"Stay Strong",a Giveaway for Reneabouquets Beautiful Board 2 Year Anniversary

Hi everyone!

Reneabouquets Beautiful Board Is turning 2 this month!! And if you've happened to read up on some of the info in a Beautiful Board listing in Renea's Store, you'd see it goes a little something like this...

"What makes it sooooo beautiful? Beautiful Board, or B Board for short, was created with both Artists and their environment in mind. Each design was drawn from scratch with details that true artists crave in their products. B Board is manufactured in house in the Reneabouquets studio, using 100% virgin pulp that gives it over twice as many fibers as regular chipboard for amazing durability, and because it is virgin pulp, not recycled pulp there are no chemicals, or additives that the artist or their environment can be exposed to."

Your chance to win this is waiting for you on the 

Artist's With An Edge
group page on facebook, share the giveaway announcement post and let us know what your favorite Beautiful Board is!! I'll draw a winner on Wednesday, September 18th. This is only for the U.S.A.please. If the winner doesn't contact me within 3 days, I'll pick another.

To make this page I stenciled texture paste onto watercolor paper, and painted it with Shimmerz Paints.

I painted on gesso, Shimmerz Paints,Prima Alchemy Paint, and Clear Rock Candy Crackle onto the BBoard. I added the flowers, and all the rest of embellishments. The lattice work only has paint on it, and the flourishes have crackle with gold paint on top, then more crackle on that.

To add visual interest I added micro beads, glass glitter,metal glitter,seed beads, pearls, glass beads,Swarovski crystals,rhinestones,pressed flowers and leaves, strands of gauze,small pieces of black tulle,gold lace, and iridescent wrapping paper, pink tulle trim,gold leaf,shells,metal from Reneabouquets,Tim Holtz, flowers from Reneabouquets and Prima, and bling and metal from my stash. I spread Glossy Accents on for the microbeads,glitter and seed beads,and sprinkled them on.

I used white, gold and black Amsterdam ink to outline things, and splashed on the white all over. You can see gold mica powder on almost everything on the page, and I rubbed on a little Green Brocade and White Gold Prima Wax to raised areas.

To the right of the photo I painted over microbeads and glitter. I

Remember To Play

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new page for the amazing Reneabouquets! I've used a photo of my daughter in law Aron at the bottom left, and a mermaid image on the right.

Reneabouquets & Crafty City is doing a fun Collaboration Called Paradise In August! So grab your FAV Paradise Treasure Box, and join both the Reneabouquets & Crafty City Design Teams as we team up to inspire you for the month of August!!

I've used Paradise Treasure Box #2

To make this page I took Mintay Paradise paper and put texture paste on with a bubbles stencil. I ripped off the top layer of corrugated cardboard, painted them with gesso, and while wet, sprinkled on Ultra Thick Embossing Powder. I heated it til just melted, then added the images. I used cardboard in between the layers to add dimension. I painted the Beautiful Board seahorse with Prima Sparks Butterfly Spell, and topped it with a thick layer of Ranger Clear Rock Candy Crackle Paint. I painted the BBoard  Ocean Bubbles Texture Panel with Prima Magic Pond Sparks Acrylic Paint, and topped it with a thick layer of Crackle.

To add visual interest I added micro beads,glass glitter,sequins, pearls, shells, pressed flowers and leaves, lichen, cheesecloth, and pink tulle. 

All the white on the page is Amsterdam ink, except in the center area, where I used white gesso.

I rubbed on white gold Prima wax and gold mica powder on a lot of the raised surfaces. This was to highlight and kind of tie everything together.

I used different colors of Shimmerz Paints over the Sand Chunky Glitter Glass. I rubbed on silver mica powder over a lot of the page.

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

Hey Crafty Friends Phyllis here to share my Mixed Media Tag I created for a swap!

I always love using microbeads and seedbeads to my projects for texture!

 I applied Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Crackle Paint~Rock Candy to the chipboard pieces and then sprayed them with ink.

 I heat embossed Prima's stamp and then applied some ink to the butterfly wings then added some gold acrylic paint to the hair.  

I hope I've inspired you to create something beautiful today!

Shabby Vintage Layout using Prima's Rossibelle

Hey Crafty Friends Phyllis here with another scrapbook layout page for my DT project!  When I started this project I had no idea or no plan but I think that's how all my projects are!

This layout is full of yummy texture!

 I started with prepping my paper with Acrylic Gesso then used my brick stencil spreading Prima's White sand texture paste that I mixed some spray inks into the paste.  Then I added Tim Holtz Distress Crackle~Rock Candy randomly around the brick.

 I also added some embossing powder where it looks black on the bricks.

 I grabbed all my embellishments from Prima's Rossibelle collection and started creating my design.

 I love using Prima's Vintage Metal Clocks on my layouts they add awesome texture!

  I wasn't too sure about ReneaBouquets Tiny Treasure Sweet Nothing's Butterflies because it was pink but I think they were perfect!

I also LOVE using ReneaBouquets Chunky Shard Glitter Glass~Coral and ReneaBouquets Glass MicroBeads~Gold they both add texture and interest to any project!

 I use alot of microbeads on my layouts,  so YUMMY!

 Here is a close up of the Crackle!

 Here I used embossing powder like crazy and then spritz it with some ink and added some Gold paint to accent the detail on the Prima Shabby Chic Treasures Resin Baroque frame.  I really love how it turned out!

I hope you are inspired to make some beautiful today!
