Lucky Charm Country Chic Fall Layout

 

Have A Beautiful Day!! 
I captured one my favorite looks with my Reneabouquets Products, a beautiful Fall day, and in my favorite style, Country Chic with this layout, and I hope it inspires you to create around your favorite time of the year and in your own favorite style.



I started with a base layer of Blue Fern Studios Eclectic Charm paper and then heavily distressed a 2nd piece of the paper and layered them both together for a strong base to my layout.



I created a burlap matte for my photo and then layered on a distressed 4 x 6 Piece of paper that was edge painted with  Jacquard Metallic Rust Paint. 


I took some White Tear Drop Lace  and colored it using some Tim Holtz Distress Faded Denim Spray.

Next, I created an accent using the topper piece from the Beautiful Board Small Honey Bee Pattern that was inked with Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and then sponge painted with the Jacquard Metallic Rust Paint for a 2 tone effect.


I repeated the painting process using a set of  Beautiful Board Chipboard Large Quilling Flourishes, added a Large, 

Sweetheart Bumble Bees Glass Wing & Glass Heart Premium Paper Body



And Started Adding in flowers from the Midnight Magic Roses and Leaves Mulberry Paper Flower SetPrinted Beautiful Board Small Tuck It In Sweet Daisy Laser Cut Chipboard,   Beautiful Beads Midnight Magic Iridescent Pearls, and burlap string bows adding color, texture and visual interest to my layout.





I then repeated the pattern of flowers, BBoard Pieces, lace, burlap string and Bees throughout the layout, giving a unified theme to the whole piece. 




Here you can see all the visual interest created by multiple textures, mediums and color.

No matter what your favorite Season or what Season you are in, I hope you are enjoying creating, and that I have inspired you to create something beautiful today. Hugs ~ Renea

BeWitching Oversized Halloween Tag

Halloween Projects can be so fun to create, like this Bewitching Oversized Tag that I created using Boo-tiful Products from Reneabouquets. 



Come Along With Me, as I walk you through the steps that I used to make this tag:

 

I created a base for the tag, by upcycling a thick, corrugated box. I cut the box into a tag that is 8 1/2 Inches Tall x 4 Inches Wide. I then inked the ridges and edges of the tag using Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink. 

A rectangle was cut in the following size: 4 Inch Wide x 4 1/2 Inch Tall Piece of Blue Fern Studios Eclectic Charm Paper, and the edges were heavily distressed  and then lightly inked with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink. 



The Small Piece from the Beautiful Board Doily #2 Set was then inked with Tim Holtz Peeled Paint Distress Ink randomly by taking the pad and running it over the chipboard piece. A Printed Beautiful Board Winnie The Witch Size Tiny Chipboard Die Cut was added onto the doily using foam tape for added dimension.



The Corners are Beautiful Board Small Cobweb Corners Laser Cut Chipboard  that I first inked lightly with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink and then overlaid with Ranger White Diamond Stickles. The smaller spiders that come with the Corners were then inked with the same Black Soot Ink, then painted with Ranger Black Diamond Stickles and accented with a Designer Glass Moonstone No Hole Bead for a WICKED look.




At the bottom of the tag, 3 layers of lace were attached for a variation in color, texture and dimension. The Laces Include:



I constantly go on walks in the woods, and found a gorgeous piece of moss a few weeks back and realized that it would be perfect for this project, so I popped it on, added some real black feathers and a bow that was made from sheer ribbon. To complete the look, a little rhinestone and enamel owl charm from the Woodland Animal Trinkets was attached to to the bow.




The top of the tag is adorned with a multi-layer bow made from hand dyed seam binding, a drop from the black tear drop lace, real black feathers and another little Owl.




I wanted to add more texture and color on the tag, so I randomly painted spots with Ranger Crackle paste, let that air dry to produce a SPOOKTACULAR, crackle texture, and then sprayed the crackled spots  with Tim Holtz Peeled Paint Distress Spray Stain, over inked it with Black Soot Distress Ink and then popped on some Designer Glass Fairy Opal No Hole Beads.




For the most EERIE-SISTABLE last touches, I took 2 Hand Crafted Tiny Treasures Savory Spice Butterflies topped them with the leftover Larger Spiders from the Cobweb Corner Set, painted and accented them to match the spiders in the webs and added them to the tag.



The tag was finished out with Blue Fern Paper on the Back that was distressed and edged with Tim Holtz Rusty Hinge Distress Ink for a finished, designer look.
