Karolina's February Projects

Hi everyone!
It's Karolina here. Today I would like to show you my three February projects. I created two layouts and a frame using the newest collection from Blue Fern Studios - Serendipity. These collection is absolutely stunning and I'm totally in love ;) Using my projects I tried to show you how this collection is incredibly versatile and universal.

"Believe in your selfie"

My first project is a frame with a positive message. I used papers from Serendipity collection and one of the newest chipboard pieces - selfie square. I added also some background chipboards, because I really like when such elements stick out from my composition. It makes my composition reacher and the effect is realy nice, don't you think? 

I covered chipboards pieces using three different embossing powders in maching colors.

A selfie square chipboard I covered using acrylic ink in the white color - while the ink was still wet I added a lot of transparent glitter to make my frame more shiny. 

You can also find a gliiter in several colors on a frame. It's great idea to add some glitter accents on our background.

"Memories Captured"

My second project is a layout in shabby chic style. If you are wondering who is this little girl in the picture, it's me. I think I was 2.

I used papers from Serendipity collection of course and beautiful sentence "Memories Captured" chipboard. In the background you can see texture pieces.

I covered chipboards using white embossing powder and then I add some ink and colors.

I added a glitter in several spots to make my project more sparkle.

In the background you can also find some stamps.

"Blooming Beauty"

My last project is also a layout, this time in retro style. In the picture you can see one of my best friend. Retro style matching perfect to this photo I think.

As I said, papers from Serendipity collection are not only absolutly stunning, but very universal too. You can make a spring project like my frame, very delicate and shabby projects like my first layout and also some projects in retro style.

This time I covered a chipboard Blooming Beauty using black embossing powder, to add some strong contrast to my project.

I used a cooper embossing powder to create a vintage look of frame and then I put it under my photo as a part of my composition.

Two more layouts by Wilma with the beautiful Autumn Anthology collection .

                            For my first layout we have to go back in time ........ 40 years !
                             I used the original picture of young me, I become vintage :)
                     The background paper is one of the Autumn Anthology collection, Gazebo
                           To create more interest I use the circuitry chipboard as my mask.
                                   I had to spray it anyway with gesso for another layout.
                  So now I had a white chipboard piece and textured background at the same time.
                                                                             

                                           Behind the picture I used the Wild Flourish frame .
                                               And one bird from the Little Birds set.
              All I did was adding some thin gelmedium to keep the original natural chipboard color.

I cut a few paper flowers from another paper out of the collection.

Glued it behind my flower.

********

My next layout , also made with the Autumn Anthology collection.

The picture is about 25 years old, bad quality .

But thats what we had than....and we should just use them on our layouts.

For the background paper I used the Parfumerie paper.

I toned down with gesso, leaving out some of the beautiful background pattern.

I pushed  a embossingfolder in the wet gesso to get the checkered texture.

Than I colored the background with 3 of the new mists:

Persimmon , Leaf and Jingle bells .

The chipboard ( checker bits ) was inked up with a chipboard kind of color .

Than I embossed here and there with one of the new embossingpowders : petal

To tone down,  again some mixed media ink.

New are the glitters and embossingpowders at Blue fern Studios.

Just when I was finishing this layout my package arrived !

So I added some on my flower.

A little glitter never hurts :)

I used the Pyrite , a beautiful goldtone.

Thank you for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog.

Have a great week

Three projects, three collections by Marie-Josée

Hello all,

I hope you are all doing fine. School is almost out (well, here in Canada), and summer is just around the corner. Here are a few projects for you!

Box + easel card

I created this gift box with an easel card on top with the Déjà Vu paper collection. I used two different papers: Friperies for the box, and Un voyage à Paris for the card.

I altered one of the butterflies from the Brigitte Butterfly Set with white gesso and purple mist.

I also used a piece of the Country Picket Fence, altered with white gesso:

"Delight" layout

For this layout, I used a paper from the Blue Fern Garden paper collection, the first released by Blue Fern.

I glued the Checker Bits chipboard pieces to my background and added white gesso on top with a sponge.

I also altered a piece of the Postage Frames chipboard set with white gesso. The word Delight from the Delight set was altered with Gelatos. I just used the Gelatos on the bare chipboard and with my finger and a bit of water, I applied the color all over.

"Memories Captured" layout

This layout was created with the Ombré Dreams paper collection. The paper I used is Julianna's Dream.

 I used the Crosshatch Frame under my photo. I didn't alter it.

I also used the Memories Captured chipboard from the Captured Words set. This piece was also used as is, without any medium.

April Projects by Galina Sazonova.

Hello friends!)

I really love to use black color in my works. And today I want to show you two projects on the basis of paper from the collection of Sanctuary and of black color.)

1. "This Moment".

My first project about of  wonderful moments in Tuscany.)

I used background chipboard "Shabby Brick Panel" and stamps to accentuate the texture and color of of old walls ....

Chipboard was painted with red spray and covered by glossy accent ....

 ....This created the volume effect. 

And a little more details) .....

 2. Card-motivator "Love".

My second project is about waiting of the summer ....

Despite the fact that there are many black, but the card, seems to me, looks very optimistic.)

  Smell the flowers, the birds singing, greens around, coolness of water ..... what could be better?))

 I used my favorite miniature  chipboard "Checker Bits"....

 .... and  paper from the collection Sanctuary. Chipboard was painting with spray of several shades.

Here such dreams of summer) ....
