Game On! and Pentart Rust Effects with Denise

Hello Everyone

It's Denise here today to share a mixed media, technique rich layout, using BoBunny Game On and Pentart Rust Products.

I started off by sticking down the chipboard pieces and then adding some white gesso, through a stickable stencil.

I then watered down some all purpose ink and added this, along with spritzed water, all over the stenciled gesso.

Next I took transparent gel medium and added it with a paint brush to the page, in the areas I wanted the rust effects.  I then sprinkled the rust effect powder, over the gel medium. I turned the page over and removed the excess powder. 

I then added the rust reagents to get the "rusting" going. I used little drops of all the colours.

I let this all dry and allowed the rust reagents to develop.

Lastly I added the photo and the various layers of cog die-cuts and cog stamping.

The rust effect turned out brilliantly and was so much fun to play and experiment with.

The rust effects were so perfect for this grungy boy page.

Thanks ever so much for stopping by the BoBunny blog today. We really hope that you will play with the Pentart Rust products.  They really are fabulous.

Have a fabulous day!

Life in Color and Pentart Metallic Wax Paste with Irene

Hello Everyone! It's Irene here and my assignment for today is to create a layout with 3 different looks using BoBunny's Life In Color collection with Pentart Metallic Wax Paste. Here is a collage of my layout in 3 versions.

Now, let's take a look at my first layout. It's a clean and simple layout which only involves some cutting and pasting onto the layout. I've cut out several images from the pattern papers and use them to layer on the layout.

Moving on to the second layout. This time, I've raised the difficulty a bit by adding some mixed media techniques on it. I've done some stamping, misting, inking and stenciling on it.

Finally, here is the third layout. This time, I've cut out more intricate images from the pattern papers to add to the layout. I've also added several different elements such as die-cuts and flowers to it. I've cut out some keys and key holes using the Royal dies by BoBunny. The die-cuts and flowers are painted with some Pentart metallic wax paste to create the shiny look on it. To give more dimension to this layout, I've added some brads and BoBunny transparent gel (extra shine!) to some of the embellishments.

Below are some close-ups on this layout.

Hope you all like today's layouts and see you all soon!

Transparent Gel On A Fun & Lovely Layout!

Good Morning! How is everyone's day going? Today I'm going to share a little tutorial using the new BoBunny Transparent Gel. What an amazing product! So I will chat as I go.. Are you ready?

Best Friends Layout by Lynn Shokoples

 I chose the Beautiful Dreamer Collection to work with on this layout. Since I laid eyes on the 12x12 Bicycle Patterned Paper I knew I just had to do a layout with it. The collection also has decoupage paper, so I had an idea I wanted to try. It was my first time working with the Transparent Gel, and let me tell you... I think it's the best adhesive I have ever used! And.. it's just not for gluing as you will see later in the tutorial.

Decoupage Paper, Buttons,Transparent Gel and the 6x6 paper pad were the first supplies I grabbed!

I cut strips from the Decoupage Paper and just rolled them into a ball with my fingers. Next I cut a circle with my punch from one of the sheets from the 6x6 paper pad. I covered the circle with the Transparent Gel and then just laid the Decoupage Paper over it in a circle, going round and round adding little bits of the gel.

 When I was done I used the Transparent Gel to glue down the buttons on the shabby flowers I had made. Once they were dried, which didn't take long at all.. those buttons were not coming off!! I just had to give them a good tug to test my theory!

Making the shabby flowers were fun, but what else could I do? I cut another strip from the Decoupage Paper, scrunched it again and used it as a border behind the Journal Contents Cards I had chosen to use. You need such a small amount of the gel, a little goes a long way.

 It gave a nice ruffled effect that was just peeking out as an added layer... and OH.. it coordinated with the shabby flower too.

 Just another peek at the flower and the ruffle.

The two extra flowers I made I used on the bicycle wheels as a little extra something. It gave the bottom of the layout added dimension.

Now everything is adhered to the layout! Wait... there is something else you can do with the Transparent Gel... if you paint it on top of something, it gives added dimension and a bit of shine!! The basket of flowers on the bicycle was the perfect element to try it on.

 See the shine?? It's such a pretty look! You can use it to accent your patterned paper, die cuts, embellishments.. the possibilities are endless! I can't wait for my next project to see what else I can do with it.

With a little stamping with the Dreamer and Rough It Up Stamps and some Emerald Double Dot Ink, my layout was done! Thank you so much for joining me today.. I hope the rest of your day is awesome! Until next time....
