Autumn Anthology Layouts with Angelica

Happy Saturday, friends! I was so excited to get the new paper collection, Autumn Anthology. They're designed beautifully! I created three layouts that I'm going to share with you today.

 Purple is my favorite color and I love it paired with a soft green! I used the Gazebo paper as my background. But behind that I used Parfumerie as an added layer. Before I got started I used BFS new mist, Leaf, in the center. I love the mist....has great coverage and is light.

I used both Quatrefoil Garden Panels. I painted them with gesso then used some stucco paste for texture. For a bit added color as I used a light coat of the green mist. 

 I painted the blossom branches and lightly tinted them with the mist.

 I have never scrapped this color combo before(well as least not that I can remember) but I have to say the blue and peach are just gorgeous!!! This is my take on the September Sketch. I used the La Ballon paper as my background and Mercantile as a mat. On the background I did some light brushing with gesso then used the Sky Mist and Persimmon Mist as splats. I randomly did some stamping with the Essential Texture Stamp.

I used the Layering Stems and Organic Vines as my foliage. This time used about three coats of the Leaf Mist to get full coverage.



 

I used pieces of the Screen Panel as a bottom layer.

 The Parfumerie Paper is so pretty! I used it for my background and Penmanship for a mat. I used the bricks stamp for the Essential Texture set.

I used both the Iron Work Edges. I painted them with gesso, Lightly misted with brown, then used Stucco paste. Once dried I rubbed some distress ink on the raised parts of the stucco.

 I did the same for the Floral Lattice Bits.

 

 

 Thanks for taking a peek!

Three projects with Autumn Anthology by Marie-Josée

Hello, Blue Fern Studios fans!

Fall is just around the corner, and Blue Fern Studios has just released its newest collection, Autumn Anthology, which is full of lovely, rich colors. Here are the three projects I created with this stunning collection, which I LOVE!

"Amour" layout

For this layout, I used the Balcony paper as my background. Since it's a busy paper, I decided to go with a black and white photo.

I added pieces of paper under my photo. Both come from the Mercantile paper; I used both sides of it.

The title is from the French Words set. I altered it with black Archival ink.

On both sides of my photo, I used the two pieces of the Ironwork Edges chipboard set. I altered them with a touch of white gesso.

I also used a stamp from the Essential textures set, with black Archival ink.

Altered tin box

Here's an altered tin box I created with the rest of the Mercantile paper sheet.

I also add a piece of chipboard to the front of the tin box, from the Classic ornaments set.

And here are two closeup views so that you can see the beautiful pattern of the Mercantile paper.

 

 

Cards

Here are the two cards I created on kraft cardstock.

 

 

For the first one, I used the Penmanship paper and a piece of chipboard from the
Classic Ornaments set. I also used a small piece of the Mercantile paper.

For the second one, I used the Penmanship paper and two pieces of chipboard from the
Classic Corners set.

Thank you, and have a great week!

New at Blue Fern Studios - Autumn Anthology!

We are excited to introduce our new collection - Autumn Anthology, designed by the very talented Michele Singh.  This is going to be a long post, with a lot of images, because there is so much to see!

We begin with the paper collection.  In addition to the beautiful colors, you will find an array of dainty lace patterns, a charming cottage and gazebo, classic ironwork, and vintage newsprint adorning this collection of 10 patterned papers.  There are also plenty of items just perfect for fussy cutting, and numerous cards for you to cut apart and tuck into your projects.

But that's not all!  This collection is packed with enough products to get your creativity going, and keep it flowing for quite some time.  Each item in this release builds on the others!

For the first time, we are excited to add a collection of  mists that were selected to further bring alive the colors in this collection:
