August projects by Tartine Peluche

Hi everyone!
I'm back today for share with you a few inspiration for the new collection''WANDERLUST'' from Blue Fern Studios, and also one layout from ''GARDEN LIFE''
Two wonderful collections!!!

PLAYGROUND

My first layout is created from the paper ''MOUNTAIN VIEW'' I used side B.

 At first I stamped several parts of the stamp '' DEPARTURE''
I put the accent on green and brown on my background to bring out my photo, unfortunately, we don't see very well, it was rather pale initially.

At the top of my page, I used WANDERLUST VINE and LACE 4 with a piece of WHIMSY FLOURISH chipboard to start my layout.
WHIMSY FLOURISH was embossed with HOT COCOA embossing powder.

I used a piece of LACE 3 to separate the background from my photo.

In order, starting from the bottom, we can see a piece of
WHIMSY FLOURISH embossed with HOT COCOA embossing powder.
Then a part of chipboard CORNER FLOURISH embossed with AVOCADO embossing powder
and on the top, under the picture, I used SWALLOW BORDER,
also embossed with  HOT COCOA embossing powder .
The small boat, it is I who did it, with some pieces of wood found outside.

I cut the title in two. I wanted to use both parts but I could'nt find

 the good place for the second piece. What gives only as title: PLAYGROUND.
I used the embossing powder SUMMER BREEZE.

Here is in close-up the effect rendered by this magnificent chipboard.

To finish this layout, here in close-up the flowers I used, from the kits WANDERLUST LILIES and WANDERLUST VINE.
We don't see very well but I put on all flowers a little bit of MELTED BUTTER glitter.

SETTING SAIL
For the second layout, I used side B of LAKESIDE paper.

For my background: white gesso, ink and glitter.
I maked flakes with RUSSETT glitter and I added just a little shiny with VINTAGE JADE glitter.
All this makes the LACE 4 more showy.

I used the chipboard NATURAL FRAME to accentuate my photo.
It was embossed with STORMY SKIES embossing powder.

We see more the chipboard NATURAL FRAME on this picture.
Let's talk about the majestic flowers ... I'm in love with the WANDERLUST LILIES flowers!!!

SETTING SAIL was embossed with HOT COCOA embossing powder.

Really beautiful color!!!

Here is a close-up of photo part.

To finish, I used patterned rings from WANDERLUST PATTERNED CHIPBOARD.

For the background, pieces of chipboard QUILTED PAGE PANEL, ink, modeling paste and white gesso ... a lot of gesso! to fade my colors ultra flash. I rarely use colors also showy...
Look like these beautiful flowers! They are from kit GARDEN BLOOMS.

WILD FLOURISH BUNDLE was embossed with BABY PINK embossing powder.

I used SUNLIGHT ROSE embossing powder on my piece of LAYERING STEMS chipboard and peach ATTIC CHARM DAISIES.

April projects by Lydia Guijt

Hello Blue Fern Studios and Paper Friends.

This month I have 3 very different layouts for you.

Two of them are with the beautiful Spring Parade Collection and the third one is with one of my favorite collections Chesterville. 

Let's get started

Discover

When we took this tour through the Grand Canyon this Sunset was just amazing. I knew I had to scrapbook it.

I'm using the Market Place paper as my base. The Tattered News Print Stamp right now is one of my favorite stamps and for this layout I used it to create some background interest. I chose one of my stencils and used paste to add more background details.

I wanted to use some straws for this layout to create a dramatic effect. The Turkish Bits pieces and Discover were embossed with Ebony embossing powder. 

The Layering Stems with Sea Mist embossing powder and topped with a layer of Caribbean Glitter. 

Behind my photo I put some smaller pieces from Spring Parade - Market Place and Sunday Best to create some layers. The straws already created some depth and helped with a nicely layered look. 

The beautiful Peony flower (Spring Peony and Berries) is quite big and is perfect to take apart and use in parts. Filling up the rest of the layout with some more flowers and embellishments. Some beads, micro beads and splatters to finish of the layout and we're all done.

Memories

For my second layout I'm going a little more classic. The base is Spring Parade - Sun Rise. Although in the corner it has an Easter theme. By covering it up. You can make it into whatever you chose it to be. I found the saying on Attic Charm - Calling Cards and went from there.

For the background I used the Tattered News Print Stamp to create interest around the page with Antique Gold Embossing Powder.

The Blooming Curls,  Whimsy Flourishes and Leafy Page Accents chipboard pieces all got embossed with Oatmeal embossing powder with the flowers on the Blooming Curls piece in Pink Dust.

I positioned all the pieces and started adding a variety of Blue Fern Studios flowers, Spring Florals, Soft Blossoms, Late Winter Lilies, together with some pieces of lace, ribbon and other embellishments. Some finishing touches with pearls, art stones and beads.

Journey

My third and last layout for this month is a more masculine layout using the Chesterville collection.
This collection is just perfect for layouts like this.

I used Chesterville - Keswick as the base and started preparing my page with clear gesso. Then used the Tattered News Print stamp around the page. Next I got out 2 stencils and a combination of pastes to create some interest. Since I'm going for a metallic look. I used gold, silver and graphite. Continuing with splatter inks. Now that the background is all done it's time to get the chipboard pieces prepared. 

Circuitry and Discovery are embossed in Sand and Sea with a sprinkle of  Antique Gold here and there. The Faucets in Black Sand. Putting it all together on the page creating some layers with Chesterville : Keswick, Chester pieces. Some flowers from the Chesterville Blooms, Harvest Lilies and other embellishments to complete the look.
