Two Cards,One With a Shaker Box

Here are two new cards for Reneabouquets, I love using the amazing products I find there!

To make this card I first put the layers under the Steampunk Debutante image together: I taped on cardstock to the image to make it stronger, underneath is watercolor paper, at the bottom is corrugated cardboard. I tore off most of the paper from the corrugated, and painted it with gesso. I put layers of foam core board between everything, to add dimension.

I marked off where I wanted the layers to go, then sponged on gesso on Prima Paper, an A4 piece of Timeless Memories. I glued on lace, then applied texture paste with a stencil.

I used different media to get the colors I wanted: Shimmerz Paints, Art Alchemy Sparks, gold mica powder, Derwent Inktense Watercolor pencil in Bark, and black gesso.

To add visual interest I added a micro beads, glass glitter, mica flakes,glass beads, tiny pieces of black tulle, gold lace, a few strands of gauze, a butterfly,a flower from my stash, and a 7 Gypsies pin with silk ribbon.

To make this card I assembled the shaker box, painted it with Prima Dragon's Eye Sparks Paint, then painted the frame. I use gold mica powder and water for the shells, and Shimmerz paints for the rest. I dribbled on Clear Rock Candy Crackle with a paint brush. I glued the frame onto the box. I marked off the page where I wanted it to sit, and sponged gesso on the paper. I attached the box to the page with double sided foam tape.

I used the same items on this card as the other one, with the addition of pressed flowers, lichen, swarovski crystals, and a pearl necklace with some chain from my stash. The brass moon on the shaker box is from Vintaj. Inside the shaker box I put sequins, glass glitter, glass beads, pearls, shells, mica flakes,rhinestones, Swarovski bicone crystals, seed beads, green plastic crystals,and micro beads.

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

Out of Limitations Comes Creativity

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a design team page for Reneabouquets! I've used a google free photo by A.M. Lorek.

It's always a pleasure to use such high quality, beautiful products from Reneabouquets!

To make this page I applied clear gesso to Lavender Frost paper. I applied texture paste with a stencil, then put the layers under the photo together. I took corrugated cardboard, ripped off some of the surface paper off, and painted it with gesso. On top of the cardboard I added watercolor paper, foam core board,and a layer of cardstock directly attached to it with double sided tape. I find this helps with warping, I get a lot of glare from the shiny photo paper that makes it hard to take photos, The flatter the photo lies,the less glare there is.

I picked out Beautiful Board (B Board),prepped with gesso, painted with Shimmerz Paints, and topped it with Clear Rock Candy Crackle.

To add visual interest I added microbeads, glass glitter, mica flakes, seed beads, pearls, rhinestones, shells, pressed flowers and leaves, lichen, Prima flowers, metal from Reneabouquets, Tim Holtz, chain, tulle,and tiny pieces of lace. Most of the paint is Shimmerz, but I also used Finnabair Sparks,Waxes, and Tattered Angels. I dabbed on gold and purple mica powder on a lot of raised areas, for highlights. I wanted to show the dimension with the above photo. There's a total of 5 layers of foam core board.

I pretty much coated the background paper with gesso, because things just got too busy.

A lot of the raised areas of the chipboard and cardboard have gesso on them. I kept adding and changing colors to get something I wanted.I added a little Prima stamping at the end,and also rubbed on some Green Brocade Prima wax in a few areas.

There's a lot of texture with all the micro beads and glitter.

To help tie things together, I brush a little gesso on almost everything, then add more paint, or mica powder.

I tucked in some pale aqua tulle at the sides and top of the layers. I glued a Butterfly Kiss on the left there. The key has gesso, paint, and mica powders on it. I glued rhinestones in the indentations at the top of the key itself,and tied on some white silk ribbon. Right by the key is a Tim Holtz charm with Art Alchemy Paper, topped with Dimensional Magic.

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

What a Wonderful World

Hi everyone! Here's a design team page for Reneabouquets!I've used a photo from the recent wedding of my son and his wife. I was inspired by the happiness of the occasion.

To make this page I mounted the photo on layers of watercolor paper and foam core board. I took Beautiful Board April In Paris Floral Medallion Set Laser Cut Chipboard (BB),and used the largest one. I cut it in half and used half at each end. I painted it and the watercolor paper with Art Alchemy Steampunk Copper Acrylic Paint by Prima. I poured on a thick layer of Rock Candy Crackle Paint on the BB.Using Blue Fern paper, I applied texture paste with a stencil and a credit card,and painted the paste with the copper paint.

I put the BB on with double sided foam tape, and painted underneath it with black gesso. I poured diamond chunky glitter glass on the gesso.I outlined the BB with a Derwent Inktense Watercolor Pencil, in Bark.

I painted in between the raised areas of texture paste with Shimmerz Inkling in Penny 4 Your Thoughts, and Greener Pastures. I painted the raised areas in some cases with Sparks Art Alchemy paint in Unicorn Hair.

To add visual interest I added microbeads, glass beads, pearls, glass glitter, diamond shard glitter glass, gold mica flakes, birch bark, lichen, pressed flowers, tulle, metal pieces, rhinestones, Swarovski crystals, and a glass vial.The burgundy ribbon is from one of the boutonnieres the groomsmen wore. You can see some strands of cheesecloth on the page, I dyed some green with Distress Ink and Shimmerz Paint.

Here's a list of the items used from Renebouquets:

Adventure Awaits

Hi everyone, here's a design team page for Reneabouquet! I have used a wedding photo from my son and daughter in law's recent heartfelt, amazing, and beautiful wedding. I was inspired by the photo, the emotions of the event, and the colors of the fall season. I used Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante,available at Reneabouquets.

To make this page I mounted the photo onto watercolor paper,corrugated cardboard, and layers of foam core board. I picked out Beautiful Board(BB) to use, and cut out a few images from the G 45 papers. I painted all the BB and cardboard with gesso, to give the surface some "tooth", so the paint has something to grip onto. I painted all the surfaces with paint by Shimmerz, then topped them with Ranger Clear Rock Candy Crackle.

I glued the Beautiful Board down with Glossy Accents, and started adding embellishments.

To add visual interest I added a number of things: Beautiful Beads Pearls, glass beads, micro beads,seed beads, glass glitter,distress glitter, metal pieces, shells, pressed flowers, bark, lichen, artificial foliage parts,tulle, rhinestones,and mica flakes.

I added a little gesso to almost everything, to give a white surface to add more paint on. I brushed on layers of paint, mica powder, and Prima Wax where I put the gesso, and onto the BB.

There are about four different colors of Shimmerz Paints on the watercolor paper, and I added some glass glitter, and more Prima gold wax, at the bottom.

Here's a list of products I used:

Beautiful Board Pretty Fall Pumpkin Laser Cut Chipboard

Beautiful Board Fancy Fall Tuck Ins Set Of 23 Laser Cut Chipboard

Woman With Crown

Hi everyone! Melissa here, with a design team page for Reneabouquet!I was inspired by the photo to use things that reflected the ornate crown the woman is wearing.The Beautiful Board (BB) is Art Nouveau inspired, I love all the detail of it. The Blue Fern paper has a pattern that is similar to the BB.

To make this page I applied texture paste using a 13 Arts stencil. I put layers of foam core board, cardstock, and watercolor paper between the photo and the bg paper.

I painted cheesecloth with Shimmerz and Art Alchemy Paints. I painted the BB with gesso, Art Alchemy Sparks,Dragon Eye, followed by a layer of Rock Candy Crackle.

I cut the frame to fit around the photo.

To add visual interest, I added a lot of items: Prima flowers, metal, old jewelry, pressed leaves, feathers, lichen , moss, leaves, glass beads,micro beads, seed beads, pearls, glass glitter, lace,tulle, a little stamping, and rhinestones. I fussy cut a few things from Graphic 45's Fairy Frost collection.

I used a few other Prima Sparks colors on the BB frame, Unicorn's Hair,Mermaid Sparkle,Butterfly Spells, and Shimmerz Paint in Teal the End of Time.

I think the glass fairy orb is amazing!

I wanted to limit the amount of colors I used on the page, because the frame is ornate, and the photo has a lot of detail.

I put a little gesso on each flower, and painted over it with a mix of diamond shards and Unicorn Hair Prima Sparks paint.

The BB snowflakes were sheer pleasure just to look at. I painted them with gesso, Shimmerz, and DecoArt Metallic Luster Wax, in Silver Spark. I applied a layer of Rock Candy Crackle, and dabbed a little blue watercolor on to help define the cracks.

I took a black watercolor crayon, held it sideways, and kind of shaded the raised edges of the frame and other items, to add depth and definition.

Here is a list of Reneabouquets items I used:

Beautiful Board Medium Medallion Laser Cut Chipboard Frame

Beautiful Board Medium Shabby Snowflakes One Set Of 4 Laser Cut Chipboard

Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits - Marquis and Diamond Cut Laser Cut Chipboard

Fairy Orb Trinkets Set Of 6 Glass Fairy Orbs In White
