shape it up card challenge with Marla Kress + Bo Bunny prize

Happy Friday, everyone! Marla here with a really fun shape card challenge. Bo Bunny is sponsoring this challenge and the lucky winner will receive their choice of their newest collection, Key Lime. Have you seen their recent release? SWOON!!!

 

 

Here's the card that I created for this challenge. I've become quite the hoarder of Spellbinders nested dies, so it was a pretty simple card to put together. It's still very easy to use a PageMaps card sketch to make a shaped card, because all that really changes is the outside edge (I know, sounds good, right? LOL)!

Iwpna Palamountain had the same idea and created this beauty:

Several of the talented design team members at Bo Bunny also joined us on this challenge and created these fantastic cards!

Jolanda Meurs:

 

 

Juliana Michaels:

 

 

 

Sam Wright:

 

 

 

So here's how you can have a chance to win some wonderful Bo Bunny: create a card, based on the sketch here, and convert the card to any shape you'd like. This contest starts today and ends at midnight MST on Friday, June 14, 2013. The contest is open to everyone, everywhere!

 

Becky, happy 7th Anniversary!!
