The Scrapbook Store - Bo Bunny Secret Garden Collection

 Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing my final layout for the month for The Scrapbook Store created with the beautiful Bo Bunny 'Secret Garden' Collection.  Why not pop in to the The Scrapbook Store and check out this gorgeous collection of papers while they are still in store.

Take Time to Smell The Roses

I love to look through Pinterest for inspiration photos and came across this lovely pic which I thought would go beautifully with the Bo Bunny Secret Garden range.  I have fussy cut the pretty flowers from the 'Roses' pp and layered them with a couple of Doodlebug mini paper doiles to frame my photo.

I have to admit that I adore Blue Fern chippies and have used the gorgeous Collage Border which I cut up into 3 separate pieces.  I sponged the pieces with Liquitex surface prep gesso and whilst still wet I applied a mix of Stampendous aged shabby pink and aged rose embossing powders.  I love the vintage/shabby effect you can create with these embossing powders!!

The colours in this range a really vibrant, so to achieve a softer and dreamier effect I have lightly sponged over the background papers with Liquitex gesso, and used the Tim Holtz latticework stencil with Prima Modelling Paste.

The Scrapbook Store DT - Bo Bunny Secret Garden

Hi all,

This month for The Scrapbook Store I am creating with the beautiful Bo Bunny 'Secret Garden' Collection.

This collection has a pretty Spring garden theme in shades of purples, blues and pinks, with hints of silver foil.

The Whole World is a Garden

For this layout I chose to go with the pink toned patterned papers and sourced my photo from Pinterest.

The Green Tara azaleas were the perfect fit with these pp's and the fussy cut blossoms.

How gorgeous is the new Blue Fern Serendipity Medley background stamp!!  I have randomly stamped with this and embossed in Stampendous metallic sterling silver to tie in with the lovely foil paper accents.

The Scrapbook Store Bo Bunny Secret Garden - More Than Words April Challenge

Hi everyone.

A new month with new projects created for The Scrapbook Store!!  This month I am creating with the new Bo Bunny 'Secret Garden' Collection - a beautiful range in lilac, blue, soft pinks and hints of green with a garden theme full of pretty florals, patterns and the sweetest little birds.

Enjoy the Journey

For this layout I was inspired by this month's Challenge at More Than Words Challenge Site.  Pop in to the 'More Than Words blog for details and challenge rules and while you're there, check out the gorgeous creations from the super talented Design Team and prepare to be inspired!!

Bo Bunny 'Secret Garden' Collection

Word Inspiration - Escape

Creative Challenge - Mood Photo

I was drawn to the  'Greenhouse' pp which has all these lovely patterned circles in pretty colours and different sizes.  To make the circles pop I stamped around them with various circle stamps, then fussy cut around them.  Keeping to the circle theme, I added some cute Doodlebug lilac mist enamel sprinkles and a gorgeous Blue Fern Chipboard small circle flourish to frame my photo.

I have used foam tape to create depth when overlapping the circles, then added a few Green Tara mini blossoms and TSS mini flowers here and there.

Doodlebug Design – Sprinkles – Lilac Mist

Green Tara – 2.8cm Mini Blossoms – White

Tip:  If you want to recreate this look but don't have circle stamps you could use different sized bottle caps and lids with black mist or watered down black paint to make the circles pop.

Tim Holtz – Layering Stencil - Bubble

To create the background I stenciled with  the Tim Holtz bubble stencil and ink, then stamped over the top with the new Blue Fern Brocade Flourish stamp in sky blue Ranger archival ink, and to create an overall softness I flicked with Pink Ladies Pink Lindys Stamp Gang mist, dried off then flicked with White Kaiser Mist.

The beautiful Blue Fern Chipboard flourish frame was altered by first coating with gesso, then once dry, inking in green and purple inks - inks are listed below

Today I have my projects to share created with the 1st new range for this month... the beautiful and oh so pretty "Secret Garden" Collection!!

 “Love With All Your Heart” Layout
 Really loved creating with this collection of pretty papers in pink, green and blue tones.  I decided to go for a soft and dreamy look by adding a white background and masking with the Leaves Template in white, then colour-washing the background using peach and pink Kaisermists and letting them blend together in some areas.   I then flicked white Kaiser paint (mixed with a little water) over the masking and once dry randomly stamped with the Vintage Fence texture stamp. 

To add a little dimension to my flowers, I glued some microbeads to the centres.

Other Product:  DM-1MM2M32 Derivan Matisse Light Modelling Paste, microbeads, doilies, ink

“You are So Special To Me” Layout
Kept the same theme as my first LO and went for a soft and dreamy.   I find that I tend to cut up the Specialty Papers rather than leave them whole,  This way You can use them over multiple projects... giving you great value.  Here I have used one of the gorgeous Specialty Paper Diecut Doiles as the base for my photo and cut it into 2 pieces, but have used both pieces on the one LO this time.  I lightly sanded the edges to create some softness.

I have quite a few paper blooms in my stash.  They are fabulous to use as they are, but you can give the flowers dimension, by folding them in half, then quarters, and adding some stamens to poke up through the centres.
