The first thing I did when I got my collection was sit down with a few of the patterned papers (while watching TV) and fussy cut the butterflies and labels from the Bliss and Garden papers. This way I was ready to roll when I started in on my layouts. I also went a little crazy with the new Washi Tapes! I used a whole bunch of strips to outline the framework of my background paper, then added random strips here and there as finishing touches. Another design element I used on this page is the Dusty Attic 'Leafy Scroll' which I painted with some Dusty In Color Paints. (You can find Dusty Attic chippies at Natasha's website HERE )
I wanted to go for an artsy/mixed media style background on this one, so I used lots of Bo Bunny texture and background stamps along with inks and texture paste. The small pink blooms where made from one of the patterned papers using a flower die. I wrote part of the title on my photo using a white Signo Unibal gel pen, this one writes very well on photos.
Bo Bunny Product used:
Patterned Paper: Bliss, Garden, Gate, Breath-taking, Memories/Primrose
Buttons: Primrose
Washi Tape: Primrose, Modern Miss, Black and White
Stamps: Distressed Textures, It is Written, On this Day, Mama-razzi 2
