BoBunny 2nd round DT call submission

Sorry Italian friends, this post in in English only

I am very honored to be one of the candidates for the 2nd round of BoBunny DT call, and today I show you the projects I made for it.

We all received a different package of products to work with: I received a lot of mixed media products, stencil, foil, chipboard, stamps, dies and Take a Hike collection.

They asked for a blogpost and a video tutorial, so... these are my projects:

Blogpost

(I chose the "one layout, three ways" series and made a blogpost as if it should be published on BoBunny's blog)

Hi BoBunny fans! Welcome to another post of one layout, three ways.
It’s Giorgia here with a layout using the new fabulous collection “Take a Hike”: this is one of my new favourites from BoBunny, a lovely outdoor themed collection that features earth tones and amazing prints.
I'll be sharing the three stages my layout went through before I felt it was complete. I love to add more and more embellishments on my projects but some of you may prefer clean & simple layouts, so I will show you three different styles.

Nestled in the trees by Giorgia Rossini 

First stage: I horizontally layered two stripes of patterned papers on top and bottom of the background paper. I distressed them with scissors blade to create texture - I will distress all the paper in this project - I love the rustic feeling of distressed paper, just perfect with my forest picture! I mat the photo and glue it down in the middle of the page. Now I cut stripes of papers, distressed them and adhered them as shown (I think the vertical orientation gives the ideas of a series of trees!) I created the title using a layered chipboard and I added an arrow on the bottom of my picture. 

Second stage: I added two more arrows (repetition of the same element is a composition rule that always works to create balanced and eye-catching layouts) and a group of three different embellishments: BoBunny button, brad and chipboard. I love them!

The layout is already great at this point but I wanted to add even more details, so I created two clusters on up right and bottom left corner. Finally I get the result that I wanted!

I hope you will find this layout inspiring and that you will have fun playing. Thank you so much for looking, I wish you a great day!
Ciao, Giorgia

They asked for versatility, so... I used "Take a Hike" collection in a very different way: I created a beach themed project!
As soon as I saw the yellow paper and the fish paper in the collection and the stencil I received in my package ("under the sea" stickable stencil) I had this idea: thinking outside the box and try to make something different! Maybe I am a little bit crazy LOL. This is my final result: I made a mixed media layout using BoBunny amazing stencil, gesso, paste, foil transfer, glimmer sprays and pearlescent.
