celebrate life {BOBUNNY}

hello scrappy friends!

i've got another BOBUNNY project to share with you today. i created this one for BOBUNNY social media. it features their wonderful FELICITY collection and PENTART contour liners - 

"CELEBRATE LIFE"

PATTERN PAPER: felicity, always, lattice, parasols, serendipity / FELICITY
6x6 paper pad: FELICITY
combo sticker: FELICITY
layered chipboard: FELICITY
noteworthy: FELICITY
glitter paste: SILVER, SUGAR
stickable stencil: LOTS of LOVE
lasercut chipboard: CELEBRATE
double dot jewels: MOCCA, AQUA
TOOLS: palette knife assortment pack

CONTOUR LINERS: white, silver

and here are some CLOSE UPS and TRICKS & TIP on how i did it: 

use STICKABLE STENCIL and GLITTER PASTE to create the dimensional layer on your background paper.

use PENTART white contour liner to enhance some of the hearts on your background.

use a combination of stickers and fussy cut elements to decorate your layout.

TIP! add glitter paste to your flowers to give them a fancy frosted look.

for my title i used a chipboard word, which i heat embossed with silver embossing powder and i wrote the word "LIFE" using two different colours of PENTART contour liners.

THANK YOU for stopping by today!

have a lovely week!

hugs 'n smiles,

WINTER JOY {BOBUNNY & PENTART}

hello scrappy friends!

today i'm up on BOBUNNY's blog with a brand new project featuring BOBUNNY's WINTER WISHES collection and PENTART glass paint - 

"WINTER JOY"

PATTERN PAPER: beautiful, frosted, icicles, snowfall, wonderland / WINTER WISHES
6x6 paper pad: WINTER WISHES
combo sticker: WINTER WISHES
noteworthy: WINTER WISHES
glitter paste: SILVER
stickable stencil: WINTER FUN
double dot jewels: THINK PINK
TOOLS: palette knife assortment pack

GLASS PAINT - blue, carmine
alcohol based solvent

and here are some CLOSE UPS and TRICKS & TIP on how i did it: 

use STICKABLE STENCIL and GLITTER PASTE to create the dimensional layer on your background paper. i love how the paste works seamlessly with these stencils!

use small phrases from the STICKER SHEET to decorate your picture.

TIP! die cut winter {or any type you like} images from acetate sheet {you can use old packaging as well!} to be able to give them any colour you like!

use PENTART glass paint to colour your die cuts. i added first a layer of BLUE paint and when it was dry i added a second layer of CARMIN paint on top. that is how it looks somewhat marbled and multicolored.

i hope i managed to inspire you today!

have FUN creating!
