 I also cut out some flowers from the lace 4 to tuck behind my flower clusters.

August projects by Tartine Peluche

Hi everyone!
I'm back today for share with you a few inspiration for the new collection''WANDERLUST'' from Blue Fern Studios, and also one layout from ''GARDEN LIFE''
Two wonderful collections!!!

PLAYGROUND

My first layout is created from the paper ''MOUNTAIN VIEW'' I used side B.

 At first I stamped several parts of the stamp '' DEPARTURE''
I put the accent on green and brown on my background to bring out my photo, unfortunately, we don't see very well, it was rather pale initially.

At the top of my page, I used WANDERLUST VINE and LACE 4 with a piece of WHIMSY FLOURISH chipboard to start my layout.
WHIMSY FLOURISH was embossed with HOT COCOA embossing powder.

I used a piece of LACE 3 to separate the background from my photo.

In order, starting from the bottom, we can see a piece of
WHIMSY FLOURISH embossed with HOT COCOA embossing powder.
Then a part of chipboard CORNER FLOURISH embossed with AVOCADO embossing powder
and on the top, under the picture, I used SWALLOW BORDER,
also embossed with  HOT COCOA embossing powder .
The small boat, it is I who did it, with some pieces of wood found outside.

I cut the title in two. I wanted to use both parts but I could'nt find

 the good place for the second piece. What gives only as title: PLAYGROUND.
I used the embossing powder SUMMER BREEZE.

Here is in close-up the effect rendered by this magnificent chipboard.

To finish this layout, here in close-up the flowers I used, from the kits WANDERLUST LILIES and WANDERLUST VINE.
We don't see very well but I put on all flowers a little bit of MELTED BUTTER glitter.

SETTING SAIL
For the second layout, I used side B of LAKESIDE paper.

For my background: white gesso, ink and glitter.
I maked flakes with RUSSETT glitter and I added just a little shiny with VINTAGE JADE glitter.
All this makes the LACE 4 more showy.

I used the chipboard NATURAL FRAME to accentuate my photo.
It was embossed with STORMY SKIES embossing powder.

We see more the chipboard NATURAL FRAME on this picture.
Let's talk about the majestic flowers ... I'm in love with the WANDERLUST LILIES flowers!!!

SETTING SAIL was embossed with HOT COCOA embossing powder.

Really beautiful color!!!

Here is a close-up of photo part.

To finish, I used patterned rings from WANDERLUST PATTERNED CHIPBOARD.

For the background, pieces of chipboard QUILTED PAGE PANEL, ink, modeling paste and white gesso ... a lot of gesso! to fade my colors ultra flash. I rarely use colors also showy...

Wanderlust Inspiration by Kris Berc

Hi, Blue Fern Studios fans! It's Kris here to share my August projects with you.  I have three layouts using the new Wanderlust collection to show you today...oh how I adore the colors and patterns in this collection!

I Think You're Wonderful

I started with the gorgeous Wanderlust Ocean Voyage paper and prepped it with clear gesso.  I couldn't resist coloring the paper with yellow spray inks to match those beautiful, vibrant yellow flowers in the Wanderlust Vine! I then applied modeling paste through a stencil and some black stamping here and there with the new Travel Time stamp.

I treated the title chipboard piece with two embossing powders: Summer Breeze and Starry Night.

I used the same treatment on the Garden Lattice Bits chipboard.

I tucked a Wanderlust printed chipboard piece in at the bottom right of the photo, then layered on a Wanderlust Vine, a Wanderlust Lily, and a white rose from the Happy Roses set.

Happiness

For my second layout, I started with the gorgeous Wanderlust Mountain View paper. This time I was inspired by the blue pool water in my photo to add various colors of blue spray ink.  I then applied modeling paste through a stencil and some random stamping in black with the new Departure stamp.

I embossed the Happiness chipboard piece with Ebony embossing powder.  I embossed the sides of the Natural Frame chipboard piece with Hot Cocoa embossing powder, and then embossed the foliage areas of it with Avocado embossing powder.

My flower clusters include yellow and blue Wanderlust Lilies, a blue lily from the Dark Tropic Lilies set, and yellow blooms from the Spring Florals set.

Below is a closer look at the Avocado embossing powder...isn't it lovely?!

This Moment

I changed things up a bit for my third layout and focused more on the Wanderlust collection's neutral tones.  I started with the B-side of a piece Wanderlust Calling Cards paper and then layered strips of Wanderlust Pacific Coast paper (both sides) horizontally.  After a treatment of clear gesso, I painted the paper a bit with tan and brown spray inks, followed by stamping here and there in black with the new Dispatch stamp.

I embossed the "this Moment" chipboard piece with Mushroom embossing powder and then grunged it up a bit.  Above the chipboard piece, you can see some of the new Ivory Braided Trim.

The Swallow Border chipboard piece is another new item!  I treated it with Mushroom embossing powder and then added some Speckled Mint embossing powder in random areas.  It's layered on top of some of the new Ivory Venise Lace and topped with a Wanderlust Lily.

The Fern Leaves chipboard pieces are new, too! I treated two of them with the new Avocado embossing powder and tucked them into my embellishment clusters.
