March Blog Sketch Challenge!


Hi BoBunny Fans :)

Today is Sketch Challenge Day!! :)  and we have a real treat for you today!  This months sketch is designed by our very own Lynn Shokoples!!!

March 2016 BoBunny Sketch Challenge by Megan Gourlay for BoBunny using the Soiree Collection & Postale Stamps

I've used the sketch with the lovely new Soiree Collection and the new Postale Stamps to create this layout of my great nephew - isn't he the cutest?!

To give the background a bit of oomph I've roughly painted it with two shades of pearlescents - Butterscotch and Graphite.  I wanted a muted background, enough that you could still see it but not so much that it took over from the design or photo, and pearlescents are perfect for this.

I've used a number of the stamps from the Postale set to create a collage effect behind my papers and embellishments.  I used the  Licorice ink pad but I wanted a more muted color, like grey instead of black because otherwise the stamps would take over the page.  To achieve this I inked my stamp up as usual and then stamped onto a piece of scrap paper, then straight onto my page.

BoBunny packaging is brilliant for using in your projects, it ties in with each range, so its the perfect match!
