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.

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

Then I cut a square of the Engagement paper to fit in the middle.

I cut the image from the Ephemera Cards paper and placed this in the centre of a chipboard frame

Next I used the B side of the Walk with me paper to die cut some leaf shapes.

Then I finished the card with flowers, berries, lace flowers and liquid pearls

I die cut some mini leaves from the 10th of March paper, then fussy cut the butterflies from the 6th of May paper

I also cut a mini tag from the paper called Days to Remember

Finally I added a few flowers, leaves, twine, a resin frame and Hot Chocolate Liquid Pearls
