Bo Bunny Blog Hop - Part 2!!

Welcome to the SECOND part of the Bo Bunny blog hop! I'm so excited that you all have joined us! The hop begins at the Bo Bunny blog so if you would like to participate, you may want to head there first.

For today's blog hop, I would like to share with you a layout I created with the wonderfully versatile Timepiece Collection.

Oh how I love the deep, bold colours of this line!

Lots of fussy cut paper elements on this project but I found that they didn't stand out well enough with the background paper. I later hilighted the cut outs with dimensional paint which really helped to pop each design.

I used some butterflies from Bo Bunny's Gabrielle collection which coordinates just wonderfully with the Timepiece line! To help your title stand out better you can do something as simple as outline with a white journal pen. I use this inexpensive scrappy item on quite a few of my projects for faux stitching as well!

Hope you all enjoyed this project and felt inspired!

Remember to leave a comment on each designer's blog. Bo Bunny will choose one designer's blog to pick a comment from at random and award a prize. There will also be a second prize! To be eligible for the second prize leave a comment on the Bo Bunny blog after hopping through all the blogs and one lucky winner will be chosen at random for another prize.

Thanks for dropping by my blog today. Hope to see you all again soon!

Beautiful job on the layout. Love the bold colors, too. I like the idea of adding the white to highlight, but my local craft store doesn't keep them in stock long enough for me to pick one up...LOL! Glad I hopped in.
