July inspiration by Tartine Peluche

Hi everyone!

I'm back to share with you my new layouts of month.

My first one is :

The young woman was silent ...

For this layout I have to work in layer, several paper of the collection Happy Accident,

 a few paper cut and my chipboards.

I used Fortuity paper.

First my background is very simple a little cheese cloth here and there and some stamping with Serendipity medley and Grungy grid stamp. 

In the foreground the title "Story" embossed with the embossing powder "Copper". 

Under this one a chipboard of the kit "Spring Trinkets" embossed with Snow embossing powder, I then sprinkled with brilliant Burnt Copper.

On both sides of the title, the chipboard ginger's poppies embossed with Pink Dust embossing powder. 

Which I cut in two and placed on two different layers under the photo

Under the top of the picture, we find part of the chipboard Holiday Deer 

( No one said that deer live only in winter ... ;) But I removed the snowflakes from the chipboard.

I cut the chipboard so as to keep that central part for the top of my photo 

the other two pieces of the chipboard are layered under the flowers on the right side of the photo.

I embossed them with Oatmeal embossing powder and distressed with light brown ink pad.

If we look again on the left side of the picture we find one of the kit chipboards Petite Boutique Frames.

I embossed it with the powder "Snow" then I made a crackle treatment and then I added pink ink to bring out the cracks. 

Then I glued a piece of lace to the back.

I also used two deer from the kit "winter deer" I also embossed them with Oatmeal embossing powder and distresser with light brown ink pad.

I used small pink flowers from Courtship Roses kit.

Here is a few close ups:

My two others layouts featuring Garden Life paper

Capture life's moments

For the first of two, I used Felicity paper.

This background is a little more sophisticated than the first.

 I started by creating my texture then I played with ink and stamps.

 I really like the attached letter writing of "Serendipity Medley"stamp.

 I used it with a black ink to create contrast.

Then with the chipboard "Shabby Brick Bits" I added a little more texture to my background. 

I embossed it with "Snow" and applied a thin layer of blue opalescent paint.

To embellish my photo, I always opt for layers of paper, thus creating depth to my creation.

Between the different layers I added here, my flowers. 

The daisy comes from the kit "Attic Charms Daisy" the roses come from the kit "Garden Blooms"

If you look on either side of my photo, I used a peony from the kit "Chesterville Blooms" that I cut in half.

As journaling for my layout I used few printed chipboards from Garden life 

and "inspiration" come from Happy Accident printed chipboard.

Have you seen the new Rose Leaves chipboards? I love them! Here I painted them in green.

In the lower right corner of my page, there is a flower, normally white from Heartland Blossoms kit ... 

A happy accident made him fall into my ink ... and became like that ... I find her pretty!

I kept the best for the end ... my butterflies! (Royal Monarchs)

First of all, I put white gesso, after I used two different inks, one green and one gold.

 Then I made some white splash with gesso.

With a piece of lace that I inked with the same ink as my background, 

I stuck to the back of my butterflies. I really like the result!

So, you know everythings ...

Blossom Story

For this layout I've not did mixed media background. 

I just played with the paper ... I cut it,  torn it, and distressed it.

I started with the paper "Flower Bed" which I drew the flowers with black pencil. 

Each of the flowers one after the other ... I spent the day ...

I've used almost all the paper in entire.

Each of the cut parts placed on different layers under my photo.

My title "story" is embossed in white and then half of the top is embossed in purple. 

I used Snow and Lavender Eggs embossing powder.

Butterflies are stamped on a paper of "Spring Parade / May Vignettes"

 I used "Bourbon Street" and "Spring Accents" stamps

The "Looped Frames" and "Quatrefoil Panel" chipboards are simply embossed in white with Snow  embossed powder.

The small piece from Quatrefoil Panel is embossed with Baby Pink embossing powder.

I also added chipboard Leafed Bough that I cut into several pieces. I painted this one in green.

I used several yellow flowers of the kit "Garden Blooms" but I removed the central 

part of the flowers to keep only the petal of the bottom.

See my close ups for all details.

June projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans!
Vera Shelemekh is on air and I'm happy to share with you my projects featuring the new collection Garden Life which inspires to create wonderful flourish layouts.

I'll start with a fairy tale layout about my son and his girlfriend. Garden Life - Morning Dew paper as background does not require too many embelishments. It's so beautiful itself.

I added cut elements from Garden Life - Snippets and Garden Life - Flower Bed paper sheets. All these characters and flowers make the fairy tale.

I used  Stamp - Wedding Sentiments for the header.

I can't leave my layouts without wonderful Blue Fern Studios chipboards. In this I used Leafy Bough bits covered with lime embossing powder. And one more small header from the set of Garden Life - Printed Chipboard

The other layout is for my Wedding album. I decided to divide the Garden Life - In Bloom paper and fussy cut the elements from the upper part. I replaced the cut part with some craft paper and adhered many cut flowers on it.

The header is made with Follow Your Heart chipboard covered with Icicle embossing powder and soot glitter.

The Spring frame is covered with Icicle embossing powder and  Glitter - Fool's Gold. For the backgroung I used Leafy florals Stamp.

 I also used the round piece of chipboard from the Garden Life - Printed Chipboard set.

and also many wonderful cut elements from  Garden Life - Snippets and Garden Life - Flower Bed

The frames are covered with Embossing Powder - Iridescent Grey. I made two layers of powder.

Cathi's September Projects

Hello again friends!! I am back this month with some more projects and this time I'd love to start off with a layout to get me in the mood for autumn! The days are getting shorter and the air is getting crisper so I decided that the gorgeous Autumn Anthology papers would be perfect for my first layout this month. I chose the gorgeous Newsworthy sheet from the collection.

Here you can see where I took some cutouts from the Calling Cards paper from Autumn Anthology and tucked them under my 13 year old daughter's photo. She loves her makeup and knows her way around photo filters so she is looking about 20 here...I don't want her growing up so fast! You can see the background stamping here using the Forever set and the butterfly from the Bourbon Street set.  I did some misting and masking with moulding paste. 

I just love the Royal Monarchs chipboard set and have added a butterfly here to match in with the butterflies in her hair in the photo!! I embossed the chipboard using the Imagine Ink Buttercup and Auburn Embossing Powder colors.

I just love the flowers from Blue Fern Studios! Don't you just love the deep red color of those lilies from the Seaside Lilies collection, just beautiful. I also added the large yellow Attic Charm Glitter Rose and some dark brown Courtship Blooms. I tucked in some pieces from the Leafy Bough chipboard and I colored them with Auburn Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.

To finish off this layout I added my title in the bottom corner using the Be Your Best Selfie chipboard from the Selfie Squares set. Again, I added Imagine Ink Embossing Powder in Buttercup and Auburn.

My next layout features my camera shy youngest when she was young and less camera shy! My little beach babe!! For the base of this layout I chose the beautiful Regalia paper from the Seaside Cottage collection and cut out some fun words from the Calling Cards collection.

Here you can see my background stamping with some of my favorites stamps: Making Plans, Forever, and Essential Textures. I used the Forever stamp in Picked Raspberry Distress Ink and the others were Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Here you can see the flower cluster. I chose flowers to tone in with my daughter's bright swim suit! She has a bright pink Courtship Rose in her hair and the same color Attic Charm Daisy, the pink lily is from the Dark Tropic Lily set.

For the Beach Babe chipboard I used Seven Seas and 14 Karat Imagine Ink Embossing Powders... If you look closely around my daughter you can see where I used the Oatmeal Imagine Ink Embossing Powder, it has a great grainy looking texture perfect to imitate a sand texture!

I added a few shells to my layout which I love!! Underneath my little beach girl I added the Seaside Flourish chipboard, again using the Seven Seas and 14 Karat Imagine Ink Embossing Powders I tucked a light and dark pink set of Courtship Roses.to add to my embellishment cluster.

My final project is a set of four cards. I love the blues and browns of this collection and I think the images are gorgeous, so I chose four images from the Calling Cards paper and made those the focus of my cards. For my first two cards I used the Splendor page. I added stitching around the edges and popped the image up foam tape. I then added some Seaside Lilies and my favorite shells from my stash. I also tucked in a light brown Courtship Bloom.  For some background interest and texture I added Mesh Bits and for the card on the left I embossed with Sea Mist Imagine Ink Embossing Powder and for the right card Azure Imagine Ink Embossing Powder. I have added the beautiful Seasonal Wildflowers pieces embossed with Melon Imagine Ink Embossing Powder to the flower clusters for a bit of detail. I finished off the cards by tucking in some cheesecloth for a netting kind of texture to the cards.

For my final two cards I used a base of the Voyage paper, I just love the colors and images in the paper. I then added the adorable vintage sailor suit boy images for these cards.  Again I tucked in some Mesh Bits for texture. These were embossed using Cerulean Imagine Ink Embossing Powder. For my clusters I used the beautiful blue Seaside Roses as well as the dark brown Courtship Blooms. I added in some seashells from my stash and then the coral pieces from the Seaside Treasures which I embossed in Poinsettia Imagine Ink Embossing Powder. I finished off these cards with some stitching around the edges.
