{2} Different Cards With Patter & A Sketch Layout

Today I wanted to share two very different cards with you. The first is a mixed media card with lots of paint, embossing paste, etc. The second is a simple quick card without any paint or mixed media. So, if you need to create something in a hurry, try the second card. Otherwise, if you want to dabble in some paint and fun, try the first card! Let's have a look.

Today
This card uses lots of paint and mixed media. I used the Blue Fern Garden Calling Cards paper for the sentiment. I also used the Symphony Corners and Mini Ring Things chipboard.

The Symphony Corner chipboard is painted with a layer of gesso then a pink mist. The Mini Ring Things chipboard I cut into individual circles and covered each piece in gesso. Then I placed a few rings on the card.

Just Because
This card is a more simple card. I used the gorgeous collage image from the Blue Fern Garden Calling Cards paper for the background. I then added some ribbon, flowers, and a flair button for the sentiment. I also added a piece of the Blue Fern Studios Bits of Honey chipboard. I left it raw because I liked that color against the other colors on the card.

Sweet Max
This is the 8 1/2 x 11 layout I created using the Blue Fern Studios April Sketch Challenge. You still have until midnight EST tomorrow to join in the fun!

To color the Blue Fern Bit heart chipboard, I put down a layer of gesso followed by a blue mist. While it was still wet, I "stamped" a piece of bubble wrap on each piece to get this fun effect.

My very last projects By Kristine Henanger

Hi Everyone!
This is my very last post for Blue Fern Studios!
It has been an amazing journey and I have been so lucky to be a part of this talented team! 

Here is my December projects:
"Happy"

On this layout I used glimmermist, papers, chipboard leftovers, modeling paste and stencils to create my background. Then I put on the picture and title.
For this layout I used following chipboard pieces: Quatrefoil Panel, Mini Rings Panel

"Tullekopp"

On this layout I used a stencil and modeling paste to create the chevron pattern, and then I made a paper cluster with leftovers. Putting chipboard pieces under and between the papers.
For this layout I used following chipboard pieces: Broken rings, Mini ring things, Directions

"Memories"

 On this layout I mixed modeling paste and glimmermist and applied it where I wanted my "cluster" to be.
Then I put on chipboard, cheesecloth, and some bling.
For this layout I used following chipboard pieces: Screen Panel, Picture perfect, Memory Frame 

I hope you found some inspiration here today! :)
Thank you all, its been a fun six months and I hope you have enjoyed my projects :)
