Queen Bee Handbag and Sketchbook DT project for Reneabouquets

Hi crafty friends,

For this month I want to share with you another fun project I made using Items from Reneabouquets and Tonic Studios dies.

I wanted to make something ultra lush, as I would be working with the Glass Wing Queen Bees from Reneabouquets. As we all know, there is only one queen in the hive, and for this queen, a beautiful handbag and sketchbook are essential!

Here is the couple with the hexagon shaped handbag covered in a beautiful handmade flower bouquet. Each handmade flower is delicately sprinkled with Gawdie Girl Pink Chunky German Glitter Glass. Grouped along the top of the handbag are also Beautiful Board Hexagon Elements Laser Cut Chipboard pieces that are embossed in gold, and scattered with Moonstone beads. I also added layers of embossed vellum resembling honeycombs, and hand-colored roses made with a Tonic Studios stamp and alcohol markers. Underneath is a piece of Ivory Wide Floral Embroidered Lace.This will surely provide a safe landing for any queen bee!

Along the side of the handbag, I wanted to ensure to add a handle, so I crafted one out of gold cord, and attached it to the bag with Tonic Studios die cuts that I layered with gold and black cardstock. Small black sequins top off the faux clasps. The base is also dry embossed in a honeycomb pattern, and topped with cascading hearts created with Nuvo expanding mousse and Finnabair golden nugget effect paste. The entire thing is also sprayed in gold.

Here you can see the queen bee front and center. She tops a piece of Beautiful Board Large Stackable Honey Bee Pattern that has been altered with Finnabair golden nugget effect paste,and sprinkled with pale pink microbeads. It all rests on the hexagon embossed front of the handbag.

Take a closer look at the detail in the Glass Wing Queen Bee. They are so amazing!

Now, lets look at the sketchbook! It fits comfortably inside of the handbag, but it is also made to fit the theme very nicely. On the cover, you see another grouping, only this time I used the Beautiful Board Medium Honey Bee Chipboard. To make it cohesive, I also colored it using my Nuvo alcohol markers and Nuvo Gold marker. The decorative pieces are also sprinkled with Gawdie girl pink glitter and moonstones, and they all rest on a bed of honeycomb chipboard pieces topped with vellum honeycombs, and lovely red roses. The phrase "Inspire",and the Notebook pages are all cut using Tonic Studios dies. 

On this page, I recycled a piece of clear packaging and created a page by embossing it in a honeycomb pattern. Using a lovely stamped phrase shared by a friend, I adorned the page by framing it out with more vellum embossed pieces as well as the hand-colored roses and yet another gorgeous GlassWinged Queen Bee. In the background you can see the pages, They alternate between sketch papers and mixed media papers for a fun sketchbook.

Never forgetting the words that inspire me to create... I incorporated some scripture verses on key pages in this sketchbook. Here, I adorned the page with a piece of Beautiful Board Large Stackable Honey Bee Pattern, only this time I cut it in half to fit my page, added black embossing powder to make it shine, and sprinkled it with small moonstones. 

On this page I did the same, only here I embossed the honeycomb pattern beautiful board in gold, added moonstones and gems from my stash, and added a beautiful Proverb. 

For the last page, I decided to add a pocket. I dry embossed and stenciled the paper, then added photo corners as a decorative element. To finish, it, I added a piece of applique given to me by a sweet crafter, and altered it using gawdie girl pink glitter, pearls and gems from my stash, and a beautiful 

Reneabouquets Queen Bee Clock Charms . 

This concludes my project share, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have! Please visit the links for your convenience, and don't forget to watch the video for more details. 

Thank you for stopping by, and as always, I hope that you can Be inspired, Be Blessed!

Birthday Giveaway "Vintage Bee-uty" Mixed Media Canvas by Toni

Happy Thursday everyone, this month we're filled with celebration over at Reneabouquets because our Beautiful Board turns "2 years old". If you have never seen beautiful board then you are really missing out. Let me give you a quick little history of it.

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, 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.  

All Beautiful Board Designs are a Reneabouquets Original Design which means:
The product is designed, drawn and brought to life by Renea Harrison. Original art work, not someone else's clipart. Nor will it ever be, a product created in another country that Renea puts her name on and then pretends that it is hers like some large companies do.

For my canvas I decided I wanted to create using BB brand "NEW" Beautiful Box Mini Round Shadow Box Laser Cut Chipboard.

These sweet shadow boxes are the perfect way to create a little diorama or scene type project. Assembly is so very easy and the ideas that went through my head while playing with these is endless. I can already see many of this boxes hanging on my Christmas tree this holiday season. 

And well, what can I say about the gorgeous Beautiful Board Large Stackable Honey Bee Pattern. I added some of Reneabouquets microbeads to the bees for pretty texture and bling (of course). Creating with Beautiful Board brings your creativity to another level and is so much fun to create with. But the store also is filled with laces, flowers, & glitters, so many beautiful items that Renea herself has lovingly chose to provide for your project needs. 

In honor of BB's 2nd Birthday I am offering this canvas as well as a box of other fun goodies for a GIVEAWAY ! You actually have two ways you can win. Either go to our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/groups/ArtistsWithAnEdge/ and locate the post regarding this canvas Share the post with your friends, then comment on what your favorite BB product ... for a 2nd chance of winning you can go to my Youtube channel  here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4cVzgBg0nA&t=559s and leave a comment and Subscribe to my channel and I will be drawing someone's name on 9/15.
