"Love This"

My first share this month for Blue Fern Studios is another beach layout.

I used the Sanctuary collection for the background and stamped it with the new textured stamps. Then I built the layout with chipboard and flowers.

I framed the photo with the Circle vine chipboard and used a couple of mini flourishes to add more swirls around the photo.

Then I added the "Love this" arrow word title.

All chipboard was painted with Antique Gold brown spray ink.

"Shadow Box Frame"

My second project this month is a shadow box frame which I covered with the Correspondence paper from the Sanctuary collection.

I framed the photo in the notebook frame, which was inked with brown acrylic ink.

The frame was embellished with flowers and the Seasonal Wildflower chipboard pieces. I also inked them in brown and then glued golden micro-beads on the flowers.

Thank you for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog.

Love Story projects by Zanka

Hello!
It's my turn to share some more project which I created in February using BFS elegant Love Story collection. This is just a small share of the wonderful possibilities which this collection can be used for.
For my first project I picked Grand Ball, my absolute favourite paper in the whole collection! I worked both with the front and the back side, and I can't make up my mind-which one do I like more ;)

This  layout's colour scheme was entirely inspired by the colours of the paper pattern.

I have used some plain chipboards which I think match perfectly for the colours here. The branch is randomly dabbed with gesso. The heart is primed with gesso and covered with glossy accents and embossed with a distress powder.
Chipboards used:
Spring Branch, Lace Heart Border, word set Laughter, Happy , Smile, Layering Stems

My second project is also inspired by the base paper colours but as you see, the palette and style are completely different here.

I used Love Story stamp sets 1 & 2 to fill up the background with the stamp collage.
Chipboards: Circle Vine, Mixed Chains. The framed is primed with gesso and painted with crackle paste.

Thank you for spending a moment with me today, have a fantastic creative day!

A layout and a card from Camilla

Hi all!

I have worked with the new Sanctuary collection and have made a layout and a card. The layout looks like this:

The chipboards (Smile and Circle Vine) are covered with white crackle texture paste and then I sprinkled some gold glitter onto them.

The card is this one. I have only covered the chipboard piece (Fancy Signage) with white gesso and then used some brown ink.

Thanks for looking!
