I made this card for our card club challenge. We were given a sheet of Bo Bunny Primrose paper and told to make something pretty! I used some other papers in the same collection, and did a bit of fussy cutting too. I added some ribbon that I found in the bottom of my ribbon drawer which matched perfectly with this paper ( see if you keep things long enough sooner or later you find a use for them!), and added a few rhinestones to finish.Til tomorrow….

Bo Bunny Primrose number 3
Bo Bunny Primrose paper collection. In the same collection are packs of ATC sized cards. I have used one here, on top of a piece of patterned paper. I used some of the papers I had fussy cut in the lower right hand corner, and a fussy cut butterfly with a swirl of prima pearls underneath it. Just added a ribbon bow and done! I spent this afternoon setting up a village lesson , so all lessons sorted for a little while at least! Now to do some crafting for me! Til tomorrow….

Bo Bunny Primrose number 1
Today we start a new series – Bo bunny primrose. I love the soft muted pastel, but thoroughly modern designs of this paper and have made quite a few cards with this collection already.for this one I fussy cut some of the paper around the circle design,and layered other paper onto pink cardstock. I fussy cut the sheet of butterflies, and they feature on most of the cards in this series. Just added a ribbon bow and kindyglitz to finish. Today I have spent a great deal of time working on a new card shape, but I think I have finally worked out all the kinks – not sure if it will be a lesson at some future date yet – may have to practise it a few times myself! Til tomorrow…
