"Beautiful Moments" Altered Butterfly

Beautiful Moments Altered Butterfly

The base of this project was a wooden butterfly that I covered with patterned paper and some Doily Lace 2-1/4" wide in white and outlined with bling.  The center of the butterfly features a Beautiful Box Small Round Shaker Box DIY Kit Laser Cut Chipboard piece which is filled with some Beautiful Beads Designer Glass Moonstone and some small blue beads.  A Beautiful Board Small Victorian Scroll Frame tops to shaker box along with a White Pearl And Rhinestone Button and some Beautiful Beads Candy Choose Color Flatback Pearls in Light Blue.  On the top left i added a spray of mulberry flowers topped with a Tiny Treasures Sweet Dreams Cornflower Blue Premium Paper Butterfly.  The flowers were dusted with some Gawdie Girl German Glitter Glass.  A White Rabbit in Wonderland Silver Pocket Watch was added on the left side.  On the right side wording was added.  Some Reneabouquets Trim - Drop Leaf Lace was added to the bottom of the butterfly along with some butterfly charms.  The star of the piece is the Printed Beautiful Board Small White Rabbit Laser Cut Chipboard.

For The Reneabouquets Design Team, Come To The Woods, For Here Is Rest

 

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

                                                                    Photo credit: Pexels

To make this page,I brushed on clear gesso onto 49 and Market Paper, I put Prima Platinum crackle paste on with a stencil and a small spatula.

 I taped on a layer of watercolor paper underneath the image to help it to lie flat. I added a layer of corrugated cardboard and a watercolor paper mat. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard,ripped some of the paper off, and brushed on white gesso. 

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 copper mica powder in different areas.

To add visual interest I added micro beads,seed beads, glass glitter,glitter glue, crystals,glass beads,tulle, metal and bling both from Reneabouquets, and 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!

"Life Is A Journey" Altered Captain's Wheel

"Life Is A Journey" Altered Captain's Wheel

The base of this project is an 8" Captain's Wheel made of wood that I ordered from Etsy to make a door decoration for a friend who  loves to go cruising.  I didn't know decorating your door was "a thing" but once I found out I knew I needed to make something fun for her birthday.  The paper collection "Old Marina" from Scrapboys was perfect for this project.

I first painted the wheel in a dark brown and covered it with crackle.  When it didn't crackle I decided it was too dark so I covered it with some cream paint.  It then crackled and some of the dark paint showed through and it ended up working just fine!  Around the main part of the wheel I placed a Beautiful Board Chain Link Frame that I painted blue and added a row of small pearls on the inside.  I fussy cut the images and placed them inside the frame and added floral, shell, and clock die cuts.  Mulberry flower sprays in tan, blue and white were added to the top and bottom of the wheel and dusted with some Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass.  At the bottom of the wheel some Reneabouquets Trim - Drop Leaf Lace was added.  At the top spray a seahorse peaks out from the flowers.  Two butterflies were added to the frame piece.  The spokes of the wheel were covered with Beautiful Beads Candy Flatback Pearls in white.  To finish it off I added the words "Life Is A Journey" to tie in with the theme of the project.  This project will make its first journey this summer!

Decorative Easter Egg Home Decor by Design Team Member Diane McClosky

EASTER EGG HOME DECOR

Spring has finally graced us with its presence!  Each year, I find myself entranced by the stunning burst of colors that come with the season:  the brilliant yellow daffodils, the fiery red tulips, and the delicate blossoms of flowering trees.  

Easter is just around the corner, and to celebrate, I've decided to channel my creativity into making some handcrafted home décor that will bring a touch of holiday cheer into my home.

For my project, I ventured to Hobby Lobby and selected wooden egg shapes.  I chose to adorn the first egg with a beautiful patterned paper from the Flower Market Collection by Ciao Bella, while the second egg was graced with a stunning design from 49 and Market.

Before jumping into the layering process, I heat embossed the egg chipboard in white on the first egg.  For the second egg, however, I opted to keep the chipboard in it's natural state.  The versatility of Reneabouquets chipboard is one of the aspects I love - it can shine on its own or be transformed through heat embossing or painting, allowing for endless possibilities in personal style.  

For the next step, I positioned the chipboard eggs as my initial layer.  As I continued, I added cutouts from the paper collection, enhancing the visual narrative of each egg.  The first egg prominently features the adorable Evie as the centerpiece, embodying the joyous spirit of spring.  In contrast, the second egg celebrates the playful innocence of tiny baby chicks, filling it with warmth and charm.

As I arranged these elements, I added an assortment of flowers in various sizes and colors, each adding its own flair to the composition.  To further elevate the decor's beauty, I sprinkled in an array of embellishments—pearl microbeads, seed beads, crystal-clear beads, and a touch of glitter glass—each adding an enchanting shimmer and subtle depth to the pieces.  On the second egg, I decided to add a colorful ribbon to finish the piece.

I hope I have inspired you to create your own works of art with the beautiful products of Reneabouquets!

Wishing everyone a very happy Easter!  May your spring be filled with color, creativity, and joy!

Until next time..."Let your art take you where your heart wants to be."

"Love" Heart Wall Hanging

“Love” Heart Wall Hanging

This is an 11" wooden heart base that I purchased from Walmart.  I covered it with two different papers from Mintay's "Always and Forever" collection.  On top of that I added some White Wide Floral Embroidered Lace across the middle of the heart and edged it with some pearls.  A resin heart frame was added to the middle of the heart.  In the center I added a Printed Beautiful Board Small Vintage Cherub Laser Cut Chipboard, and on the sides of the heart are two Tiny Treasures Sweetheart Soft Yellow Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies.  Sprays of Reneabouquets mulberry roses in yellow, pink and white were added to each side of the heart along with some Large Beautiful Board Quilling Pattern Laser Cut Chipboard.  A silver Dream metal key was added to the left of the heart and Beautiful Words 4 Mixed Sizes Love Laser Cut Chipboard was added to the right side.  At the bottom of the large heart I added some Reneabouquets Trim - Drop Leaf Lace along with some pearls, lace and ribbon.  In the top left I added a ribbon and lace bow that was topped with a Soft Pink Pearl And Rhinestone Button.  The large heart was outlined with some pearls, the sides were covered with some white trim, and some ruffle lace was added all around the heart.  A ribbon and lace hanger was added at the top.  This was a gift for a friend in my card group who is getting married at 79 in May!  She will display it along with some other homemade cards and gifts from the ladies in our card group.
