Love Lives Here

Hi there Blue Fern Studios Fans! I'm very proud and honored to be part of the Blue Fern Studios International DT! Thank you so very much Leslie for inviting me to join this uber creative team of designers and to have the opportunity to create using your awesome chipboard products!

Here's a little bit about me: My name is Mona Pendleton, I live in Phoenix, AZ USA with my sweet and supportive husband Scott. We have a blended family which consists of 4 children, (2 young adults and 2 teen agers) along with 2 West Highland Terriers.

I work as an Operating Room Registered Nurse in an Orthopedic Hospital and create in my spare time. I've been dabbling in some sort of craft for years. I started out sewing dresses for my daughter over 20 years ago then began exploring painting, scrapbooking and card making. I'm not sure what my style is as I love to try everything and anything. I do love lots of layers, textures and embellishments whether it's on a canvas, card, tag, art journal or layout.

You can find more of my work on my blog: Cupcake's Creations

Today I have a mixed media canvas to share featuring several beautiful Blue Fern Studios chipboard pieces.

I painted and added a coat of distress crackle paint to one of the pretty butterflies from the Brigitte Butterfly Set. 

 I framed my sweet furry friend Griffin with a beautiful Tuscan Window. I first painted the window using Gesso, once dry applied a coat of Distress crackle paint.

 To add a pretty metallic finish to the two Blooming Flourishes and Royal Border, I first painted with a coat of Gesso then applied a coat of embossing enamel.
