Getting Festive for the Fourth!


Hi There BoBunny Fans :)

With tomorrow being July 4th I thought I would share with you some party decor using the Firecracker collection!

I've created my table decor using the red white and blue papers from the collection - double pinwheels, wooden letters and stars, and an altered spool, with some red and white lollies :)

I've made my pinwheels with a 6x6" piece of paper for the base and the top pinwheel being 4x4" before finishing them off with using some of the layered chipboard pieces.

You can see how dimensional they are from this side view.

The letters and stars are MDF - I've painted the sides and layered paper over top, then inked the edges with the Blueberry ink pad.  On the stars I was thinking I would be clever and paint them all over with glitter paste.  It worked well with Sugar glitter paste, but I got a bit carried away on the Ruby Red paste, making it too thick and it buckled my paper :(  so the moral of that story is less is more!

I get quite a lot questions about glitter paste, particularly the Ruby Red, because it looks purple in the pot but as you can see it really is red :)

My little spool is made from a toilet roll.  I've decorated it with a mixture of layered chipboard, blossoms, ribbon, brads, and some die cutting.

This is my last BoBunny blogpost, after 3 amazing years.  I can't say enough how much I have enjoyed creating with BoBunny and being a part of such an amazingly supportive group of ladies.  I'm going to miss being on this team but its time to let someone else experience the wonder that is the BoBunny DT.  Good luck to those of you waiting to hear about the final selection!

To my fellow DT girls - thank you for all your encouragement and support, you are amazing!

Happy 4th of July!
