My February projects by Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello ladies,

It's Marie-Eve Bernard. I'm here to present you my projects for February. This month, I had fun with the beautiful and girly Blush Collection.

Smile

For my title, I use the Smile chipboard from the Laughter, Happy, Smile set. I paint it with white Gesso and I emboss it with the Imagine Ink Cotton Candy powder.

Under my picture, I use the Damask Flourish chipboard. It come in set of two pieces. I emboss it with the Imagine Ink Fern embossing powder. I use the Vintage Edges Stamps in my background.

In my flowers cluster, I had the Layering Stems chipboards set. I simply paint them with White Gesso.

For my title, i use the Cherish chipboard from the Adore, Love, Cherish set. I paint it with gesso and use spray ink to color it.

For my frame (from the Memory Frames set) and my chipboard flowers (for the Bohemian Flowers set), It all begins with a coat of White Gesso. Then I use a pink gelato to give some color. Finally, I distress the edges with a dark brown ink.

Two Inspirational Canvases- By Keren Tamir

Hi Everyone,

Its Keren here and I'm really happy to be back once again on the Blue Fern Studios Design Team for another year.

I'm so grateful for this opportunity and I'm looking forward to creating alongside many talented designers.

Here is a little bit about myself:

My name is Keren Tamir, I live in Canada and I’ve been scrapbooking for 13 years.

I love to create and experiment with many different mediums and techniques. My style is always evolving and that’s one of the things I love about this art.

One of the main reasons I started scrapbooking was to preserve memories and photos for my children. However, over the past couple of years, I’ve diverted myself into the mixed media world and love combining them both together. I’ve developed my own mixed media style, which I love sharing with my students. I love to create and I’m passionate about what I do and that’s why I love to teach techniques of mixed media and art.

I’m delighted to join Blue Fern Studios Design team for a third year. To see more of my art please visit my blog at: http://kerentamir.blogspot.ca

I hope you enjoy my creations!!

<<<<<>>>>>

I've created two 6x12 canvases today.

Both used the Ombré Dreams- Ginger's dream for the background. I cut the paper in half and used each half for one of the canvases.

Here is my first project:

"Dream"

The flowers petals are made out of canvas and were first sprayed with Imagine Ink Winter green, then shaded with other greens and yellows.

The centre was created by layering one radiant burst chipboard, one bohemian flower chipboard and one paper flower.

The stem was created using the Arching leaves chipboard which were painted in lime green acrylic paint and then stamped with the textured circles stamp. I also used the brick pattern from the Essencial textures stamp aroung the edges.

Finally I used the Dream chipboard for the title.

<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>

My Second Canvas today is titled:

"Love"

For this canvas I used the Shabby brick bits and the daisies collage chipboard pieces. They were painted with lime green and teal acrylic paints.

I cut out a couple of pieces from the Ombré Dreams- Dream cards paper as a background for the Daisies collage.

Then I painted the Love chipboard title in black and added it over the centre piece.

I used the Textured Circles stamp to create some music note's pattern in the background.

I also used the Imagine Ink winter green spray toad some colour drips under the main image.

Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog,

Have a wonderful day!!

Frolic inspiration from Elena Morgun

Hello friends!

The weekend is around the corner. And I would like to inspire you with some new projects. Today I have prepared a layout with a video tutorial and ATC set.

This layout I created for a friend as a present. Her son's photo was my main inspiration. I decided to create layers with the help of chipboards. I painted them with Silks this time. I love the color transitions I got here. The layout turned out very shiny.

I enjoy creating ATCs and swapping them. They are quite fast to make, but that doesn't make them less beautiful. Here is my recipe for today: stamp the background, add some elements such as papers, chipboards, butterflies and finish with adding some watercolors. Enjoy your creations!

July Inspiration with Jelissa

Hello Blue Fern fans! How has your month of July been? The weather has been blazing hot and we're doing whatever we can to cool down.

It's my turn on the Blue Fern blog today and I have two creations to share with you. The first is based on the fabulous July sketch. Here is what it looks like:

I've kept the orientation of the sketch, as well as the dark background and my papers came from a mix of Sanctuary and Love Story to create my layout.

My mixed media background was created Birdsong Melody from Sanctuary, with a lot of paint dabbing and layering with watercolors, as well as textural details using microspheres, dew drops and microbeads, as well as some string and stamping. I love it that Blue Fern tries in sneak in a few dark colored patterned papers into their collections for us to create our very own backgrounds.

Some close-ups:

The La Plume chipboard which I first painted with a light brown, followed by UTEE embossing for resist and layering with more browns. Beneath are paper layers made from scraps I had left over from Love Story collection.

The Notebook Edges chipboard, which I first heat embossed and then colored with different shades of blue. To add texture to my layers, I mixed chipboard, paper, lace and trims.

A close-up of some of the textural details I have in my background.

I hope my sample has inspired you to create a project of your own to participate in our monthly sketch challenge!

Blue Fern Studios products used:

Sanctuary collection - Melody Birdsong

Love Story collection - Concerto, Sweet Song, True Harmony

Notebook Edges

La Plume

And now for my video tutorial. For this project, I revisited one of my all time favourites from Blue Fern Studios, the Ombre Dreams collection.

I used only "Susan's Dream" because the images on the paper fit my composition perfectly and had the exact type of watercolor imagery I had in mind to create for my background. I also used scraps from Dream Cards and Charlotte's Dream to build up my layers.

Some close-ups:

A die cut from Dream Cards which I used as my title, and a Bohemian flower piece tucked into my cluster. You can also see the half-tone stamp which I used to add minute details to my background.

I love the big chipboard pieces because they are simply value for money and so fun to play with. Here, you see Medley Border which I have cut up into four pieces and tucked them everywhere to maintain the flow of my composition, as well as to break up the monotony of paper layering.
