October projects from Zanka

Hello everybody!
I'd like to share some of my latest BFS creations with you.

'Dreaming in color'

This layout is based on one of the sheets from Deja vu which I have cut in pieces and rearranged to have most of the pattern crossing in the middle. I have covered the cuts with washi tape and chipboard pieces. The chipboards are treated with gesso and watercolours.
Chipboards:  Turkish panel, Crossing the lines.
Stamps: Halftone

'XOXO'

For this layout I have used both sides of the same sheet from Botanical Garden, to achieve contrasting yet beautifully coordinated colour layers.
Except for the title piece, the chipboards are plain. The title is painted white and embossed with BFS embossing powder Petal.
Chipboards : Lace Heart Border, Deja vu Luminaires, XOXO

Elegant Cards.
I'm ending with two simple cards, which I made of cardstock bases, pieces of Botanical Garden papers and some BFS chipboards, just slightly touched with glitter.

Chipboards : Bits of honey, Butterfly friends, Organic vine corner
Glitter: Pyrite

Thanks for stopping by today!

April Projects by Galina Sazonova.

Hello friends!)

I really love to use black color in my works. And today I want to show you two projects on the basis of paper from the collection of Sanctuary and of black color.)

1. "This Moment".

My first project about of  wonderful moments in Tuscany.)

I used background chipboard "Shabby Brick Panel" and stamps to accentuate the texture and color of of old walls ....

Chipboard was painted with red spray and covered by glossy accent ....

 ....This created the volume effect. 

And a little more details) .....

 2. Card-motivator "Love".

My second project is about waiting of the summer ....

Despite the fact that there are many black, but the card, seems to me, looks very optimistic.)

  Smell the flowers, the birds singing, greens around, coolness of water ..... what could be better?))

 I used my favorite miniature  chipboard "Checker Bits"....

 .... and  paper from the collection Sanctuary. Chipboard was painting with spray of several shades.

Here such dreams of summer) ....

My First DT Projects By Angelica Franssen

Hello everyone! Angelica here with you today. I'm so excited to finally share my very first  projects as Blue Fern Studios designer. I’m so delighted to be part of a team with amazing designers and fantastic products. I hope this year you’ll be inspired by my projects. Here is a little bit about me….

My name is Angelica and I’m a stay-at-home mom. I’ve been married for sixteen years and have four children. I first started scrapbooking about fifteen years ago while my husband was serving in the military. He was frequently deployed and I needed something to keep me occupied. I wasn't a crafter until I found scrapbooking and never looked backed.  I love the art it's become today. I'm very passionate about scrapbooking and this has led me achieve a small successful business on Etsy.

You can find me at my blog

This is my first project based on the sketch:

I used the Meadows of Time, Botanical Garden and Calling Cards pattern paper from the Sanctuary Collection. I painted the Grunge Frame chippy randomly with gesso and misted it. Once it was dry I added just a tad bit of burgundy paint.

 For this layout I used the Garden Plaza and Conservatory papers also from the Sanctuary Collection. I did some layering with the Large Roman Clock pieces. Painting them with gesso then adding some textured paint.  Once dried I place the small clock on top of the large.

The Butterfly Grid had to be my most favorite piece. If you know me, you know I adore butterflies. I painted the grid and adhered it to the Boudoir pattern paper. Then, I layered the Tattered Butterflies over larger butterflies on the grid. Making it three dimensional.

Thank you for taking the time.....see you next month!!!
