Blue Fern Studios August Layouts

Hi all, today I have two layouts to share with you.

Beach Babe

My first layout is using the gorgeous new Seaside Cottage collection. This collection is PERFECT for all your beach photos!!!

I chose the Embark paper for my background and placed my photo so the sand matched up to the beige half of the paper. I added a little interest to my back ground with the Forever and Essential Texture stamps. 

On the Seaside Lantern chipboard I first covered it with white crackle paste, then I coloured it with blue spray and inked the edges with brown ink.

To the Seaside Flourish chipboard piece I gave it texture with white sand paste before I coloured it with beige spray and brown ink.

On my title Beach Babe I used a mix of embossing powders in Bonny Blue, Breeze, Oatmeal and Snow to colour it

To embellish I used gorgeous flowers from the Seaside Lillies and Tranquil Roses and Lillies packs along with some real seashells and starfish.

Hi Blue Fern Fans, today I have three projects made with the new Attic Charm Collection.

This collection is filled with the most gorgeous papers and pastel colours.

I started by tearing the Curio paper and layering it onto the Sachet paper.

I then added some stamping with brown ink and the Serendipity Medley & Forever stamps before I added some texture paste through a stencil.

I treated the brick pieces out of the Shabby Brick bits with white crackle paste before I coloured them with a brown mist.

To colour the Roman Clock and Stillness title I used a mix of the Ginger, Oatmeal & Mushroom embossing powders.

I finished off the layout with some Tranquil Blooms & Tranquil Roses and Lilies mixed with a few extra flowers.

May shares for Blue Fern Studios

Hi there, today I have my May projects for Blue Fern Studios.

Beach Wedding Canvas

First up I have a canvas I made as a belated wedding gift for a friend

I began by covering the canvas with the new Tranquillity Collection papers: Serenity and Jubilation. I then used what was left over from these papers to make a photo mat.  

I distressed the edges of all the papers and I added modeling paste with a stencil to the background of the canvas.

I used the Persian Ornament Chipboard piece to go under the photo, I coloured this with the Mushroom Embossing Powder.

For the title Love Always I used two different embossing powders in Snow and Seven Seas.

To finish off I embellished this canvas with some of the gorgeous new Blue Fern flowers. I used Courtship Blooms, Courtship Roses and Tranquil Roses and Lilies.

Papers: Tranquillity Collection -  Serenity and Jubilation

Mini Beach Shadow Box

My next Project is a mini shadow box made with the Tranquillity Collection

I used the Tranquillity paper Jubilation to line the squares inside the box as well as the outside edges and bottom of the box.

Then I used the Seven Seas Embossing powder to colour the top surfaces of the box.

I filled the mini bottles with the Gulf Coast and Blue Ice Glitters

I coated all the Seaside Seashells chipboard pieces with white sand texture paste, and when this was dry I rubbed a little distress ink over the surfaces.

I finished with off with a few real sea shells and Courtship Blooms, Courtship Roses and Tranquil Roses and Lilies.

The Future Belongs to Those who Believe on the Beauty of Their Dreams

And finally today I have a layout to share which I made with the Serendipity collection

I used the Serendipity Fascination paper as my background for this layout, I added some mists and texture pastes for colour and interest. Then I used the Serendipity papers Glee and Calling cards to make a photo mat.

I used the whole Natural Sprigs Set pack and covered all the pieces with white crackle paste. When the paste was dry I coloured them with a green mist and brown distress ink.

To colour the Folkart Frame I used Liquid Pearls in Bisque

For my title I cut one to the calling cards up and spread the words over my page
