Three Layouts by Kelly Foster

Hello Blue Fern fans - Kelly here.

Today I have three  layouts to share...so I will just get right to it!

"You Are So Fun"

For this layout, I have followed the sketch for this month's challenge...I hope you will play along, too! (Find the link in the right sidebar.)

Below you can see a section of the Renaissance Border, and the word "You" from the Valentine's Word Set. These both were dabbed lightly with gesso, then painted with various colors of water color paint. Once they were dry, I dabbed around the edges randomly with a green chalk ink.

Below is a section of the Twiggy Branch, which was left mostly bare, with just a touch of  green chalk ink.

Below are the other bits of the Renaissance Border and Twiggy Branch, and bottom left I have used one of the Nifty Tags and Tickets to ground my title. I placed one of the adorable little Vintage Keys below that.

"Good Vibes"

I used a wide variety of chippies on this one, too...I just really had fun with this page, for the photo that I love so much. First up, the title...this was simply embossed with a white detail embossing powder..I just adore the font for the Good Vibes set, so fun!

Below..one of the Circle Motifs..painted with a shimmery pearl acrylic paint,  a few dots of gold paint for the flower centers, then the leaves were colored with a green watercolor pencil. A touch of stamping with a script stamp was done on top of that.

Up next...Garden Daisies (Large), I applied the same technique as I did the flowers on the Circle Motif, but to top them off I painted on just a bit of a textured medium. The stem was misted with a shimmery green mist.

"Smile"

Another "summer" page. This one is loaded up with bits and pieces of chipboard..see if you can spot them all! Below you will find one of the Nifty Tags and Tickets, which was stamped lightly with green and teal ink. Also, you can see the end of the Calligraphic Border, which was painted with a gold acrylic glaze, then dabbed with a bit of teal acrylic glaze. I also tucked in pieces of the Natural Sprigs, which were distressed, then embossed with green and gold embossing powder. 

For my title, I used the cute "Smile!" polaroid frame from the Picture Perfect set. This was left mostly natural, with a few dabs of ink here and there, and a dark brown chalk in around the edges for definition.

Last but not least, I have added a section of the Blue Fern Frame..I cut this apart and have slowly been using pieces of it. I stamped with a script stamp and then embossed with gold. I then added touches of all of the paints and inks that I used on all of the other pieces in my project to make it blend nicely.

Thank you so much for stopping in today, I hope you have enjoyed my projects. See you soon!

Borders, flourishes and corners

Hi there, Eila here!

This post is my last one as a design team member for this wonderful company. 

I am forever grateful to Leslie for having had me on the Blue Fern Studios inaugural team. What an honour it has been to work together with a group of such enormously talented ladies! 

I am wishing the new team lots of creative fun and for taking over the baton, continuing to spread the word about the gorgeous BFS chipboards to the world! 

First the sweet memory of Summer's Last Blooms;

I just love how versatile the borders, flourishes and corners are. They can be cut in smaller pieces or used as they are, they always make for pretty layers and accents.

Another one of my favourites is the Lattice Gate.

On my next page, I have used The Royal Border and layered it with one of the Brigitte Butterflies.

Another favourite is the Garden Daisies. It can be dressed in numerous ways and look entirely different depending on what medium is used. Here I have covered it in micro beads in gold.

 BFS has a marvellous selection of titles, all of them beautifully cut.

I say Toodelipip! just as I do at the end of all posts over at my own blog www.dollopsofscrap.blogspot.com

It would be lovely to have you for a visit, bye for now!

Two layouts and a Tag from Irene

Hello everyone! First of all, I would like to share a layout which I've created based on this month's sketch challenge.



I've painted the Blue Fern Studio's floral clock with some black acrylic paint and detailed it with some metal embellishments, flowers and pearls.

Here is a picture of the chipboard piece used:

Floral Clock

My second project is a tag.



I've used a couple of feminine chipboard sets on this tag.

I've painted the mirror with white and later brush a thin layer of glitter on top of it. As for the dress form, I've painted it with black and deco with a small lace flower.

On the perfume bottles, I've painted them with dimensional paint and later covered them with stickers and glossy accents.

Here are the chipboard used:

Miss Tailor Set

Vanity Set

My last project for this month is another layout.

Here are some close-ups on the chipboard used.

All the chipboard pieces on this layout are misted with paints and later paint over with some dimensional paints.

Hope you all like all these projects. Happy scrapping!
