Mothers Day Altered Embroidery Hoop - BoBunny Harmony Collection

Hello Everyone

Mothers Day was a super day spent with my Mom and the rest of the family.

I created an altered embroidery hoop for my Mom and she was thrilled with it.

It is up on the BoBunny blog here.

Here's a little sneek peak.

On this hoop I didn't do too much from a mixed media perspective as I felt the lace was so pretty and I did not want to cover that up.

There is also a video up on the blog, which I hope you might have a look at too! ;-)

Thanks ever so much for stopping by!

Have a super Sunday!

Mothers Day Card and Gift Bottle - BoBunny Butterfly Kisses

Hello Everyone

I hope that you all had a fabulous Mothers Day yesterday! ;-)

We had a lovely lunch for my Mom and Aunt and it really was a lovely day to be a Mom too! ;-)

I made a card and a gift for my Mom, using the new BoBunny Butterfly Kisses Collection.

It really is one gorgeous collection.

Here's the card I made.

I did some mixed media effects, along with lots of stamping and fussy cutting.

Here's a closer look.

I also altered a bottle as a gift.

I firstly used some alcohol inks to add some colour to the bottle.

Then I did some fussy cutting and added little clusters all around the bottle.

I filled it with some chocolate raisin Tumbles that my Mom likes and then also gave her a scarf.

She was very happy with her gifts! ;-)

Well I hope you had a super Monday! ;-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Altered Book Canvas - Berry71BLeu

Hello Everyone

I am up on the Berry71Bleu blog here to share my take on this months Mood Board.  Kay created a gorgeous board.

So I decided to make a gift for my Mother for Mothers Day.

I had this idea rollling around in my head for ages and so decided to go ahead and create it.

I used an old book, which I first stuck down onto the canvas and then altered the book with gesso, paints, stamps, papers and blooms.

I used the gorgeous Graphic 45 Place in Time papers.

The resin heart is Prima, which I coloured with distress paint.

The chipboard rounds and little Scarab beetle is Umwow.

The chipboard leaves are Celebr8 and the blooms Petaloo.

Here's a side view of the book.

The gesso acts like glue and so running the brush along the pages, made most of them stick.  

I also used quite a bit down the middle of the book, which when dried, kept the book open.

I arranged the flowers cascading down the middle of the book and then onto the pages.

This project really came together so easily and was so enjoyable to create.

I really hope my Mother likes it and can put it somewhere nice.

I also created a little card, which I will put between the pages.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a super evening!

BoBunny Scrapbook Adhesives 3L Blog Hop

Hello Everyone

Welcome to the BoBunny & Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L blog hop!  You should have come 
from: Scrapbook Adhesives 3L.

For my project I created a canvas for Mothers Day, next month.  I plan to give it either to my Mother or sister as a Mothers Day gift.

Here 's the canvas.

This is a 20cmx20cm canvas.  I used stickable stencils and gesso to create the background and then used Tim Holtz Distress Paint - Gathered Twigs for the colouring, along with some blue acrylic paint.

I stamped the flowers and leaves with BoBunny stamps and then coloured them with watercolour pencils. I then fussy cut them.  I used gold beads for the centres of the bigger flowers and Ivory Flower Soft for the smaller flower centres. I stuck these down with the 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives 3L.

This is an angled shot to give you an idea of the layering and different elements.

The verse I found on Pinterest and I just loved it so much. It's such a great piece for any Mother to remind us of the vitally important role that we play, in our childrens lives. I printed this onto the patterned paper and then stuck them down the with the 3D Foam Creative Sheets from Scrapbook Adhesives 3L. I loved these 3D Foam Creative Sheets, I am definitely going to aquire some more of these.

Sometimes when one has painted onto a canvas, not all the adhesives stick so well.  However, these Scrapbook Adhesives 3L products were just amazing and stuck like a dream. That's exactly what one wants and makes for pleasurable and easy creating! ;-)

Patterned Paper - BoBunny - Garden Journal - Post Card
