July inspiration by Vera Shelemekh + video tutorial

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans.
Vera Shelemekh is here with a couple of Tattered Walls collection projects and video tutorial for one of them. So, get ready your crafty hands and prepare your Blue Fern Studio papers and media... the show is beginning.
The first layout is full of bright flowers and summer breeze. The photo is matching the palette of the background. By the way this is Tattered Walls - Suite 204 paper with just several stains of green acrylic paint.

The frame has been embossed with Avocado and Lime powder.

This bird was cut out of the round shape ephemera.

 I love to add small accents with stamping and seedlings.

 And the chipboard birds are taken from the Spring Day set

Please, find and enjoy the video tutorial for this layout

August inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans.
It's Vera Shelemekh here and I'm happy to share with you some fresh and bright summer inspiration.  I've made a botanic layout with Wanderlust paper and mixed two summer collections in a seaside layout. And for the dessert today are Happy accident chocolate boxes with lace and flowers.

The summer here in Moscow is a bit cold this year, but we had a couple of warm weeks to enjoy the Nature, to wonder with a butterfly net and breathe wonderful floral smells.
For this layout I used Wanderlust - Lakeside as background.

The photo is framed in a frame from Ever After Frame Set covered with avocado embossing powder.

 I decorated the layout with many stamped flowers, Damask Flourishes chipboard covered with lime embossing powder, stamped bugs and butterflies and a sweet owl.

 
"Discover" is the header taken from Wanderlust Words set

The other layout is combination of Wanderlust and Seaside cottage collections. The background is Ocean Voyage from Wanderlust. And the composition is the mixture of Seaside Cottage - Splendor and elements cut from the paper with cards.

 I also used the octopus and sea stars from Nautical Set and framed the photo in Wanderlust - Printed Chipboard frame.

The mixed media background includes stamping with Stamp - Essential Textures and waves colored with embossing powders Summer breeze and Stormy seas

Design Team projects Wendy Scholten June

Hi everyone,

It's my turn today to show you my design team work for the month June.

I have a canvas and 2 layouts to share with you.

So let's start with the canvas:

'Heaven Sent'

I only used a small piece of paper on this canvas behind my photo, it's from the new Garden Life collection.

 I used a stencil, some modeling paste, 4 colors paint spraynand the Blue Fern Studios Forever Stamp for my background.

 I used a piece of the Quatrefoil panel, the Circle Flourish frame and the Word Heaven Sent from the Spiritually Speaking Word Set as my title.

I thougt the title matched the photo very well, she's my little angel sent from Heaven and now we're waiting for our second little angel to say hello! We are so blessed!

 I used the Stormy Skies embossing powder on all the chipboard pieces to let them stand out more.

For the flower clusters i used the  Attic Charm Daisies, Dark Tropic Lilies, a flower from an older collection and a few small ones from my own stash.

May Projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans! 

Vera Shelemekh is here. Today is my turn to inspire you with the amazing Happy Accident collection. The self adhesive chipboards are absolutely gorgeous, aren't they? So easy to adhere and fun to play with!

My first layout is telling a summertime story. I even see the sun rays  shining from the right upper corner). I used Happy Accident - Incident paper for the background and a couple of pieces from the self adhesive chipboards set.

Graduated Circles and Chelsea Vines chipboards are covered with acrylic paint and some Mermaid glitter.

I love the combination of bright yellow and blue bubbles and flowers and watercolor birds from the Owls and birds stamps set.

And here is my video tutorial showing how to make this layout. I hope you will find it useful.
