Forever Young "Oahu" Layout ~ FotoBella DT

     The bright, tropical colors in Bo Bunny's Forever Young I Want It All Bundle, from FotoBella, were just made for this photo that my sister took from her lanai when she was living in Hawaii.

     I started by masking the polaroid from the Noteworthy pack onto the cloud paper that I got from the 12 X 12 Collection Pack with Black Soot Distress Ink. The pineapple, pink hibiscus diecut, and green paper with the title, also come in the Noteworthy pack. Then I angled the Chipboard  palm tree image over my masking, and added the Pistachio Burlap Flower from Petaloo. I just LOVE these new flowers, and the colors match this collection perfectly, so I also added the Fushia one on top!

     The chevron paper was fussy cut, and then I outlined it with some black hand-stitching, extending the zigzag along the bottom. I added some Buttons on the corners, with some white yarn in between to mimic the clouds. Then I strung some black and white twine from my own stash through the banner buttons. To make the title, I used the Alpha Stickers, alternating the black and grey letters.

Thanks for looking!

Forever Young Card ~ FotoBella DT

     I'm back with another card to share using Bo Bunny's Forever Young I Want It All Bundle from FotoBella! This one was made with love for my brave, little, nephew, who's battling and conquering cancer right now. I wish we didn't live so far away!  He loves to play cards, so I included the ones that come in the Ephemera.

     

     The green paper, ribbon, and arrow stamp that I used on top, also come in the Ephemera. I fussy cut the donuts from the back of the "Smile" paper, that comes in the 12 X 12 Collection Pack, and used the Alpha Stickers to spell "sending".  The envelope comes in the Layered Chipboard, and was just the right touch for this card. I cut "peace" off of the "Love & Hugs" Chipboard piece, and inked the edges with blue ink. You can't send love without some hearts, like the Chipboard ones that I used here. Have a great day!

  

          

Forever Young "Flamingos" 2 Pager ~ FotoBella DT

     Bo Bunny's Forever Young I Want It All Bundle from FotoBella, is exactly what I've had in mind for these flamingo photos that I've been waiting to scrap! I just LOVE the bright, tropical colors! I used both of the flamingo papers from the 12 X 12 Collection Pack, cutting off the flamingo on the second page, to create this 2 pager.

     To add some texture and sparkle to the water, I applied some new Bo Bunny Glitter Paste (Sugar) using the Tim Holtz Stripes Stencil, which gave it a really neat ripple effect. Here's a closer look with one of the buttons that I added from the Ephemera pack.

     The green and orange flowers also come in the Ephemera, along with the paisely stamp that I used to make the petals behind them. I used the clear plastic that the papers come in, to stamp the paisley with Ranger Archival Black ink. After fussy cutting them, I colored them with Alcohol Inks (Stream and Lettuce) and Blending Solution, adding some glitter Brads to the centers.

     From the Noteworthy pack, I used the banner, tickets, and tag that I wrote on, peeking out from under the Film Sticker. I used Picked Raspberry Distress Ink on the tag and under the title, which I did by adding some Glitter Paste (Pink Punch) to the bottom half of the Alpha Stickers. All of the paper strips and edges were inked with  Black Soot Distress Ink, including the banner, which I curled up a little.

                   Thanks so much for your visit!
