July Inspirations by Catherine Giguère

Hello Blue Fern Studios Fans!  

Here's my turn to share with you three new layouts. This month, I played with the gorgeous Garden Life and Happy Accident paper collections. 

"Sweet"

For this layout, I first put a coat of clear gesso on my paper. Then, I put modeling paste through a flower stencil. I used yellow inks to do my background to make a contrast with the blue of the paper. I used a brush and makes drops of ink on my paper. I stamped my background with brown ink.

I used the BFS Imagine Ink 'Ginger' to embossed the Circle Vine chipboard. I put my frame horizontally over my picture. 

I embossed my title in blue with BFS Imagine Ink 'Stormy Skies'.

I glued many flowers to embellish my layout.

I embossed the title and the Wild Flourish Frame with BFS Imagine Ink 'Ginger'. I cut the Wild Flourish Frame chipboard in half and glued it under my picture to make only appear the flourish.
