October Inspirations by Catherine Giguère

Hello Blue Fern Studios Fans!  

Here's my turn to share with you three new layouts. This month, I had so much fun with the gorgeous Homespun paper collection. 

'Formidable'

For this layout, I used the Homespun 'Homegrown' paper as background. I put a coat of clear gesso on it and I added texture by applying modeling paste through a stencil. Then, I applied green and blue inks and I stamped many details with BFS stamps and brown ink.

I embossed my chipboards (except the title)  with BFS Imagine Ink embossing powder 'Antique Gold'.

I add many blue flowers on the left and the right of my picture.

I embossed my title 'Incroyable' with BFS Imagine Ink embossing powder 'In the Navy'.
