BeBunni galore

Good morning blogging friends..

Thought I would try get an early post in today before the boys wake up.. Only few weeks left of the school hols and we are still enjoying the late starts :-)

I have quite a few cards made using the fantastic BeBunni range... (Hope you got a cuppa ready, this may take a while lol) 

I love these super cute images and the CDs are just wonderful to work with... 

So here goes the first one 
Made using the BABY CD rom, I printed two backing papers and this adorable topper layered onto metallic silver card stock and attached to the card blank.  I embellished with lace, ribbon, pearls and buttons from my stash, and printed the sentiment from the computer.
The large white flower was from a candy win (thanks Marianne) x and the smaller flowers I punched using some of my old punches and added gems to the centre..

Challenges


The second card is one of my favs, just love this colour combo

For this one I used the LOVE CD.. Embellished with gorgeous red checked ribbon from my stash.
Large docrafts flower blooms that I added some punched hearts to.. Heart gems and a sentiment tag I printed from the computer and hand cut,.

Challenges


And the third card

For This one I used the LOVE CD again to print the image but used some Papermania papers from my stash.. I printed the sentiments on the computer and embellished using lace, ribbon and black pearl hearts from my stash..

Challenges
(Lace because it gives a luxury textured feel to a card and a ribbon bow because again it gives the card some texture and fills a empty corner)



Wow, hope you are still here lol and if you are I hope you liked my Bebunni creations.
Thanks for stopping by my but of blog land today too and for any comments you leave. 

I have noticed I am having lots of page views but only an handful of comments, hope my posts are not boring.. Any feedback for improvement would be much appreciate

A few cars

Good evening everyone..

Hope you are all well... 

I have been asked to make a thank you card with a truck on it.. After searching for quite a while for a suitable image I remembered some digi images from Crafty ribbons that I have...

I printed the coloured image and layered onto nesti panels.
Embossed white card stock using clouds embossilious die.
I wrapped the matching ribbon around the navy panel at the bottom

After making this card I thought I would make a few more for birthdays too...

I used the same layout and embossing for all. I just changed the sentiment and position on each one.




I would like to enter these into the following challenges

Thanks for stopping by.
