October inspiration by Pascale B.

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Blue Fern STudios blog with three new projects. For the first one, I worked with the new collection Homespun. I chose a view from the Monastery of Claregalway I've taken during my trip in Ireland. 


First I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I added a design with modeling paste and a stencil.


Then I colored the area with the design with different colors of watercolors. 


I primed the Garden Lattice with black gesso before coloring them with waxes.


I primed the Rose leaves with white gesso. Then I colored them with watercolors and sprinkled with the Black Sand and the Taupe embossing powders to add some texture.


I also colored the flowers with a light brown watercolor. I cut a few papers to add under the photo and I glued all the embellishments along with sisal.


To finish the layout I added Silver Sterling and Twig seedlings.

Here is my second October project for Blue Fern Studios. I use the new collection Homespun for this landscape of Connemara.


First I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I added a design with a stencil and clear crackle paste.


Then I colored the area with the design with watercolors and Mica Powders


I primed the Leafy Twigs with white gesso. Then I covered them with watercolors and added some Taupe embossing powder.


I covered the Crossing the Lines chipboard with white crackle paste.


I cut a few papers from the Wanderlust collection to add under the photo and I glued all the embellishments.


To finish the layout, I added some seedlings and glitter.

Here is my last October inspiration for Blue Fern Studios. This time I used the Vintage Christmas collection with a photo of the Xmas decoration from the castle of Chenonceau.


I primed the background with clear gesso. I cut a few pieces of papers in different sheets of the Vintage Christmas 1 collection. I glued them and added a thin layer of gesso.


Next, I used the Jingle Bells and the Christmas Collage stamps to add two different designs with the Taupe and the Goldilocks embossing powders. Next, I added some colors with different watercolor.


While the background was drying, I altered the frame with the Rust Effect paste. I primed the Holly Sprigs with clear gesso, then I colored them with watercolor. While the watercolor was still wet I sprinkled some embossing powders and heated set them.


I glued all the embellishments with a 3D gel along with mosses.


To finish the layout, I added some seedlings as well as glitter.
