Three projects with Irina Gerschuk

Hi ladies!
It's Irina with you today and I'm really excited to share my new projects!
My first project is a LO "Blooming Beauty" about my little sister. It tells a short "family story" about our walk in the woods one hot summer day:

And let me show you some close-ups:
I covered the title "Blooming Beauty" with two different colors of paints then added a layer of crackle accent and after all covered it spontaneously with microbeads:

Here is one more closer look at the title, and under the rose is a piece from the Ornate Medallions set:

Well, here are three different pieces of BFS: Symphony border (also painted with different colors and than added microbeads), Evening Lamp Post (I covered it with white embossing powder) and parts from the Garden Window (again painted with different paints and after it added a layer of glance lacquer):

 The same window but from the other angle (just want to show you all the painting and volume here))):

And here are the pieces of BFS that I've used in the LO:

Evening Lamp Post (Model: 074660):

My next project is a birthday card. I used the Calligraphic Border and Damask Flourish in it:

Some close-ups:
The Damask Flourish I covered with two different kinds of paints (choosing colors that match the palette of the card) and than added a thick layer of crackle accent:

 I added a flower composition on top of it to achieve more volume and details here:

 And here is one of my favorite pieces of BFS - the Calligraphic Border. As to me it's stylish, elegant and so universal that can match almost very work))) I covered it with white embossing powder:

And here are the pieces I've used:

Damask Flourish (Model: 074868):

Calligraphic Border (Model: 074363):

My last project for today is a soft handmade notebook made from stitch:

I've used a piece from the Double-Dutch Flourish Set here:

 Covered the chipboard with lavender paint and than with white crackle paint:

And here is the BFS piece by itself:

That's all for today!

{3} Layouts with Patter

Hi everyone. It's Patter Cross here, and I am glad to be back. Today I am sharing three 8x8 layouts with you. I hope you will enjoy them and find some fun ideas to use. Now let's look at these smaller layouts.

"Keep Faith"
We are finally members of a church in our new town. I am so excited, and of course scrapping a picture of our new church was very important to me. So, here it is (below). For this layout I used the Tuscan Window chipboard as a topper to my photo. I then added the Garden Window shutters to the sides of my photo. I liked mixing the two chipboard sets.

I wanted to leave my chipboard raw as I liked the raw color on the layout. To dress them up, I just stamped on them using brown ink.

"Beautiful Iris"
In our new house in October, the irises began to bloom. Kind of late I believe but we moved them from the front yard to the side so I think they were in a bit of shock. But once they came up, wow! I used the Blooming Foliage chipboard on this page.

To create the fun texture on Blooming Foliage, I mixed a bit of glass bead gel with green acrylic paint. I then spread it on the chipboard. While it was still wet, I then misted it with a mix of gesso and water. It has a really fun texture when you touch it but it's hard to tell in the photos.

"Love Always"
And for my last layout, I thought I would share my husband's executive work photo. I don't have a lot of scrapped photos of him so this one is special. I used the Vintage Locks and the word 'love' from the Valentine Word Set here.

I wanted my chipboard to look like leather since this was a masculine layout. To achieve that, I just covered the chipboard in distress ink. It worked very well for the look I wanted.

A Clock, A Window and A Moment in Time

Hi everybody! It's Camilla. I have two new projects for you today showcasing Blue Fern Studios products. 

First a layout with a photo of my sweet nieces. Here I have used two chipboards - the  Floral Clock and the A Moment in Time.

The chipboard pieces are altered in the same way. First I painted it in white gesso. Then I dabbed some tattered rose coloured Distress Stickles here and there. It has the same rose colours as the flowers. And to finish them off, I covered the pieces in clear crackle paint.

And here is a close-up of the gorgeous clock.

Secondly, I made a card for my sister-in-law. I used the Garden Window.

I painted it in white gesso. When it had dried I used a script stamp (black) and then inked it with gold ink.
