Projects by Kotlyarova

Hello, ladies :)
Olga here with you today and this is my first post with projects. I'm very happy to be a part of Blue Fern Studios design team!

I live in Moscow with my husband, little daughter (she's 5 months) and labrador. I'm graphic designer and fall in love with scrapbooking, enjoy working with paper.

I would like to show two layouts to you today. 

I've decorated chipboard pieces with gesso and mist spray

Blooming Foliage

Quatrefoil Panel

And then worked perfectly gesso and stamping here

Cloudy Skies

Thanks for stopping by and lot of inspiration to you. 

Olga.

Black and White

Hi!

I am here to share two new layouts with you. I have used some yummy Blue Fern Studios chipboards. Both layouts are based on black and white with a colour accent. I have altered the chipboards for both layouts in the same way, except for the black swirls.

For my first layout I have used the Organic Vine Corner and the Damask Flourish. I have divided both of them into two pieces. I have also used a heart from the Heart Set. The Damask Flourish pieces are just painted in black acrylic painting. The other pieces are first painted in white, then stamped on with black ink and then covered in glossy accent.

Secondly, I have made this layout using the Blooming Foliage divided into two pieces and one of the Gabrielle Butterflies. All of the Blue Fern Studios chipboards are first painted in white, then stamped on with black ink and then covered in glossy accent.

Do It Your Way With Blue Fern Studios

Hello dear friends!
Svetlana is here today to share with you this month's portion of Blue Fern Studios goodness from me.
I think you already got an idea that BFS chipboard can be used in any type of projects created in any style you want it to be. Here is just another couple of examples of it.
My first project is a bright and colorful layout. I was inspired by the "adorable" sentiment from Good Vibes pack.
To me "adorable" most of the time has something to do with a baby.
After deciding on this sentiment for the title of my project I pulled out this adorable photo of my then very small baby-boy and the creative process began! :-)

I roughly applied red acrylic pain with a dabber to Country Picket Fence chipboard. 

I left some areas raw to give it more authentic county feel. 

Once the paint was dry I stamped with wood grain stamp all over the fence.

I also used acrylic craft paint to cover the title piece. First I applied the white paint with a dabber.
Once dry I added blue paint over it leaving some areas white.

Good Vibes

My next project is a romantic mixed media canvas.
I used a lot of layers of different mediums to create the background and to decorate mt chipboard.

I already used some parts from this Blooming Foliage piece for my another project and I still had a pretty big piece left so I used it here. 

To decorate it I applied a few layers of different mediums. 

I began with some gesso. I covered my chipboard very roughly leaving some areas raw. 

Then a dabbed it with bright green acrylic paint. 

Again it was done a a rough way to leave some areas uncovered. 

I followed with blue liquid pearls. I would squeeze a little at some spots and rub it with my fingers. 

Liquid pearls are great for adding some color and shimmer as well. 

A few drops of pick liquid pearls here and there finished my chipboard piece off pretty well.

The Sweetheart Dressform was first covered with gesso. 

I really like the idea of letting some raw chipboard picking through all the paint.

Once it was dry I stamped all over with some pretty script stamp. 

I followed with a little bit of distress inks here and there and a little rub of blue liquid pearls.

I finished it off with a layer of transparent crackle paint.

Blue Fern Chipboards In Three Different Scrapping Styles...

One of my most favorite product for scrapbooking/ mixed media projects is laser cut chipboard, to be more specific... Blue Fern Studios Laser Cut Chipboards! Why you ask me? It's because they come up with a wide wide wide range of designs to choose from which can easily fit any scrapbooking style.

Let me show you three layouts I made in three different styles, all using chipboards from Blue Fern Studios...

1. My most loved style - shabby chic and feminine...

(Brigitte Butterfly Set) 

 (A Moment In Time)

 (Blooming Foliage)

2. Bright and Fun...

(Picture Perfect)

(Urban Acronyms)

3. Masculine/ Boy page...

     (Large Spring Iris)

It just goes well with any scrapping style! I just love it all! It certainly adds that finishing touch to any page. Hope you all have a crafty week ahead of you! Thanks for your visit!

Hugs,

Iris

3 Different Ways With Blue Fern by Svetlana Austin

Hello dear friends! 

Svetlana is here today to share with you a few different projects I created this month 

with Blue Fern Studios gorgeous chipboard.

I will begin with a little romantic frame I altered using some pretty chipboard pieces.

"Home Is Where The Heart Is" Altered Frame

The Princes Window I used for this project acts here rather as a door and it can actually open. I used little metal hinges to attache my window-door to the frame.

I used a sponge brush to apply gesso over my chipboard pieces. It is a very simple way to add some textured shabby look. Then I randomly added a few drops of glossy here and there and sprinkled it over with micro-beads. Once it was dry I rubbed a little gesso over the beads.

Country Picket Fence (074561)

"Beautiful St. Petersburg" layout

For this layout I used Village Sign Post and Ornate Medallions.

The Village Sign Post did a great job highlighting that beautiful cathedral in the background of my photo.

I covered it with black distress embossing powder. I love the uneven shiny look it gave to my chipboard - 

it looks so real.

Little beautiful pieces of chipboard from Ornate Medallions set are defiantly among my favorites. 

They are perfect to create some pretty embellishments to decorate your projects. 

I used orange glimmer mist to color this medallion. Once it was dry I covered it with crackle accents. 

You see - very simple ways to make your chipboard look perfect for any kind of projects you have in mind!

Decorated Drawer Unit

It have been already a while that I wanted to decorate this drawer unit to use it in my craft studio to store some bits and pieces. 

I cut the small Craftsman Frame to make decorative corners. These were sprayed with glimmer mist and covered with Crackle Accents for nice antique look.

Blooming Foliage was also cut in many small pieces to create pretty accents in the flower clusters I added to some of the drawers. I painted them with gesso then rubbed some areas with green ink and some areas with blue liquid pearls. I finished it off with Glossy Accents. I decorated the butterfly in the same way.
