My layout for October by Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

I'm back with my three layout for October.  The first two are with the Seaside Cottage, I just wanted to keep summer here a little longer.  My last one is more seasonal with the fall color palette.

Mommy's Boy

My first layout is featuring my baby boy...and me!  It's not often that i use a picture of me on one of my project but I really like this one. For this layout, i use less medium as usual.



On the chipboard of the title, I apply a coat of gesso and add blue spray ink. For the squares, i just apply gesso.

On this second layout, I use plenty of Imagine Ink embossing powders on my chipboard pieces. To decorate, I use the Blue Fern Studios flowers and to have the total beachy look, i add some real seashells and starfish.

July's inspiration by Pascale

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Blue Fern Studios blog with three new projects. The first two features the Timeless collection.

I take th photo of the Astrance in the garden of the castle of Chaumont-sur-Loire (Loire Valley, France)


First I primed the Song paper from the Timeless collection with clear gesso. Then I added a design with a stencil and 3D Gloss Gel.


When dry, I added some color in green and burgundy to match the photo. I splattered a mix of Merlot glitter, gel medium and water as well as white gesso. I added also a design with the Postal stamp and the Ginger embossing powder.


I primed the Wild Flourish Bundle with white gesso before coloring it with watercolor. I sprinkled the leaves with Verdant and Lime embossing powders to add some texture.


I primed the Persian Ornement with clear gesso and covered it with a clear crackle paste. When dry, I used two mica powders to color it.


To finish, I added some random stamping with the Halftone stamp.

Blue Fern Studios products:

Papers - Timeless (Song, Freedom) ;
Chipboards - Wild Flourish Bundle, Persian Ornament ;
Stamps - Journey, Haftone ;
Imagine Ink - Embossing Powders (Verdant, Lime, Ginger) ;
Imagine Ink - Glitter (Merlot).

------------------------------

I also use the Timeless collection for the second layout but as you can see the result is really different. I take this photo during an street event we have recently near the place I live. This clown is called Lullaby and the show was so entertaining.


I cut in the Freedom and Main Street papers from the Timeless collection some squares that I glued on the background with a soft gel. When dry I covered everything with clear gesso.


Then I added a design with a stencil and a white crackle paste. I let dry naturally before coloring the background in various shades of brown and green.


I primed all the chipboards with clear gesso The title Glee was just paint in green. The Chelsea Vines were painted in brown, then sprinkled with two shades of green embossing powder.


I covered the Mod Squares with the Rust Effect Paste and splattered them with the same green watercolor I used on the background and the title.


Before gluing all the elements, I stamped randomly the background with the Making Plans stamp.

Papers - Timeless (Couture, Freedom, Main Street) ;
Chipboards - Mod Square, Chelsea Vines, Serendipity Words 2 ;
Flowers - Tranquil Blooms ;

Imagine Ink - Embossing Powders (Fern, Grassy Knot).

------------------------------

Here is my third project:  I chose a photo of the Duncaire Castle situated on the shore of Galway Bay (Kinvara, co. Galway, Ireland) and the new collection Seaside Cottage was just the perfect choice.


I started to prime the background with clear gesso before adding a design with a stencil and 3D gloss gel. When dry, I added a second design with another stencil and white crackle paste.


I primed the chipboards with clear gesso. I painted the title Magique from the French Adjectives 2 set with a silver watercolor as well as the Seaside Flourish. While the watercolor was still wet I sprinkled some Icicle embossing powder.


I colored the background with different shades of blue and green. Then I mixed some Silver Prism glitters with water and gel medium and splattered the mix on the background to remind the reflections in the water. I repeated the process with the Blue Ice glitters. 


After having glued all the embellishments, I added some stones to remind the ones in the photo.

3x Layout inspiration by Wilma

When I got the Courtship lane collection I saw so many possibilities.
It is just hard to decide which paper to use first ;) 
My first layout is made after the March sketch.
The picture is not the best quality... but I love it so much.
She was walking and acting like a princess that day, but also princesses get tired and soar feet.


The sketch:

For my background I used the beautiful Royal street paper.
And I fussy cut a  few parts out of the West Plaza paper.


The beautiful chipboard  Symphony  was first gessod, than sprayed with colormist in the wet gesso.
Than I took a white piece of cardstock and depped it here and there.
The white shows through and you are left with a great background for a card and colored chipboard..

A few Blue fern flowers and finishing touches ....

*******


This next  layout was super fun to do.
Playing with color just makes me happy.


My background is made with ecoline watercolor and some Blue Fern Studios embossing powders.
The stamp I used in the background  comes from the Texture1 set .

I cut up the Mod Square panel, and embossed it not to neat with pearl embossing powder.

*******

The last layout for today is also made with the Courtship lane collection :




The chipboard flowerframe and the titel  are colored with Gansai Tambi watercolor.


Thanks for visiting the blog, I hope you liked my post.

Frolic inspiration from Elena Morgun

Hello friends!

The weekend is around the corner. And I would like to inspire you with some new projects. Today I have prepared a layout with a video tutorial and ATC set.

This layout I created for a friend as a present. Her son's photo was my main inspiration. I decided to create layers with the help of chipboards. I painted them with Silks this time. I love the color transitions I got here. The layout turned out very shiny.
