"Bon Appetit" Mixed Media Layout by Toni

 Hi everyone and hope you are all having a wonderful month. Today I have a layout I created with layers, dimension, textures and lots of Reneabouquets items. Let's get started. 

The paper collection I used is Mintay "Homemade" and I did some fussy cutting of some of the images to place on dimensional foam. Beautiful Words Medium Bon Appetit Laser Cut Chipboard was the perfect title for this layout. I colored it with some Distressed Inks and added a coat of Rock Candy Crackle Paint. Then applied some Art Alchemy Wax in White Pearl to bring forth the cracks from the paint. The hearts I used, Beautiful Board Victorian Heart Doilies Laser Cut Chipboard Set, I applied the same mediums to them as well. I cut heart shapes out of the cardstock to have a different color cardstock peeking through the beautiful board. Down towards the bottom I added one of RB trinkets which is the Silver Spoons Trinket Pack. In the very center of the layout I used Beautiful Board Medium Romantic Heart Pattern Laser Cut Chipboard. The sweet tiny butterflies used here are the Butterfly Kisses Delicate Beauty Single Side Printed Butterflies. The florals I used from RB store are the Itty Bitty Blossoms and Leaves Timeless Blue, Mini Dusty Blue & Ivory Mulberry Paper Roses, and the Antique Linen Roses. Tucked inside the florals are the Beautiful Board Bits Skeleton Leaf Laser Cut Chipboard and Beautiful Board Bits Rose Leaf Laser Cut Chipboard. And what would my layout be without adding a bit of sparkle to the layout with Gawdie Girl Diamond Fine German Glitter, which looks just like sugar on this layout. I hope you enjoyed and to watch my layering process I have provided you a video below. Wishing you a wonderful rest of the month of May. 

"Be Curious" Mixed Media Vintage Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, hope you all are staying safe and healthy. Today I have for you a layout filled with mixed media layers and textures. 

I first started by adding some machine stitching around the perimeter of the layout then I wanted to add some texture to the base of the layout utilizing some textured crackle paste through different stencils. I chose the Beautiful Board pieces I wanted to use and gave them all a coat of Rock Candy Crackle Paint.

 

The Beautiful Board pieces I chose were Beautiful board Large April In Paris Adornment Pattern,  Beautiful Board Deco Gears Set of 4 Laser Cut Chipboard,  Beautiful Board April In Paris Doily #2 Set of 3 (I used the largest doily).  I then decided to create a little book out of vintage stained papers which I took about 7 and sewed down the middle to create pages. Then ran it through a texture fade with the alphabet and distressed the pages with distress oxide ink.

For a pretty vintage feel I used Reneabouquets White Wide Floral Embroidered Lace.  The Butterfly I used on this layout is the Salted Caramel Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies.   

It was now time to add the flowers, The flowers I chose are Dark Brown Roses Mulberry Paper Flower Set, Soft Peach Roses And Leaves Mulberry Paper Flower Set, Mini Soft Peach Mulberry Paper Flower Set, Antique Linen Roses, Gardenia And Leaves Flower Set and Peach Roses And Leaves Mulberry Paper Flower Set. 

To compliment the layout I added some sparkle utilizing Reneabouquets Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. I hope you enjoyed this layout and now for your pleasure I have added a video of me creating this layout below. Hope you enjoy ..... blessings. 

Mixed Media "Bloom Where You Are Planted" Layout by Toni

Hi everyone, today I have a new layout to share with you with some pretty springtime goodies from Reneabouquets store. Let's get started. I first stitched around the perimeter of my background paper for interest then I wanted to highlight the pathway in the photograph therefore I tore the paper and used chocolate corrugated cardboard for the mat to bring your eye forward in the layout.  I then used Beautiful Board Grid Elements Laser Cut Chipboard on the sides of the photo to provide a garden trellis effect. It also adds some nice texture to your photo surrounding. Then I tucked the Beautiful Board Wild Flower Gears around the sides of the photo. Playing off the slight shade of peach in the photo I decided to use Soft Peach Roses and also one of my very favorite colors Antique Linen Roses. The Antique Linen is such a versatile color and goes with everything. The flowers come with some extra pretty mulberry leaves to use so I layered them with the Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits-Skeleton Leaf Chipboard. I then decided, what would a gardening layout be without the pretty Printed Beautiful Board Small Tuck It In Sweet Daisy Chipboard. I then added the Beautiful Board Small Feathers Set of 3 around the layout. To finish off the layout I added Queen Bee Clock Charm from the trinkets in the store and the gorgeous Secret Garden Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterflies. Of course I had to add a bit of bling to the layout so I went around the perimeter of the layout and sprinkled Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. This was a fun layout to create, fun colors to play with and I hope you enjoyed this. For your pleasure I do have a video tutorial below for your viewing. Wishing you a day filled with peace.

Hi everyone, hope you are having a nice February. Today I have a romantic layout with lots of pretty items from Reneabouquets store. 

Inspired by the soothing colors in my photo I kept all my embellishments soft and subtle.I started by doing some sewing on my machine around the perimeters of the background and also around the ephemera around the photo. That can provide a pretty shabby look to your layout.

The beautiful board used on the layout are  Follow Your Heart Doilies Chipboard, Beautiful Board Small Eiffel Tower Laser Cut Chipboard and Beautiful Board Large Butterfly Flourish Set Of 4 Laser Cut Chipboard,

In the Reneabouquets store you will find a plethora of different mulberry flowers that are hand designed by Renea herself and handmade here in the USA.

Christmas Recipe Mini Album In A Box By Toni

Merry Christmas everyone, it's one of my favorite times of year and this year is especially important because of all we have been through in 2020. It's a blessing to remember what this season is all about and that is LOVE... we love because HE loved us first. Every year I make certain specific cookies for Christmas that are a family favorite.  I thought it would be fun to create a little mini album to hold these memorable recipes and give it to my daughter so she will always have the recipes of the cookies that filled her tummy during this time of year.  The box to hold them is a Graphic 45 ATC Book Box and I decorated it with some festive Christmas cardstock. 

 On the outside of the box I used the Beautiful Board Small April In Paris Adornment Pattern and I embossed it with brass embossing powder. I then used Christmas Burgundy Mulberry Poinsettias, Roses & Holly Leaves Flower Set for that festive look. Some Christmas greenery and tiny brass bells from my stash. I also used the Graphic 45 claw feet to rest the box upon. 

To embellish the front of the mini album I created I used one of my favoite items from Reneabouquets store which is Small Square Shaker Box DIY Kit Laser Cut Chipboard. These are so much fun to create with and have endless possibilities on what you can do with them. Inside I filled it with Beautiful Board Large First Snow Snowflakes and a mixture of Gold Fine German Glitter Glass, No Hole Glass Microbeads in Silver, No Hole Glass Microbeads in Black, and mica flakes from my stash. 

I also hung a charm I created off the side of the album, and this included Reneabouquets Tea Time Trinkets which were painted with black gesso and then white gold Finnabair wax was rubbed on top to give it a brass finish. 

The inside of the mini album was created with pockets to hold your recipe cards and decorated with an assortment of Beautiful Board Special Edition Homemade Christmas Cookies which were painted and then sprinkled with fine clear glitter for a sugary look. A Metal Clip Bookmark With Cabochon from the store was clipped on to a page for some added fun. 

If you would like a better closeup of the entire project I have provided you a video below so you can see each and every Christmas goodie used from Reneabouquets store. Wishing you a magical Christmas season, filled with health, peace and joy. xoxo
