Same Product, 4 Designers

So our task today, over at the Bo Bunny Blog, was to use specific products from each of the new CHA collections, including paper, chipboard, stickers, buttons and ribbon, to create a layout.

You MUST head over to the Bo Bunny Blog, to see what the other DT gals have created from the same supply list. You will be amazed at how differently each of us have interpreted the challenge.

I tried to stay true to my shabby chic (with lots of distressing) style so I kept to the warmer brown tones with a mix of brown and aqua.

Some of these items were quite difficult for me to include on my project as I tend to be very 'matchy-match' with my colours and scheme. I ended up using some of the denim wrap but because it was such a punchy 'denim' colour, I painted and inked it to get the brown tone you see on my page.

I also like my pages very full of product (white space is VERY hard for me). Because we weren't suppose to 'add' extra product to our list, I built up the space with layers of paper, chipboard swirls and butterflies.

Lots of intricate fussy cutting. Yes, it takes lots of time, patience and a steady hand - but its definitely worth the results.

Bo Bunny Supplies:
Timepiece Combo Sticker
Vicki B. 12” Chipboard
Gabrielle Patterned Paper: Dot, Unwritten, Stripe, Promenade
Ad Lib Buttons
Blast Off Wrap
Any Flourish Double Dot

Thanks for the visit!!
