For The Reneabouquets Design Team, At Christmas, All Roads Lead Home

 

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

I made Christmas ornaments with the Printed Beautiful Board. They have the same image on both sides, with gold thread glued in the middle. They're lightly glued on the page. I'll pull them off and put them on the tree.

To make this page, I put Prima Platinum crackle paste on watercolor paper with a stencil and a small spatula.

 I taped on a layer of watercolor paper underneath the photo to help it to lie flat. I added a layer of corrugated cardboard and a watercolor paper mat.  I added another layer of cardboard and a bottom                                                                            layer of corrugated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
I arranged the Beautiful Board,and other items around the page. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints, and glued on more beads,using Glossy Accents. Anytime I glued items on I sprinkled on Gawdie Girl Diamond Shard German Glitter Glass on top of the glue. I rubbed on gold, and pearl mica powder in different areas.
                                       





To add visual interest I added micro beads,seed beads, glass glitter, crystals,glass beads,tulle,Graphic 45 fussy cut images,Reneabouquets metal items,and bling from my stash.I used glossy accents and double sided foam tape to adhere items to the page.















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

"Bells are Ringing Christmas Ornament" by Design Team Artist Diane McClosky


"Bells are Ringing Christmas Ornament"

The lyrics from the song "Bells Are Ringing" is where my inspiration came from for the first project of the month.  
I have always loved to hear church bells ringing especially at Christmas. 

The base of the ornament is Bells Crafty Shapes by Stamperia which I covered in paper from 49 and Market Christmas Spectacular Collection.  I added red, white and green seadbeads under acetate to create the shaker portion.  

In the bottom right hand corner, I created a cluster using Reneabouquets small Old Fashioned Santa Chipboard as the main image.  It is surrounded by laser cut pieces from Christmas Spectacular as well as First Snow Snowflakes that have been embossed in white.  I continued to layer with mini white roses covered in Pearl Microbeads and Diamond Fine Glitter Glass for added sparkle.

I did a flower cluster in the top left hand corner using laser cut pieces as the base and then placed the mini red roses on top that have also been sprinkled with Pearl Microbeads and Diamond Glitter Glass.  I used the small Beautiful Board Holly Flourish Chipboard which I cut apart for the holly leaves.  A red bow with a small gold jingle bell was tucked underneath with some Black Tear Drop Lace.  

To finish the piece, clear beads were added to the flowers as well as peppermint candy flatbacks and a touch of snow.

"What A Wonderful Thought That Some Of The Best Days Are Yet To Come"

“What A Wonderful Thought That

Some Of The Best Days Are Yet To Come”













This is a trifold folio I made for a woman who was retiring from the library here in Prescott.  I purchased some autumn library themed clip art on Etsy that was perfect for this project.  On the front I used some Beautiful Board Small Gothic Gate Laser Cut Chipboard pieces to frame the library building.  A girl is sitting on a pile of books reading by the gate with a Beautiful Board Hummingbird Itty Bitty sitting on the gate.  The other gate has pumpkins and a fall spray of mulberry flowers is in the top left corner with some Printed Beautiful Board Hello Autumn Corners Chipboard and the spray is topped with a Watercolor Rustic Autumn Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterfly.  Reneabouquets Trim - Daisy Chain Lace - is on the binding of the folio.

The inside pocket is decorated with more of the Hello Autumn Corners Chipboard and some Butterfly Kisses Delicate Beauty Single Sided Printed Butterflies.

The tags for the inside pocket were decorated with Printed Beautiful Board Hello Autumn Tuck It In Chipboard pieces.

"Lost In The Darkness" Vignette

“Lost In The Darkness” Vignette






The base of this project is a Tim Holtz vignette box which is covered inside and out with Halloween paper.  The front piece is a Tim Holtz arched window that fit perfectly over the front of the box.  Inside the box are two metal candlesticks with  purple beads, Reneabouquets Printed Beautiful Board Halloween Cat - Twilight Chipboard, a metal key, a bottle with some Plum Shard German Glitter Glass and a spooky sticker.  In the front of the window is a metal gate with some roses and a butterfly.


On the outside of the window Printed Beautiful Board Large Tessie B Darling Set sprinkled with Gawdie Girl German Glitter Glass watches over the Printed Beautiful Board Halloween Cauldron Chipboard which was rubbed with Fine Black Magic German Glitter Glass and an acetate flame rubbed with some Fine Red German Glitter Glass.  A scary ghost is flying from the pot.  


A cluster of mulberry flowers is at the top of the window with a Tiny Treasures Tranquil Glitter Glass Premium Paper Butterfly topping the cluster.  A Tim Holtz sign "Lost In The Darkness" sits at the top of the box with some goblets on either side.


The top of the box has two metal embellishments as well as a knob - both from Tim Holtz.


And finally, some wooden feet were added to the bottom of the box.
