Happy spring everyone... hope you are having a wonderful month. Today I have a design team project for ReneaBouquets and I have created a spring time garden purse.
Inspired by ReneaBouquets moodboard this month I used several ReneaBouquet products.
Added some chunky glitters and microbeads to the flowers for added texture and interest.
Ideaology Baseboard Doll was colored a bit with water base pens, and of course ReneaBouquet butterflies always complete a project perfectly. For a list of products used check out this blogpost HERE.
Hope this brought a little bit of "springtime" into your creative life. And for your pleasure I have also included a process video for your viewing. Have a spectacular month.
Hi everyone, hope you are having fun creating for the upcoming holidays. ReneaBouquets had a reverse canvas challenge "Cozy Christmas" and this is what I came up with. Hope you are inspired.
I altered the inside of the canvas with chipboard to create little cubbies to fill with Christmas goodies. Lots of ReneaBouquets items here as well as Ideaology.
Love making these shadow boxes because each one takes on a life of it's own and the items you can add to them is endless.
The outside of the box I decorated with pretty cotton crocheted lace from ReneaBouquets and I will list the products below of all that I used.
Wishing you a Christmas filled with magic and wonder. For your pleasure I have created a process video below which explains this canvas a little more in detail. xoxo Toni

Hi Everyone... it has been awhile since my last post, but don't think for a moment that I haven't been getting messy in the studio. In fact, things had gotten so out of control it was time to do a little re-organizing of my creative chaos. For those that know me well, you know how much I ♥ Tim Holtz. I have been wanting to buy something to keep all my Tim Ideology trinkets in but nothing has really caught my eye, or if it did it was a small fortune. And then I remember I had these advent boxes for sell in my Etsy shop and decided this was the perfect house for all my pieces.
First I gave the entire piece including all the little boxes a nice coat of black acrylic paint.
Then I took metal tap and ran it though my Vagabond using my "Gears" embossing folder. Applied it to the outer sides of the advent box. Black acrylic pain was applied and then wiped off to give it an aged to perfection look.
I had these little furniture buttons and thought these would look perfect for knobs... this is an optional step... you don't really need knobs as each drawer does have a cutout for easy pulling of the drawers. I painted the knobs black and applied a tiny speck of silver Rub & Buff. They turned out looking like aged door knobs.
Using my Maya Road thread spools which I also sell in my Etsy store, I painted them black and cut strips of the metal embossed tape to place around the spools.
Originally I was going to use these as little feet on the bottom of the box but later decided not to use them for that. I ended up gluing them to the top of the box instead for added decoration.
Next using Tim Holtz paper collection "Lost and Found" I cut out the letters and using Glossy Accents glued the letters to assorted sizes of Ideology Fragments and then glued to the top of the box.
So go get creative and have fun for all your embellishments !!!
