Bo Bunny Card Challenge

Here is the sketch for the Bo Bunny Card Challenge ending on 11-4-2011

And here is my card...

All Supplies Bo Bunny except for base kraft card stock, and thread
Patterned Paper= Garden Girl
Packaging and Petals= ETC.
Chipboard= Garden Girl
Bling= ETC.

I used the packaging from the Bo Bunny Petal to make the focal point into a pumpkin. The chipboard flourishes resemble the stem and vines of the pumpkin. ( At least in my mind they do)! :) The bling from the ETC. line are to represent smaller pumpkins in a field. Distressed all the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. TFL!

Hi All ! I used my new Sizzix/Hero Arts Framelits die with matching stamps to create this card. This is based on a ColorQ color combo, but I used Tim Holtz Distress inks instead up Stampin 'up colors. The colors used are: Worn Lipstick, Broken China, Shabby Shutters, Pearl(Perfect Pearl Powder) and the gray is from Close to MY Heart ,Gray Wool. The Black ink is Tsulineko Memento ink in Tuxedo Black. Thanks for looking! PS. I dyed the seam binding with Distress Stain in Worn Lipstick.

Bo Bunny Sketch Challenge !

Bo Bunny Supplies: patterned paper:ETC. -mailroom, Organic- marigold; chipboard letters, chipboard flourish, brads, stickers: ETC. line

other supplies: white card stock:Georgia Pacific,  pre-primed canvas: JoAnn Fabrics, natural muslin: JoAnn Fabrics, stamps: Stamper's Anonymous-Tim Holtz-Game of Life, dies: Sizzix-Flower-3D-Fringed, Tim Holtz- On The Edge-Scallops, Cheery Lynn Designs-Exotic Butterfly Small, Exotic Butterfly Small#2  font: Lucida Sans Typewriter, inks: Tim Holtz-Distress Stain, Tim Holtz Distress Ink,    other: jute twine, sewing machine, thread

Techniques: I used my Exacto-knife to cut around the Bo Bunny Noteworthy label shape onto the Marigold paper(white with ivory brushstrokes) , and then stained it with Tim Holtz Distress Stain in Stormy Sky, and Tumbled Glass. After it dried, I sprayed it with my white craft paint/water mixture to get the look of the sea foam. For the two canvas flowers, I die cut them with the Sizzix -Flower- 3D Fringed and then stained them to match the title block. When they dried I rubbed them in the left over white paint/ water from my craft sheet to further distress them.


I LOVE THIS PAPER LINE !!! I think it goes with any photo!! Thank You Bo Bunny!

Card Design By My Daughter

My daughter and I spent some time together  in the craft room this weekend, and this is what she made!! Completely on her own, she made a sketch of her idea and then created it all on her own!! I love it, and she was so excited, that she said" Can you put it on your blog, is it good enough?" Of course I can, it's beautiful :)
