And They Lived...

What inspires you to create? Is it fantastic papers and embellishments? What about that perfect kodak moment captured by accident? Is it different elements found in nature - birds chirping, the sun shining brightly, the bold, bright colours in the flowers around you? For me it is a combination of all the above. The Bo Bunny designers were asked to create a project taking inspiration from the photo below.

When I saw this image it instantly reminded me of a vintage quilt. All the colours are so vibrant and the flowers, so feminine. I created this layout with these characteristics in mind. To mimic the pattern in the quilt, I added some stitching throughout my layout in a similar design.

I also used pieces from the Ambrosia Card kit (they have awesome chipboard pieces in this kit as well as cardstock elements, etc) and Mini Album to add dimension to my page.

Here you can see the zig-zag pattern I created from some of Bo Bunny's Rub-Ons.

The beautiful purple flowers and pearls are from ZVA Creative.

Thanks so very much for your visit today! Hope you have a wonderful Wednesday!
