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!!

March Projects using Love Story by Melinda Thompson

Hi Everyone :)

Another new month so another lot of new projects which I am happy to share with you all!
This month I focused on the Love Story Collection papers.  Love how you can achieve so many looks from the one collection of papers.

Here are my projects. For this layout of our adorable puppy, I have used papers from the Love Story Collection - The Grand Ball, Amazing Heart and Calling Cards.  My chipboard has been treated with Gesso first and highlighted with inks, mists and paints. I just kept adding until I was happy with the effect.

 "Sweet Girl"

I love to layer up my chipboard as well to give lots of depth and texture to my project.  And using negative bits from the packs are awesome if you want to create a confetti look.




Paper Collection: Love Story
Chipboard: Garden Daisies - Large, Negatives from the Broken Rings set, Daisies Collage, Splattered Circles


 My second project I was inspired by the richness of the papers in the Love Story Collection.  The photo in this layout is of my late Grandmother who has been gone 30 years last year.  I was only a 4 years old when she passed away and don't have any memories of her. I love that this photo is of her in her much loved rose garden and I was immediately drawn to the gorgeous floral pieces of chipboard to use in this layout.

 "Forever in our Hearts"

The chipboard pieces are simply painted in some gold acrylic paint and then I randomly added some colour in different places for extra interest.




Paper Collection: Love Story
Chipboard Collection: Dresden Corsage, Gingers Poppies, Eclectic Hearts,


Thanks so much for stopping by today...happy crafting :)
