The Scrapbook Store - Bo Bunny Love and Lace

Hi Everyone,

Sharing 2 more layouts created for The Scrapbook Store with the beautiful Bo Bunny "Love and Lace" Collection.  This collection is a beautiful gathering of lace, flowers and leather accents in soft dusky colours that tie in wonderfully with projects featuring love and friendship.

This range is lends itself beautifully to wedding photos, and again I was inspired by this gorgeous pic of my nephew and his beautiful bride.

Two Hearts
I went for the dusky pink colours in this collection for this layout, and softened the floral pp by cutting into strips, weaving them and sponging over with Liquitex Gesso to create a soft and dreamy look.
A bit of stamping with Kaisercraft Script stamp and Blue Fern Stamp Set then flicked over with Kaisercraft Mists.  To frame the photo I used a Prima Resin Frame, accented with a touch of Viva Inka Gold in Mint Green.
The chipboard title is from the  Blue Fern Studios Wedding Words set, which I altered by coating with Faber Castell modelling paste, then inking over with Rose Madder Ranger Archival Ink.

For my 2nd LO I went for the soft pinks and greens with a the jewel tones of the burgundy for a bit of contrast.
The gorgeous Your Creative Wings Chipboard frame was altered with a coat of  Liquitex Gesso, inked over with Rose Madder Archival Ink, then lightly sponged with a bit more gesso to soften the ink.
I mixed a little of the Viva Inka Gold in mint green with Kaisercraft Apple kaiser mist to match the green tones of the pp.

The Scrapbook Store - Bo Bunny Love and Lace

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing my 2nd layout created for The Scrapbook Store with the beautiful Bo Bunny "Love and Lace" Collection.  This collection is a beautiful gathering of lace, flowers and leather accents in soft dusky colours that go beautifully with projects featuring love and friendship.

For this layout I have been inspired by a gorgeous photo of my nephew's wedding, as the love theme in this range lends itself perfectly to wedding photos.

Always and Forever
I love the shabby effect of tearing and layering paper and have been using this technique quite a lot recently as it's a great way to showcase various pp's without it being too busy.  I have chosen the green tones of the Bo Bunny "Affection" and "Leather" pp's and mixed in a section of 7 Dots Studio Soulmates "Welcome to Happiness" in a pretty soft pink to add a little contrast.

The background was masked with the pretty Tim Holtz "Gothic" layering stencil and Shimmerz Texturez paste in crushed coral, then flicked over in several mist colours to add dimension.
This range comes with co-ordinating diecuts and buttons, which I have used to layer around my photo with pretty flowers from Green Tara.
I finished of the layout with a beautiful Blue Fern Studios chipboard title from the Wedding Word Set.

The Scrapbook Store - Bo Bunny Love and Lace

Hi Everyone,

This month for The Scrapbook Store I am designing with the beautiful Bo Bunny "Love and Lace Collection.  A gorgeous romantic collection with pretty florals and lace patterns in lovely jewel tones.

Love the Way you Smile
I was immediately drawn to the gorgeous royal blue "True Love pp in this collection and decided to team it with the burgundy "Cherish" pp as I love the gorgeous contrast they create.  To give my layout a soft and dreamy look, I masked the background with the beautiful Dusty Attic Lace Stencil... I think this one will become a fav!!

Pretty Prima flowers teamed with the sweet Green Tara roses. and Bo Bunny Noteworthy Diecuts were teamed together to create my floral embellishments.  I have swiped the roses with a touch of Faber Castell Gesso to tie in with the shabby chic romantic look of my layout.

How pretty is the Dusty Attic Lace Stencil!!  I have masked with Faber Castell Whipped Spackle... love this product, so light and fluffy, then flicked over with Lindy's Stamp Gang Cotton Candy Starburst Mist.
