Marilyn's February Layouts and Video Tutorial

Hi everyone! Marilyn here to share with you two projects and a video tutorial with the new beautiful Serendipity collection.

I choose the Contemplation and Calling Cards papers from the Serendipity collection. I used the Flourish Hearts, Everlasting Love and the Whimsy Flourishes chipboards in this page.

I apply embossing powder pearl and sea mist colors to all the chippies.

I cut out a card from the Calling cards paper to embellish my page.

I added pearls and micro beads with gel medium.

Blue Fern products:
Serendipity- Contemplation and Calling Cards paper

Chipboard: Flourish Hearts, Everlasting Love, Whimsy Flourishes
Embossing powder: Pearl, Sea Mist
Stamp: Brocade Texture
Mist:Winter Mint


Here's the video tutorial I hope you inspire.



 
 "Blow Out the Candles"
In this page "Merriment"is my base paper that I enhanced the color with the cotton candy mist. 

I apply cotton candy and 14  karat embossing powders to the Persian Ornament chipboard .

The Blow out the Candles chipboard goes perfect with my daughter's photo. I stamped with the Texture 1-stamp.

Two mixed media layouts with video tutorial by Wilma Voermans

Today I present you the two layouts I made with the new Serendipity collection.
Newly I do not only scrap for keepsakes.
I love scrapbooking , but most of my familypictures are in project life albums. 
More pictures and more journaling, and it is my big fun to make my own cards.

But.....I still love scrapbooking on 9x12 and 12x12.
And I will still do familyphotos 
But when I see a beautiful picture somewhere online I just scrap it .
No more bad feelings that it is not a keepsake.
I keep them for myself  , after all it is a hobby..

Enough  talking , here is my first layout



I can tell you how and what I did, but if you want to know.....
Here is the start to finish video. Which will show you the whole process.
Chipboard used: Serendipity title and grid pieces .

I hope you have time and fun to watch .







***********************

The second layout is also made with the Serendipity collection.
The background paper is called merriment.
Normaly I work many hours on a layout.
Well...working is a big word :) 
But I think  add something, drink coffee, add something, etc etc.
This layout ;  I cant believe I did it.....was made in one hour!!
It was difficult, to just add without thinking and not go through my stash for hours.
But I saw the sun going away , and I really wanted to make a bright picture for this post.
I am not comfortable to rush, but today it just worked out.

For both layouts I used the Serendipity words as a title.
All the color you see is done with bright Japanese watercolor.
On the title aswell .

I used it because watercolor dryes quick .
The flourish is the organic vine.
I had fun with this new collection.
Thanks for visiting the blog.
