My layout for October by Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

I'm back with my three layout for October.  The first two are with the Seaside Cottage, I just wanted to keep summer here a little longer.  My last one is more seasonal with the fall color palette.

Mommy's Boy

My first layout is featuring my baby boy...and me!  It's not often that i use a picture of me on one of my project but I really like this one. For this layout, i use less medium as usual.

On the chipboard of the title, I apply a coat of gesso and add blue spray ink. For the squares, i just apply gesso.

July share from Karine

Hi there, Blue Fern Studios fans,

It's Karine here with you today to share the three layouts I created this month.

Happy

My first layout was created using the Hushed paper from the Tranquility collection. I based my color combo on the colors in the paper. I stamped a few times with the Making Plans stamp.

My layout is based on the Crosshatch frame that I embossed with Imagine Ink auburn and garnet embossing powders. 

To add more interest around my picture, I used the Ironwork Edges, that I embossed with a dark brown embossing powder. 

As for embellishments, I used some Courtship Blooms dans some Attic Charm Daisies. 

My title, the Happy word from The Optimist Word Set, was left raw.

Next, I got to play with the beautiful Seaside Cottage collection. For this layout, I used the Mermaid paper. I altered it with two different stencils and with two texture paste: one white, one a gorgeous sandy color. I also used a blue ink spray.

I choose the Persian Ornament to go under my picture. I embossed it with Imagine Ink snow embossing powder.

To go over my picture, I chose the oval frame from the Mini Frames set, which I embossed also using the snow embossing powder. 

I used some of the Tranquil Roses and Lilies in my flower arrangements. 

My title piece, part of the Funny, Giggle, Smile set, was embossed in snow. Look at this close up on the paper. Isn't it just gorgeous?

My last layout uses the Regalia paper again from the Seaside Cottage collection. I just loooooove this paper! On my background, I used the Postal Textures stamps.

On the left side of the layout, I used the Royal Border, which I painted with an aqua metallic paint. While the paint was still wet, I sprinkled some Imagine Ink pearl embossing powder and heat set it. I love the end result. I also used a speech bubble with a heart (I hid the tail of the speech bubble under my flowers) from the Picture Perfect set. It was given the same treatment as the Royal Border.

To frame my main composition, I cut one of the Classic Ornaments in half and used both pieces (painted and embossed) around my flowers.

I used flowers from the Seaside Lilies, Tranquil Blooms and Tranquil Roses and Lilies. The little heart shape above the large mint flower comes from the heart speech bubble from the Picture Perfect set. 

My title is part of the French Adjectives 2 set. It was coated with white gesso, and then painted with cream ink.

My layouts for May by Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

I'm here today to present you my 3 layout for May!  I had fun playing with the brand new Tranquility Collection.   I love it!  One of my Blue Fern Studios all time favorite!

Memories Captured:

On this layout, you can see my oldest daughter Delphine.  The picture was taken last year in Monaco.  We had the chance to spend two weak in southern France.  What a beautiful family vacation! The French Riviera is  simply stunning!

To create my layout, i use the Calm paper from the Tranquility  collection. I love the flowers on the side! I use two sheets of this paper: one for my base and the other to put under my picture.

On my background, I use three différents stamp set:  Wallflower, Serendipity medley and Garden Frolic.  To embellish my layout, i add some Blue Fern Studios flowers from the Tranquility collection and from the courtship lane collection. Just add some navy blue ones from my stash.

For the frames ( Ever after frame set) , I first emboss them with Imagine Ink In the navy embossing powder.   Then, I add a touch of the Imagine Ink  Seven seas embossing powder.  Finally, i reheat the powder and i sprinkle some Imagine Ink Nutmeg  embossing powder.

For my title (Captured words), i coat my chipboard with white heavy gesso.  Once the gesso dry, I apply the same watercolours that I use for my background.  Finally, I distress it with with heavy gesso.

Again, I play with the Tranquility collection.  It's fun that we can achieve to completely different feeling with the same collection!

I begging with the Hushes paper from the Tranquility collection.  On my bcacgroung, I stamped with the wallflowers stamp and emboss it with the Imagine Ink fuchsia embossing powder.  Then I use the Serendipity stamp and the Imagine ink tangerine embossing powder.

Underneath my picture, I use the Dangle border.  I prep it with gesso and use the same sprays ink that i use for my background. The title came from the Frech Adjective 2 set.  The font is just amazing!  Love this set.
