Hi Everyone!
I'm so excited to share with you my first projects for Blue Fern Studios.
It's such an honor to be a part of this talented team.
First, let me introduce myself.
My name is Barbara, but everyone calls me Babi. I am a Brazilian currently living in New Jersey, USA. In my country I used to be a Librarian, but now I spend most of my time taking care of my daughter, blogging, teaching and running a small scrapbook business.
I love creating girly projects and I can't resist beautiful flowers. I started this scrapbook journey as a cardmaker but know I'm all over the place, always learning and trying new things.

In my first layout I used the back of the XOXO paper from the Heartland collection .
I started by applying some clear gesso all over the page. I like to protect and seal the paper before adding some color and texture.
Next, I used a stencil and black ink to create the background.
I applied some texture paste on a "handwritten" stencil and covered the paste with Pearl Embossing Powder and heated it after it dried. You can't tell so much just by looking at the picture, but it gives a very delicate texture.
I also covered the Floral Lattice Bits chipboard with Antique Gold Embossing Powder.
For the layers I used the following papers: Bicycle for Two, Sweet of You and a piece of book paper.
I fussy cut some beautiful flowers using Bicycle for Two paper and arranged with some paper flowers - Spring Lilies to create a full bouquet.
To finish the background I added a love title, a little bit of spray ink, sprinkle white and black gesso for more contrast.

The Heartland collection was also used in my second layout. I love how versatile this collection is. You can go from bold to colorful very easily and keep a natural style.
I used two Kiss Kiss sheets, one of them slightly smaller to add some dimension.
For the background I applied some texture paste using a heart stencil. Then on top of that I added It's a Girl and Pearl embossing Powder.
For the layers I used Love Blooms and Bicycle for Two papers.
Again, I did some fussy cutting using on the Sweet On You paper. Sorry, I can't resist these beautiful flowers. LOL.
I used the chipboards Heartland XOXO that I embossed with Snow Embossing Powder. It gives a nice white look that contrast with the colorful papers.
And here you can see more details of the flower arrangement.

My last layout is all about winter.
In keeping with the Christmas spirit, I decided to use these beautiful papers from Vintage Christmas collection for a Winter layout.
I used the Auld Lang Syne paper for the base and added some strips of the Wonderland paper on the sides.
For the Layers I went with Auld Lang (Vintage Christmas 1) and Twas the Night (Vintage Christmas 2).
Some texture with gesso, stencil, ink and stamps.
Then cut a couple of frames with white cardstock and applied some 3D gel followed by Vintage Gold and Pyrite Glitter. It's sparkly and gives some contrast to the page.
Moving on I embossed the chipboards Shabby Flakes with Snow Embossing Powder and Winter Titles with Antique Gold.
