August inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans.
It's Vera Shelemekh here and I'm happy to share with you some fresh and bright summer inspiration.  I've made a botanic layout with Wanderlust paper and mixed two summer collections in a seaside layout. And for the dessert today are Happy accident chocolate boxes with lace and flowers.

The summer here in Moscow is a bit cold this year, but we had a couple of warm weeks to enjoy the Nature, to wonder with a butterfly net and breathe wonderful floral smells.
For this layout I used Wanderlust - Lakeside as background.

The photo is framed in a frame from Ever After Frame Set covered with avocado embossing powder.

 I decorated the layout with many stamped flowers, Damask Flourishes chipboard covered with lime embossing powder, stamped bugs and butterflies and a sweet owl.

 
"Discover" is the header taken from Wanderlust Words set

July Inspiration by Babi

Hi Everyone,

Today it's my turn to share with you my new projects with the gorgeous Wanderlust and Garden Life Collections.

I used the Petites, Calling Cards and Road Trip paper for my first project, called "Travel".

Then created some texture on the fisrt paper using stencil, modeling paste and departure stamp.

Next, I covered the Seashell chipboard with Avocado and Antique Gold embossing powder.  For the title, I used Wanderlust Words covered in  Antique Gold embossing powder. 

I finished my project with different collections of flowers from Blue Fern Studios. I also added  laces and gesso to create more dimension.

For my second project I decided to create another beach layout called " Explore".  

I created the background by cutting the steering wheel from the Mermaid paper, and gluing  it with foam tape for more dimension. 

Then proceeded to emboss the Seaside Seashells and Seaside Tresures  chipboards with Snow and Oatmetal embossing powder. Afterwards, I heated and painted some of the chipboards with acrilic paint.

The title is from Wanderlust collection and it was covered with Antique Golden embossing.  

I finished the project with flowers, crystals and microbeads.

My last project is a tiny card/album that I made with Garden Life Collection.

I created a 5x5" card and decided to decorate the inside as a mini album.  You can add up to 2 pictures and it is a simple and nice gift.  I choose the Sunrise and Morning Dew papers to decorate the cover and pages. 

Using the beautiful printed chipboards from Garden Life I create the centerpiece.  

I continued by adding some flowers, fussy cut flowers and Checker Bits chipboard covered in Snow embossing powder.
