"Delight In The Everyday Moments" Mixed Media Layout for Reneabouquets

Hi everyone, hope you are having a wonderful month. Today's post is a mixed media layout filled with textures, dimension and layering. Let's get started. 
My layout is a 12x12 which began with just white cardstock and I did a lot of stamping using archival ink so it will not react with liquids. I then applied through a pretty flowered stencil some Paper Texture Paste and allowed it to dry. Once dry I then did some water coloring with Lindys "Grab A Guy Gold". Also splattered some black gesso here and there. On the left side of the layout you will see that I used Reneabouquets Garden Bouquet Lace-2" Wide White. It is tucked nicely under all the florals. In the right hand corner you will also see Printed Beautiful Board Large Sweet Garden Butterfly Fairy With Glass Wings Set and tucked under the florals is the Beautiful Board Spring Butterfly Laser Cut Chipboard Set of 3 which I painted white. 

Beautiful Board Small Feathers Set of 3 Laser Cut Chipboard as well as Beautiful Board Large Quilling Flourish Set of 4 Laser Cut Chipboard were painted white and added to the layout. For some fun texture I added some Art Stones and sprinkled Reneabouquets Hand Tinted Buttercream Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass. 


And new to the store are these sweet tiny butterflies in several colors, I used Butterfly Kisses Fairy Dust Gold Single Side Printed Butterflies and  also in Silver. Some of the butterflies I attached silver wire and have them hovering over the layout. In between the butterflies I applied some more bling to finish off the project with Gawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter Glass. I hope you were inspired and enjoyed this layout. xoxo Toni

I am adding this layout in the following challenges:

"Hello Sunshine" Altered Cutting Board for Reneabouquets Design Team

 Hi everyone, well summer is truly here !!!! Hope you are enjoying your time. Today I have a fun project that I have been wanting to do for quite some time. I love to change my decor out to different seasons and in June I changed my kitchen area to lemon yellow, black and white. I love the contrast. Well what would go perfect on some decor but Reneabouquets NEW Lemon Blossom Collection. 

I had purchased this cute little cutting board from the Dollar Tree months ago and knew that it would be involved in project eventually. I began by decoupaging a buffalo check black and white napkin to the front of the board. I then gave it a light dry brushing of white gesso. Once dry I gave it a layer of Rock Candy Crackle Paint for a pretty shine. I then assembled the Large Rectangular Shaker Box DIY Kit (also new to the store). I filled it with some pretty shaker items, No Hole Pearl Glass MicrobeadsNo Hole Lime Green Glass MicrobeadsGawdie Girl Diamond Chunky German Glitter GlassPrinted Beautiful Board Large Tuck It In Lemon Blossoms Chipboard, and also from my stash assorted sequins in coordinating colors. 

The gorgeous bee used here is Lemon Blossom Bees Premium Paper Body with Double Wing Layers .The NEW Printed Beautiful Board Large Lemon Blossom Corners were used at the bottom and I added Hand Tinted Buttercream Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass to the lemons. 

The top of the cutting board was decorated with a messy bow, some jute and  Honey Roses And Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers. I then took the Printed Beautiful Board Large Lemon Blossom Branches and once again added more of the Hand Tinted Buttercream Gawdie Girl Chunky Glitter Glass to the lemons. Below is a video tutorial for your pleasure.

I hope you enjoyed this project, I can't wait to display this in my hutch. Until next time.... blessings.
