I really enjoyed playing with the Bo Bunny Olivia collection recently. The papers and embellishments are so soft and feminine. For the above l/o I dressed up the chipboard dress-form from the chipboard collection with a little bit of gathered ribbon. I love that they also make wonderful dot cardstock that coordinates with each of their collection. I used the Chiffon Dot and the Coral Dot Bo Bunny cardstock to make the blooms on this page. I did a little tutorial for the Bo Bunny Blog on these if you'd like to have a look! ~~> Bo Bunny Blog
Here are a few close-ups of the page elements....
TIP: When using fabric that frays (like organza, silk etc.) you can easily finish the edge and give it a bit of a 'ruffle' by using a little 'flame'. I just light a small tea candle and carefully bring the edge of the fabric towards the flame so that it melts slightly.....
Thanks for stopping by for a peek! .....I've got a sweet butterfly tutorial coming up soon!

I Scrap So All Moments Are Remembered!
Your handmade flowers are just the prettiest I've ever seen. And your layout is simply stunning...in every sense of the word:) I'd have never thought of using the soft pinks and creams that are in the gorgeous Olivia line...but this looks so great! I like the teared edges, that give us a peek at the pink paper. And that dressform is simply fantastic. I like how you 'dressed it up':)

Hey Gabi, just giving some treat for my eyes on your blog :-) Everything is so pretty and admirable! Thanks for the tips and I can`t wait to see your butterfly tutorial! Hugs, Gerry
Luv, luv, luv the mannequin. What glue did you use to adhere the ribbon to the mannequin? I'm going to try my hand at it so any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
