxide ink.

For a pretty vintage feel I used Reneabouquets White Wide Floral Embroidered Lace.  The Butterfly I used on this layout is the Salted Caramel Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies.   

It was now time to add the flowers, The flowers I chose are Dark Brown Roses Mulberry Paper Flower Set, Soft Peach Roses And Leaves Mulberry Paper Flower Set, Mini Soft Peach Mulberry Paper Flower Set, Antique Linen Roses, Gardenia And Leaves Flower Set and Peach Roses And Leaves Mulberry Paper Flower Set. 

To compliment the layout I added some sparkle utilizing Reneabouquets Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. I hope you enjoyed this layout and now for your pleasure I have added a video of me creating this layout below. Hope you enjoy ..... blessings. 

"Sweet" 12 x 12 Layout by Toni

Hi everyone... it's so good to be back. I took a couple months off due to the quarantine and was assisting my parents, but so happy to be back at my craft table and to be creating with you all again. Today I have a layout of a very special friend of mine and her precious little boy. This layout is full of dimension and of course Reneabouquet goodies, so let's get started.

I started off using Blue Ferns gorgeous paper collection "A Romantic Life" and I chose two different papers and deconstructed them to create a dimensional custom background. The video below will show you my entire process. 

I love adding dimension and textures to my projects and there are so many different items in Reneabouquets store that can help you accomplish this. On my layout I utilized seed beads, chunky glitters and some of the beautiful board pieces like the one I used on this layout "Grid Elements" just gives your eye something special to look at. 

With a combination of beautiful papers and products and just a little bit of imagination, layouts like this one are very simple to achieve. I hope you take a moment to sit back and view the video so you can watch my creative process. And if you need a little more inspiration, why not participate in our Moodboard challenge.

"Lazy Daze" Mixed Media Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, hope you are having a spectacular month! Today I have a mixed media layout I created using several pretty pieces from Reneabouquets store. Let's get started !

I love dimension in my layouts so for the foundation I took some cardstock and ran it through a Sizzix embossing folder "wood grain" and also inked the embossing folder to give the texture an old wood appeal. Then I cut the cardstock in strips and distressed the edges. To create dimension, every other strip of cardstock I applied cardboard to the back and that raised up those strips on my layout. This provided a "shiplap" look. The photo used really provided my color palette for the layout, so I kept it pretty neutral with pops of red and black shades provided by Reneabouquets pretty mulberry flowers. All supplies are listed below. 

I did use several beautiful board pieces from Reneabouquets and they are gorgeous in their natural state, but I gave each one a little different mixed media touch. The bottom corner is the NEW Wrought Iron Panel.... gorgeous !!!!! I sponged on some green and brown paints and allowed to dry then went over it with Deco Art Crackle Varnish. For the Fancy Fall Tuckins I gave a coat of the crackle varnish and then added a bit of bronze shimmer wax here and there. 

The Clockwork gears I painted with black gesso, then crackle varnish and topped also with bronze shimmer wax. The Feather Set I embossed with bronze EP. Then to finish off the layout I included one of Reneabouquets handmade Delicate Beauty Glitter Glass Butterflies. I hope you will give your layouts a sense of dimension by trying out this simple technique... Wishing you a week plump full of goodness and "lazy daze"... hugs 

Supplies Used 

Beautiful Board Wrought Iron Panel 5x7 Laser Cut Chipboard 

Beautiful Board Medium Feathers Set of 3 Laser Cut Chipboard 

Mini Black Mulberry Paper Roses and Leaves Set

"Sweet As Honey" Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, Toni here with a new ReneaBouquets design team project. Today I have for you a spring filled layout with lots of ReneaBouquets products.

To start off with I wanted dimension on my page so with a duplicate sheet of the sunflower paper I fussy cut some of the flowers, adhered on chipboard, distressed the edges and then using 3D foam squares applied to the coordinating flower. (You can watch my process in the video below). Then to enhance those pretty flowers I used Black Microbeads from ReneaBouquets store. 

I used Black Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel on my Beautiful Board "Sweet As Honey". The gorgeous Queen Bees with glass wings are made lovingly in ReneaBouquets store. 

Beautiful Board is just the perfect accents to tuck away to embellish your projects, and what can I say about the mulberry flowers, but they are just perfect (All products will be listed below in the video discription).

"Be Present" Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, so excited to share with you my very first design team project for Reneabouquets. Inspired by the beautiful mood board this month, the softness but vintage feel of the board help direct me with my layout.

I started with the background using Blue Fern's Happy Accident paper collection. Randomly I sewed around the edges of the paper and then added a bit of sprays, texture paste and ReneaBouquets Mermaid Shard Glitter Glass mixed with some clear crackle paste to add interest to the background. 

My title reflects my inspirational words for 2019.  Here is an explanation I found om the computer regarding "Be in the present" .... In order to learn from the past and also lead to your future goals then being in the present moment and focusing on what you do on that particular second is very important. 

Several pieces of Beautiful Board, Mulberry flowers, beads, pearls butterflies help bring the layout together. I have a list below of all products used. 

For your pleasure I have included a process video below. Wishing you a day filled with peace and creativity.

Let Your Spirit Take Flight

 Hi everyone! Melissa here with a page for Reneabouquet!  I was inspired by this photo to create a background with soft colors, and textures with swirling movement. I thought the Beautiful Board, or BB, I chose, fit the bill to reflect the elegance of the dancer.

To make this page I used a Prima stencil and applied texture paste. I used watercolors to paint everything. I have the photo mounted on watercolor paper. I put a layer of foam core board between the photo and the watercolor paper, and two layers of foam core board between that and the bottom layer. For the BB, I prepped it with gesso, painted it pink, and applied a layer of Ranger Crackle Paint. 

To add visual interest I used Glossy Accents to glue on the following,a Reneabouquet dragonfly, mica flakes, micro beads, seed beads, crystals, metal, bling, sequins,shells, glass,black tulle, gold leaf, glass glitter,lichen, feathers, pressed flowers,gold embroidery floss, and more.

Almost everything has a little gesso dry brushed on it. I added more watercolors to the BB, and kept adding layers of color to the page. 

I painted the raised areas of the texture paste with Art Alchemy Sparks Acrylic paint and watercolors too. I coated that with a thick layer of Crackle Paint. I outlined the painted areas with a detail brush and a mix of  watercolor crayon and water. I could have used black gesso but this way was less of a mess.

One of the last steps was dabbing a little gold mica powder on several areas, just to add a little extra color and shine.

Here are four photos that show the dimension more:
