Mixed Media projects by Tartine Peluche

Hello sweeties!
First, as you see, I'm always on the team! I'm so happy for that!
 I left the team last month because I was afraid of being unable to do 3 layouts
 per months with all the new change in my life ...
Everything arranged, and I'm here this month with 3 projetcs!! Yeahh, I did it!
I don't know if I'll be able to do it every months but I cross my fingers....
Everything's gonna be alright ... One day at a time...

So, let me introduce you my first project of month.
This is a layout, the others two are canvases...

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

*FLY*
( Remnants, Courtship Lane)

I started with the side B of Highgate paper as a base for my layout. Then, I tore my second paper, Bourbon Ave, and I placed it on my background in order to let see that the center of the first paper.

My Title ''Fly'' is embossed with Lavender Eggs .
All the others chipies are embossed with Ivory embossing powder.
At the moment when I designed this layout, BFS was no longer cutting chipboards ...
Happy news!!! They are back!!
Under my picture I placed 3 whole Spring Peony flowers. They are very big, BUT very beautiful!

A piece of lace 5 ( flowers and foliages only ) that I've inked and a
butterfly (from Butterflies Stamp ) stamped on acetate make a beautiful embellishment.

With the petals of Spring Peony I made new flower buds.

From the paper East Plaza ( Courtship Lane ) I cutted a tiny house... She's so cute!
3 Littles flowers cutted in the lace 4

*Enjoy Journey*( In the Mood )

This is my favorite project of the month. I started on the reverse of wooden canvas.
On the background, I stuck a piece of  side B Mellow paper. I used only the center of it.
Then I stamped before gluing pieces of Quilted Page Panel firstly painted with white gesso and partially embossed with Pink Dust embossing powder.
Thereafter, begins the decoration of the canvas.

Several layers ... Starting with the title, Journey is embossed with Ivory embossing powder.
Below the title, a Royal Monarch embossed with two colors : Oatmeal and Pink Dust.
In these two embossing powder we find the same gold shining. Really pretty colors!

I used Lace 10 as a tiny flowers everywhere on my layout. I just added a small bead in the center.
I also used Gold Nugget and Mauve seedlings to add a bling bling style...

The Moody Florals Flowers ... are'nt they lovely?! I used only this flowers everywhere on my layout, like a flowered branch through my deco.

*It's The Little Moments ... *
( In The Mood )

Initially I did'nt want to make this project a canvas, but I had difficulty with the large untouched space. So I decided to cut the top of my paper ( In The Mood, Flirty ) and stick it on a canvas. The two parts are separated by a piece of  white Lace !0.

I really like using quotes on my canvas and the Printed Chipboards of
 the Remnants collection are perfect for that.

A small frame from the Ironworks Accents simply painted. Inside, a piece of book paper embossed with Ginger embossing powder and Remnants Collage Stamp.On my flowers, Spring Lilies and Garden Blooms I added Glass seedlings, like little drops of water.

Firstly embossed in Pixie Dust, I decided to emboss this vintage label with Baby pink embossing powder... I don't know what I did for finish with a red side ... but I find it very pretty! LOL

April inspirations by Jennifer Jacques

Hello all Blue Fern Fans,

It's my turn again here on the blog, with my April inspirations.
 I chose to work with three different collections this time.

First of all, a layout with a 2018 collection, Remnants.

Beaumont (b-side) paper was used as my background paper.  You can see it on the left.  On the right, this is Devonshire that I've used.  As I layered that particular part on a scrap of cardstock, I can tuck some Lace 4 pieces under it to add some details between the two papers.  You can also see the beautiful Blacksand embossing powder on my fairy chippie.

Finally, look at those beautiful BFS flowers 💕

The two white ones with the pearl inside are from Remnants Florals and 

the yellow one, above my picture, is in the Fresh Florals set. 

I added some flairs and some diecuts leaves with the flowers and that was it for that layout!

Embossing Powder: Blacksand

Lace: no 4

Flowers: Remnants florals and Fresh florals

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

For my second layout, Garden life was the collection that have inspired me.

Sun kissed (b-side) is the paper that I've had a crush on this time.  I applied some clear gesso, some texture paste through a stencil and then, some pigment powders to enhance my focal point.

After all my mediums was dry, I stamped here and there with Departure Stamp that is perfect for vacation themed layouts.

I layered my two pictures on a tag made with In Bloom paper.  

Under that, a piece of Flower bed paper.

I also add in my clustering some flowers made out of vellum paper and embossed with Snow embossing powder.  On the right corner, I displayed some cute BFS flowers from Garden blooms and Fresh florals

Beside, the title is a chippie from Arrow words set, 

embossed with Ebony powder.

Really love that pinky layout: did you?

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

Finally, my favorite layout for this month.

With one of my favorite Blue Fern collection of all time: Happy Accident!

The paper named Chance is my background here.  I applied some clear gesso, some modeling paste through a stencil and added some watercolor effect with sprays.  I made 2 tags with Layerings cards paper to display my picture on.

See that beautiful color on my title?

It's Coral embossing powder and I'm in looooooove with it!  

On the next pictures, you will see a lot of Blue Fern Studios flowers.

The peach one is from Chesterville blooms and I admit that I've split it in two parts: on the left higher corner under my picture and a smaller part that I've rolled on itself on the opposite.  

Two beautiful Dark tropic blue lilies and a white burlap from Remnants blooms beside the picture.  On the right side, another white one (with a flair in her middle) and a pink one from Moody florals.

Here and there. some black stamping with Swiss dots to add details on that background.

As final touches, some fussycut Butterflies, some pearls, 

some white gesso splatters and that's all for this Sourire layout.

April Inspiration by Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today to share my April layouts.  Seeing as Spring has just begun I got to thinking about all the beautiful colors of the flowers that will come into bloom and drew from that to create my projects.  I have two layouts using the In The Mood collection and one using the Homespun collection.

"Hushed"

This layout features the In The Mood collection.  I used the Amused paper for the background.  I applied some masking using an apricot paste.  Lots of layering under the photo using the Mellow paper.

I really like the mixture of embossing powder on the floral chipboard.  I mixed Blood Orange and Ivory.  The foliage is a mixture of Seafoam and Green Ivory. The flowers are Apricot Blooms.

Lots of layering with chipboard and here I've placed a flower from the Chesterville Florals.

Another closeup of the mixture of Blood Orange and Ivory embossing powders.

I used the same mixture of Blood Orange and Ivory embossing powders on the title.  Lots of layering under the photo with chipboard and flowers.

"Adore"

This layout also features the In The Mood collection. The background paper is Flirty, and I used Blissful and Mellow to created layers under the photo.  I added some stamping to the background with the Tattered Newsprint and Essential Textures stamps.

I first applied some light pink paste to the background using a rose stencil.  After applying the paste, I sprinkled it with some Pink Pearl Glitter.  The chipboard pieces were embossed with a mixture of Baby Pink and Iridescent Gray embossing powders.   I applied a mixture of Sterling Silver and Mauve Seedlings to the chipboard, flowers and background paper.

The lantern chipboard piece was embossed with a mixture of Iridescent Gray and Pearl embossing powders.  The flowers are from Moody Florals, Moody Blooms and Remnants Florals.

The title was embossed with Baby Pink embossing powder.

My third layout uses the Homespun collection.  I used the Tea Time paper on the background.

Lots of layering under the photo using the Homespun Printed Chipboard and Picturesque (side b), Homespun Minis, Calling Cards and Crafty papers.

All of the chipboard pieces were embossed with a mixture of Pretty In Pink, Baby Pink and Ivory embossing powders.  I stamped some flowers and embossed them with Baby Pink and fussy cut them.  I used a couple of flowers from the Moody Blooms.

The title was embossed with Baby Pink and if you look to the right of the photo you can see the stamped and embossed flowers.

"Adorable"

Hi everyone!  My first project I would like to share with you is titled "Adorable".  This is my grandpa's picture of Shirley Temple when he was stationed at Hawaii.  I used the Memoires Collection paper for my background along with the Photographic Record paper and Calling Cards paper to layer behind the photograph.

I sprinkled Twig seedlings over matte gel and a stencil.  Here you can also see that I used two pieces of Lace 12 behind the photo and the paper layers.

The long chipboard piece is the Destiny Collage chipboard that I originally embossed with Black Gold embossing powder for a different project but changed my mind (lol).  So over that embossing powder, I embossed the chipboard with Pure Red and Seven Seas embossing powders.  Using the Crackle Textures stamp, I embossed the areas with Ivory embossing powder.

For the Adorable chipboard title and the Bits of Honey chipboard pieces, I used brown distress ink to color the pieces then used the Crackle Textures stamp with Dark Chocolate embossing powder over areas of the chipboard.  The small blue flowers are from the Chesterville Blooms set.  In several areas around the page, I sprinkled a bit of Russett glitter and Blue Ice glitter over matte gel.

And finally, you can see a close-up of the Bits of Honey chipboard and the piece of Lace 12.

Here is the list of products I used:

"In the Mood"

For my second project this month I stepped outside my comfort zone and tried a shabby chic canvas.  I used a ton of Blue Fern Studios products from this collection for the canvas!  

The main heart on the canvas is the Blissful paper from the In the Mood Collection.  The red frame and black heart to the top left of the canvas are Printed Chipboard pieces from the In the Mood Collection.  The design on the black heart is the Penned Flourishes stamp embossed with Pure Red embossing powder.

Lace 3B is the black lace that I embossed with Black & Gold embossing powder.  The circle floral frame was also embossed with the Black & Gold embossing powder.  Lace 12 is at the top left of the canvas and very elegant.  

Beating Heart and Gold Nugget seedlings were applied with matte gel over some cheesecloth.  I used a stencil with glass bead gel to the top left side of the canvas then sprinkled some Mocha glitter over the design.

The large white rose in the center of the cluster is from the Garden Blooms set, while the pink flowers are from the Moody Florals set.

To fill in spots on my canvas I used some old roses from my stash and put gesso on the tips and sprinkled with Rose Gold glitter.

Here are the products I used:

"Perfect"

My final project this month is a very basic layout using some of the the In the Mood Collection along with other collections.  The background paper is Amused from the In the Mood Collection.  I created the background with modeling paste, stencil, and black spray stain.  Then I stamped it with the Tattered Newsprint stamp.

The two white roses are from the Garden Blooms set and the other flowers are from the Apricot Blooms set.  For each flower on the page, I used matte gel on the tips of the flowers and sprinkled Mocha glitter on the tips.  For the Apricot Blooms, I removed the flower stamens and replaced them with a pearl using matte medium then sprinkled Gold Nugget seedlings around the pearls.

To go along with the glitter theme, I used Black & Gold embossing powder as part of the matting behind the photo.  Under the picture the Lace 10 adds a nice soft touch to the layout.

The Lattice Panel chipboard and Perfect chipboard title were first coated in gesso, then I painted them with a very concentrated white acrylic paint.  Finally, I used the Crackle Textures stamp with Coral embossing powder to add interest to the chipboard.

Here are the products I used for this layout:
