Special Moments- By Keren Tamir

Keren here and its my turn again to showcase my work on the Blue Fern Studios blog.

I'm thrilled to feature the new Blue Fern Garden Collection today for you.

Capture the Moment

I really loved combining these two colours: green and pink. Its from the Picnic paper of the new Blue Fern Garden collection.

I painted the beaded circles in matching colours using Shimmerz paints. Of course I first primed the chipboard with Gesso.

Natural Beauty Tag

I created a tag with some of the leftover bits from the Calling Cards paper from the Blue Fern Garden collection. I even added a piece of Blue Fern Studios chipboard packaging.

I altered one of the Ever After Frames by covering it in crackle paste. Once dried (which dried clear) I painted it with Pink Shimmerz paint. The bird and the cage were primed with gesso and then inked with a chalk edger.

Finally I want to show you, in some more detail, my Layout for the monthly sketch challenge on the Blue Fern Blog.

I didn't use the Blue Fern Garden collection for it because my package came well after the sketch was revealed.

I used very earthy colours for this layout and combined it with many different Blue Fern Studios chipboard pieces.

All Natural

The February sketch is very versatile.

I've rotated it 90 degrees to fit my design.

This is a picture of my daughter watching the ducks by the pond. I really wanted to give this layout an earthy natural feel. I used flowers, feathers and nature themed chipboard to create this look.

The Blue Fern Chipboards I used are: All Natural set, Little Birds set, Bordeaux layered frame, Shabby brick bits and Twiggy branch.

I altered the frame by painting it with butterscotch coloured acrylic paint and then stamping it with brown archival ink. The bricks, bird and branch I simply inked in brown fluid chalk and the title I left raw.

Mixed Media Canvas, and two layouts featuring the Blue Fern Garden paper line

Mixed Media Canvas by Joyce:

I almost threw away this canvas because my technique on the corrugated elongated heart didn’t come out as I planned. Fortunately, I recently completed a lace organization project, which I will share with you on March 17th, and remembered I had a large piece of lace. I draped the lace over the elongated heart and my heart jumped for joy when it came out looking better than my original plan. Sometimes your mistakes can turn out to be “happy accidents.” This project features one of those darling little birds from the Little Bird collection. Some white paint, mist, water color pencil, and a white marker pen helped give this sweet bird some life. You’ll also see some of those bohemian flowers painted, and a leafy page accent piece treated with the fiber tissue paper technique.

Vintage Layout featuring the Blue Fern Garden Papers:

Oh these papers are truly lovely with those pretty images on each paper. The soft pinks and browns inspired me to create something vintage with the Romantic Page Dangle and Royal Page Bauble chipboard pieces. These dangles are my new favorites from BFS, they’re so original, versatile, and there is nothing else like them on the chipboard market. Both the dangle and the bauble were treated with some white paint, clear gesso, various colors of brown/copper mist, black and white marker pens, and some very small and thin metal charms to add some vintage flair. The strand of pearls on the bauble were coated with a heavy gel medium, a brown, dark brown, and copper colored mist, and a dab of white paint.

A Another layout using the Blue Fern Garden "Timeless" paper with many Blue Fern Studios chipboard pieces:

The Tuscan Window frame was treated with white paint, green mist, and some brown glaze with a dry brush technique around the edges of the chipboard; Some dimensional pearlescent paint was added to the ribbon on the Rose Border chipboard piece; some white paint, green mist, brown glaze and a piece of a white paper doily was added to the button chipboard piece.

Thank you for viewing my projects, and I’ll see you on March 17^th with an idea to help inspire you to organize your lacy bits featuring some Blue Fern Studios chipboard pieces of course.

Cages All Over by Camilla

Hi! Camilla Ekman here with some new projects and I am using some new fabulous chipboards from Blue Fern Studios.

To create this rather neutral layout I layered some different patterned papers from Maja Design and also used a mask to create a white swirl. As a photo mat I used the BFS Graduated Circles. Underneath the circle I used two Blue Fern Flourishes, one to the left and one to the right. I clustered some flowers and a vine and added two cages from the BFS Veranda Cage Set. The chipboards are painted in white gesso.

Next is a girly layout where I use the BFS Princess Window as a part of my photo mat. A beautiful cage from the BFS Veranda Cage Set and a Bohemian Butterfly shine among the flowers and pearl swirls. Those chipboards are also painted in white gesso. The papers are from Maja Design.

Blue Fern Studios products used:

My last project for this month is a bag card. I decorated the front of a paper bag. You can put a small gift inside and then close the paper bag and give it away as a card. The BFS Grande Cage is the centre of attention and I have only added a few small roses and some pink seam binding. The papers are from Maja Design.

Make sure to stop by the day after tomorrow to see some new projects from the Blue Fern Studios Design Team!
