March projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans.

The spring has sprung and Vera is here hurrying to show you layers of fresh inspiration. I would like to present  projects using the new Spring Parade collection and one more wedding layout with amazing Heartland.

Spring parade is so perfect for Easter layouts and decor and this is just the right time to start preparations for the holiday. I have created a layout which I'm planing to use as home decor on Easter.  Flowers make the scene rich and natural and the characters add some fairy look.

Floral lattice bits and the header are covered with Icicle and Lavender eggs embossing powders plus some white acrylic paint.

I used one of Vintage phrases stamp for the little journalling.

Each basket is made just of one sheet of paper.

I keep on making my wedding album and today I'm gonna show you layout about the beautiful bride (me) :)  Heartland collection drives me crazy with its beauty and variety of flowes.

 

How I love to use texture stamps with embossing powder on background. Leafy Florals stamp with Icicle powder adds some dimention to the whole composition.

In the layers of fussy cut flowers you may find roses from Rose Bouquet chipboard covered with Icicle embossing powder. And I used the Charmed Page Dangle covered with Fire brick glitter as the header.

Ocean Blue

Today we welcome back Daria, our Blue Fern Fan of the Month.  This gorgeous ocean blue paper is from the Heartland Collection.  It is so perfect with the photo Daria has used for her layout.

Daria has built some amazing texture on her layout.  

The flowers that are framing the photo are from the Heartland Bloossoms and Dark Tropic Lilies collections.   

The chipboard piece has been embellished with Blue Fern Stormy Sea and Breeze embossing powders.  

Be sure to check back next week when Daria will have another project to share!

Heartland with Daria

Today we are excited to once again feature our "Blue Fern Fan of the Month", Daria Makarova.  For this week's layout, Daria has used the lovely "Sweet on You " paper from the Heartland Collection.

Daria used this paper "because it is very beautiful and romantic".  She has added some texture paste and a few layers of paper to build the background.  The chipboard pieces (Quatrefoil Panel and Chesterville Collage) have been painted, then embossed using Blue Fern Wheat Embossing Powder.

The leaf accents are from a stamped image that was embossed with Wheat Embossing Powder, then cut out and tucked behind the photo.

Daria has added flowers from the Heartland Roses and Blooms, Spring Lilies, and Courtship Roses.  Sprinkled throughout her layout you can also see where she has stamped bits of the Royale Collage Stamp.

A big thank you to Daria for using the Heartland Collection in such a gorgeous way.

Be sure to check back next week when we will have another layout from Daria!
