Jan 17th Challenge
Hello Papercrafters!
Today is the start of a new challenge over at our Challenge Blog “Scrapbook Essentials BC Challenges”. We are featuring The Welcome Home collection by Bo Bunny today. This week’s challenge is a colour challenge:
The Design Team has come up with some fabulous samples for you for inspiration. Make sure you head over to our Challenge Blog to see all of the samples. If you have any questions regarding the products we use, please leave us a comment and we will be happy to answer your question.
Here are 2 samples for you to start with.
The first sample is by the Illustrator of the Essential Stamps Teresa Winstone. She has created a wonderful card with so much detail. She created a layered background using Bazzill Cardstock as well as Welcome Home pattern paper and distressed the edges of each. She followed this by also inking them with Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Peeled Paint and Walnut Stain). She hand cut different flourish details out of the Welcome Home pattern paper and added them in 3 more layers and adding Stickles glitter glue to the top flourishes. Did you notice that she used the Flourish Fillers 1 stamp set to add even more detail on the background paper? She coloured in a portion of the rounded end of the flourishes using COPIC markers. The butterfly image from the Natural Butterflies 1 set is stunning. To keep the butterfly light yet colourful, she left some white space. Notice how precise her cutting was around the antennae! A little Cinnamon coloured Stickles glitter glue in the bottom right corner adds just an extra touch and helps to ground the card.
The 2nd sample is the card that I created. I used the Bo Bunny Welcome Home collection to create the backgrounds. On the top light brown pattern paper, I stamped the butterfly bush using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Walnut stain. The 3 butterflies were stamped on scrap white cardstock, coloured with COPIC markers and hand cut out. I inked the edges of the pattern papers with Walnut Stain distress ink, border punched the green cardstock with the Martha Stewart border punch. Where the small holes are punched out, I placed dabs of Liquid Pearls White Opal colour. The ribbon at the top of the border is 1/8″ velvet ribbon (antique gold).
COPICs: YG93, YG95, 0 Blender, B05
Pattern Paper: Bo Bunny Welcome Home collection (Picket Fence, Flourish and Porch Swing)
Cardstock: Bazzill
Border Punch: Martha Stewart
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Walnut Stain, Peeled Paint, Broken China)
Stamp sets: Essential Stamps Natural Butterflies 1, Flourish Fillers, and Whimsical Bird(Word)
Other: Stickles, May Arts 1/8″ Velvet ribbon, Liquid Pearls, Foam adhesive
Happy Creating and I hope that you will join in on the Challenge!

NEW Product arrival!
So many goodies have arrived that I’m not sure where to start. But, if you are making your Christmas cards, creating Christmas Projects and Christmas layouts, you are in luck. I have an abundance of Christmas Papers in Stock. The following are the lines I have :
Graphic45′s Christmas Emporium, 
- Kaiser’s December 25th and
- 2 different Christmas lines from BoBunny: Father Christmas and Blitzen.
To go with your Christmas projects, snowflakes are always a nice touch. I have pewter snowflake brads. But what is Christmas and Winter without snow? (OK, we might not get so much snow here in Victoria, but it is definitely a touch that I like to add.) To do this I brought in White Liquid Applique. Squeeze a little here and there on cards, projects and scrapbook layouts then a little blast of heat with a heating tool will make the magic happen. The white liquid will puff up. But don’t stop at snow! If you have an image of a cup of cocoa, put some on the top of the cup, heat and now you have foam or whip cream! Over heat it and it will go a bit brown which is actually burning it. But with the right image, this is a good effect (think smoke coming from a chimney or fireplace maybe).
I always love putting ribbon on projects and May Arts ribbon is a winner with me. Lots of variety and colours. I have an assortment of colours in:
- Grosgrain 3/8″,
- Sheer/Ruffled 1 1/2″,
- Reversible Satin 3/16″,
- double-sided Satin 3/8″,
- and the very popular ribbon strand of leaves in 2 different green colours!
This is the start of my ribbon section.
Gift Giving: Are you stuck on what to give someone special? Kaiser has created 2 great Beyond the Page Projects that would be great for Gift Giving! Give one as a gift on it’s own to a crafting loved-one or decorate it in your own special way and you will have created a lasting gift for someone special. The 2 projects are (see attached pictures):
- 12 Drawer Storage Box
- 25 Drawer Treasure Chest
Other items that have arrived:
- BoBunny’s Forever Fall and Welcome Home collection of papers
- Tim Holtz Distress Inks and refills
- Mod Podge
- Scor-Tape
- Bazzill Cardstock to match Christmas lines
- Also Graphic 45′s ABC Primer paper
Happy Creating!
