Designer Showcase- Debbie Sherman!

It's Wednesday and that means another Designer Showcase! I have loved getting to know these designer's style through their projects. As you can see each one of the Bo Bunny designers has a unique style that is just awesome! Today's designer Debbie Sherman is no exception. I can always pick out her layouts by her fun bright designs and her use of flowers. She always has flowers some where on her projects and I love that! I just LOVE all her work really!

Today she has a layout to share using the new "Hello Sunshine" line and here is what she has to say about it:

This project has to be one of my favorites! It's bright and so summery! The colors are perfect for a fun day at the playground!


The new Hello Sunshine collection really fit this photo perfectly! A day at the colors in the photo helped me choose this collection.


The flower embellishments were made using packaging and a favorite flower and leaf die, I simply die cut the plastic and colored with ink and heated them up to shape. I cut out the honeycomb shapes from the various patterned papers and then popped them up with foam squares, and added Hello Sunshine chipboard to give the layout dimension.



As Final touches I added flourishes and butterflies to give the layout some movement.

Technique Tuesday

It's Technique Tuesday here at Bo Bunny!  It is an opportunity for the design team to tell you about some techniques that we use and to give some tips for how we do it.  This Tuesday, we have made some layouts that show distressing.  From working with other scrappers, I know that everyone seems to have their own favorite way for distressing.  Here a a couple of examples from Robbie and Tomoko.

Welcome Home

by Robbie Herring

This was made using the brand new Little Miss Collection.   I like to just use the edge of my scissors to distress the edges of my paper and then add a couple of strategically placed tears.  The great thing about distressing is that if you accidentally tear your paper while distressing, you can just ink it up and act like you planned it!  I prefer the Cat's Eye Chalk Ink in Chestnut Roan for my inking on distressed pages.

 The flowers and doilies were also lightly inked and then sprayed with Glimmer Mist.  I prefer the Wheatfields color to give a light antiqued look.

I also sprayed the ribbon and the fabric flower with the Wheatfield Glimmer Mist.

Tomoko Takahashi

Tomoko added lots of distressing to her layout.  There are tears, inking and lots of texture used to give here layout this lovely look.  Tomoko also used the Little Miss Collection for her layout and came up with a completely different look!

You can see the cutting and inking that she used here.  Notice that there are lots of layers.

Take a look at this next picture to see all the extra texture that she has added to her layout.  You can also see that there is glaze added tothe alphabet.  Many paint dots add such a special touch to Tomoko's work.
