Hoppy Monday - BoBunny Scavenger Hunt!

Welcome to my blog! If you did not start out at BoBunny's blog today, just an FYI - we are having a fun blog hop and scavenger hunt! By hunting down the answers to Julia's questions, and submitting them to her, you will have a chance to win one of the three new and fabulous BoBunny releases!

When a monarch we released last September landed on blooming purple butterfly bush to feed, my first thought was "purple, orange and green - the photos will match Halloween papers!" Because BoBunny's two-sided designs are so versatile, I could use the great colors without having goblins peeking about in a layout dedicated to nature and it's beautiful winged creatures. We find it amazing that Monarch butterflies travel thousands of miles each fall to "hang out" in warm Mexico for the winter. Their wings are more durable than we are often led to believe.

Silver glitter alphabet stickers are colorized with Wild Plum alcohol ink - a tip I learned from Tim Holtz on his blog last year. I ran out and bought the remaining stock of silver glitter letters at my LSS.(LOL) Punched flowers from Boo Crew Masquerade papers were misted with Plum Glimmer Mist. Sparkle Mod Podge was used to not only glue the two butterfaly Quickutz dies together, but add sparkle as well.


I used a black glaze pen to outline the butterfly punched from Double Dot Citrus cardstock. A micro-tip marker allowed me to doodle flowers on the butterfly to tie in with design on the BoB Harmony butterfly stamp.


I love to use my 3" EK scallop circle punch as a base for journaling. I set up a template on my PC that allows me to open it anytime needed to type in journaling text to fit into a circle that can then but cut, or punched, out and adhered to the center of the circle.


Designer tips:
• Not sure why your colored pencil box has white? Use it to outline/trace die-cut shapes onto patterned paper, and then cut your own die-cut paper. For this project I left the white outline on the paper as I knew it would more readily set off the bold on bold colors used in this layout.
• Contrasting purple thread used to stitch the folded ribbon down retains the color scheme and offers something beyond a neutral thread color.
