Hello Blue Fern Studios Fans!  Here's my turn to share my April projects with you. This month, I  worked with the Spring Parade collection and with the Courtship Lane collection.

Bonheur

For my first layout, I used 'Marketplace' paper from the BFS Spring Parade collection. I did a textured background with stencil, modeling paste, BFS 'Tattered Newspaper' and 'Essential Textures Stamps', art stones and different inks (blue, violet and yellow).

I embossed my chipboards 'Folkart Frame' and 'Organic Vine Corner' with BFS Imagine Ink 'Antique Gold'. 

I embossed my title (Bonheur) with  BFS Imagine Ink 'Amethyst'.

I cut the 'Organic Vine Corner' in half to put the pieces under my flowers. Then, I add a lot of BFS flowers.
