Autumn Anthology with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, everyone! 

I'm here today to share my October Blue Fern Studios projects using the Autumn Anthology collection. Fall colors are a fave of mine, so this was just plain FUN!

 "Memories"

Starting with a vintage photo of my mom, I've used the Le Ballon and Mercantile paper as my base and focused on a few fave pieces of chipboard, the Oval Daisy Frame and the new French Ironworks .. so gorgeous! I painted them with some distress paint and then did some random embossing with a gold embossing powder. I was going for a very rusted look. I finished the pieces off with a dab of metallic patina. 

Of course, there is some mixed media in the background and use of the new Imagine Mist in Persimmon as well as the texture stamp. Persimmon is such a great color! I've fussy cut and layering in some pieces from the Calling Cards and some butterflies from Frolic Dans le Jardin. 

Close-ups:

Love to frame my photos with chipboard! 

This new French Ironwork is so intricate .. in love! 

I snipped it into two pieces and used some here.

"Love"

Next is just a very sweet romantic page of my daughter and her husband using the Gazebo paper. I've used lots of the new Imagine Ink mist in Leaf on my background to really give it some pop, then pulled the purple and gold flowers from the paper by adding similar 3 dimensional ones. I completed the background with Texture stamp. Behind the photo are Newsworthy and Calling Cards layered in. The little bird was fussy cut from the Newsworthy paper.

My Iron Signage, Ironwork Edges, Victorian Corner and Love from the Good Vibes set were all treated the same way. I first primed with gesso and then did a little experiment with some textured spray paint from the hardware store. Definitely something that needs to be done outside!! The smell is quite harsh but it gave the cupboard a fun look. After that dried completely, I misted all the pieces with some black mist.



The Doily Bunting (a fave) was left raw because it was a nice warm brown color and seemed to blend nicely as is with my photo. 

Love this new Iron Signage piece and can see myself using it a lot. 

I've been saving the Victorian Corner for just the right project and this was it.
 But now, it's on my re-order list!

"An Autumn Story" 

You've probably seen this one already because it was done using the October Sketch. The photo was of myself and one of my uncles taken many years ago at my Grandmother's farm. 

The title piece and Butterfly Friends were inked in brown, then some gold embossing was added to the butterflies for sparkle. 

Again, just some simple inking on the Seasonal Wildflowers and Berry Stems in green. Then I spritzed them with the new Leaf mist. Finally, I added a little glitter glue to the Wildflowers .. hardy ever use that stuff anymore!

Autumn Anthology With Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie back again, to share two layouts I created 

with the Autumn Anthology Collection.

Lots of paper layering and  fussy cutting on this layout, showcasing a picture of my children from years ago.  I used several papers from the Autumn Anthology collection:  Gazebo, Newsworthy, LeBallon, Cottage and Calling Cards.

Here are a few closeup of the chipboard I used:

Ironwork Edges sprayed with Imagine Ink Mist Sky and dabbed with some dark blue ink.

Willow Wild Flower sprayed with Imagine Ink Mist Persimmon and dabbed with some dark brown ink.

Layering Stems sprayed with Imagine Ink Mist Persimmon.

And for my title Yesterday from Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday sprayed with Imagine Ink Mist Sky and dabbed with some dark blue ink.

My next layout was created using the October sketch using papers from the Autumn Anthology Collection.

I used Calling Cards, Gazebo and LeBallon papers on my layout. 

Lots of layering under my photo along with a Double Swirl Small chipboard piece which I sprayed with Imagine Ink Mist Sky.  I also used the Floral Lattice Bits chipboard which I painted apricot.

The Always and Forever chipboard was sprayed with the Imagine Ink Mist in Sky.

A lovely cluster of flowers and another view of the Floral Lattice Bits Chipboard.

I hope I have inspired you with my layouts!  Autumn Anthology is a beautiful collection of papers.

For more inspiration and a look at the October sketch please click here.  You still have plenty of time to join us this month.

Thanks for stopping by!

I made 2 layouts Very fun!

【story】

I often take a picture together with my daughter.

That's a very important memory.

After painted gesso for this chip board, we put a partially lame.

A stamp of brick used this.

Repeatedly to cut out a lot of paper.

Banner is a stamp that was released this time.

It is very easy to use even feel the right size!
