Dream Travel altered printers tray with BoBunny

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here and today I am going to share my altered wooden printers tray that I made with BoBunny new and most gorgeous Penelope collection.

This 12*12'' wooden tray was already embellished once and was dirty white.
I decided to make the new tray as my small tribute to our trips to some not so known countries and the first step was to paint it to dark brown with the touch of gold.
I used Pentart Primer for Decor paint as the first layer and then painted with brown Decor paint and added some top touches of Creamy Acrylic Baroque Gold and now the tray was ready to be embellished.
The printers tray is a kind of Project Life blank canvas. So I decided to make " a page" from out trip to Albania.
I am not going to tell you a story of this small and unknown and still deeply communist county, but just to show our own photos and a bit of the country around.
The colors of Penelope collection where just the perfect fit to my photos that were mainly natural, blue and green.
Each cardstock piece was cut to fit the tray slot and then embellished with die cuts, hand cuts, wooden shapes, flowers and rhinestones.
Here are some close- ups to the slots:

As you can see  I also embellished over the tray to add more interest and more texture to the simple designs of the slots.

 All wooden and chipboard shapes were painted with the same Baroque Gold Acrylic paint.

Small die cuts were added as  the extra over the tray embellishments.

 Here you can see the depth of the tray and the imperfect painting inside the tray that was made in purpose to imitate the old wood.

 BoBunny flowers and die cuts made the most beautiful edge spot on the whole tray.
Here is the full BoBunny and Pentart long product list:

Garden Party wedding layout with BoBunny

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new BoBunny inspirational post.
Irit is here today and I am going to share a Wedding page made with the new, most gorgeous Garden Party BoBunny collection and my lovely daughter wedding photos.
This collection is the perfect match to her last year garden wedding and the greens of her photos fit perfectly to the greens of the collection.

As it's a wedding reception layout I decided to add golds to the page and used  gold glitter paste over stencil on the edges first.

Then I added gold spray over the whole page.
The chipboard hearts, die cut flourish and the die cut titles were painted with gold liquid Pentart paint and they sure shine!

As I wanted to add  this " something blue" item to the layout and the groom's outfit is light blue I added blue lace and some blue jewels to make it less monochromatic and a bit more interesting. And I found this blue lace and the metal black with blue trinket in another new collection ephemera package (Family Recipes).

So don't afraid to mix and match! It works.

Trust your journey altered canvas with BoBunny and Pentart

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new BoBunny post.
Today I am going to share a pretty big altered Mixed Media canvas.
I am still waiting for my new BoBunny collections to come and thanks to our very " fast" postal service it will take  a few more days or even weeks. So I decided to make a project with the most general BoBunny products and those products are just perfect for any Mixed Media project.

Trust Your Journey altered Mixed Media canvas by Irit Shalom

The base was made over the flat 13.5*9.5'' canvas, but if you don't have any you sure can use a thick chipboard piece as this is just a base for those chipboard rectangles glued over the canvas.
I used old recycled chipboard and just arranged them to fit the canvas size. Four brads were added in each and every  piece, but only four corner ones are BoBunny brads as I just used the very simple small craft store brads for the background.
Then the background was painted with black gesso, misted with bronze spray and waxes were added randomly.
Three BoBunny stencils were used with glitter paste mostly on the outer spots of the project with large clock added partly in the middle.
I used a couple of chipboard sets for the main spot in the middle as the background and the sentiment.
Die cuts were made from BoBunny Double dot cardstocks and painted to this vintage patina look with a combination of Pentart paints.
BoBunny flowers were painted and misted too and got this metallic look (originally green).
 Now let me show the whole project again and then to show you some close-ups.

 This is the central spot from the front:

And here how it looks from the side:

 And my altered flowers :

 More close-ups to background:

 On this photo you can see the white stamped background and 3d powder mixed with gel paste and acrylic paint.
Also you can see the gold transfers, stencilled part and different mediums over the background.

I hope that you liked my Mixed Media project and just to add- everything here is BoBunny or Pentart, but the recycled chipboard and small brads.So you don't need to scroll a lot of shops, but to go to BoBunny shop and to get whatever you need to make the similar project.

Papercrafting with BoBunny

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my BoBunny papercrafting inspiration.

This time I made a Mixed Media layout where the main point is the title and not the photo.

This huge title was made over Double Dot BoBunny cardstock with large stencil BB letters.

Let's say that this was pretty much time consuming as also there are two of each letters there, but not three or four (like letter E). So I made this title by steps and covered with a thin layer of Pentart white gesso.

I like this " nonsense" title that is this " Keep calm" all over thing, but I made it my own.

And as the photo has a clock on it I added lots of clocks with BB  stencils and one BB die cut clock.

The die cut clock was covered with Copper BB glitter paste and arranged over black die cut circle.

 The only embellishments here are this huge cluster made with BB Serendipity collection chipboard (painted to copper color), one new heart die cut and one single BB flower that was already in this copper color.
Some background stamping was added to the " white spaces" with different BB stamps.

Steampunk tag - BoBunny Media post

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my second July Media post made for BoBunny.

Most of you think that BoBunny is a company with most adorable. but quite cute products.

To show you your mistake I make dark, industrial and even Steampunk projects with BoBunny and Pentart products and this tag is a good example of all possibilities you get when  you have BoBunny cardstock, dies, stamps and mediums.

So this is my Love today Stempunk tag made with Double Dot BoBunny cardstocks, new dies,  stencil, copper transfers, leftover chipboards frame and a few Pentart mediums and paints.

My favorite medium on this piece is the Iron paste that I used over simple cardstock die cuts. Don't you think it looks like a real rusty iron? It is!

BoBunny Media post: painted wooden coasters

Hello my dear crafty friends!

Today I am going to share my  " no paper" BoBunny and Pentart project.

This time I made a set of wooden altered coasters using 6 different Pentart paints that were diluted with water to give the wood this wash paint effect.

Then I stamped over the box and each piece with black pigmented ink, 3 different BoBunny stamp sets and heat embossed each stamped image with black embossing powder.

Later the stamped images were painted with new Delicate Gold Pentart paint.

This is a project that is easy to make and fun to use!

BoBunny Media post: Steampunk altered woodem box

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Today I am going to share my BoBunny altered wooden Steampunk box/
The box is made with BoBunny/Pentart products only. Each and every piece is a die cut (the background is made of leftover chipboard pieces form one of BoBunny collections).
Each die cut was made several times and glued to imitate the chipboard pieces.
Nothing on this box is a metal, but use of metallic paints even over the fabric BoBunny flowers.

Grunge set of 4 ATC

ATC cards are fun and I really love to make them.
So those  small grungy cards I made were made for some web challenges.

Backgrounds were made with texture paste, stencils (Scrapmatts), embossing powders, stamping (BoBunny), heat embossing and misting.
Then I added chipboards (Scrapmatts) painted with acylics (Pentart) and clay casted pieces. Everytning was painted again over and over with Pentart paints. Crackle paste was added over some pieces and Scrapmatts words were glued to make it count as real ATC cards.
Here are all ATC shown one by one:
