November projects with Kerryn Lawson

Hello!  Kerryn here today to share how I have used some of my favourite Blue Fern Studios chipboard pieces.

First up today is a mini canvas.  This cutie is about 2 1/2" square and was the perfect size for one of the pieces from the Bits of Honey set.

After the Bits of Honey piece had been adhered to the canvas both the canvas and the chipboard were primed with gesso then it was a case of building layers with different shades of blue/green mists.  By spraying the mists at different heights and with different hand movements you can still achieve a fun range of colour despite the small canvas size.

Two pieces from the 2 Hearts set were layered together and given a similar treatment but this time with pink/peach mists.  To finish the very ends of the wings were teased apart to add dimension with gauze added underneath for even more texture.

The second project I would like to share today is a card featuring a gorgeous Brigitte butterfly. 

The base for the butterfly was a Circle motif which was primed with gesso and painted off white to better match the papers I had chosen.  The butterfly was painted in shades of pink and orange, pulled from the background paper.  After being primed with gesso the butterfly was coated with Shimmerz paint in Marigold before a combination of pink and orange gelatos were blended over the top to add graduated colour.

Cute stuff

I like to make my own backgrounds for my layouts, and this time I made a step by step mini-tutorial on how you can do it, and how to use and include chipboard on your background.

(Sorry for bad pictures, and some of the colors is wrong...)

1. Gather your supply. I used:
- Mod Podge
- Modeling paste
- Palette knife
- torn paper with different textures
- heat tool
- Canvas or cardstock
- Shabby brick panel
- Some chipboard leftovers

2. Use Mod podge to glue down the paper, in 3-4 layers.

3. When you are done gluing on paper, put on some chipboard. 

 4. I have cut out a piece of the 12x12" Shabby brick panel, and are using it as a stencil. 

 5. Put on modeling paste, a thick layer. 

 6. To create texture use the palette knife and tap it over det modeling paste before removing the chipboard. 

 7. Remove the brick chipboard, and use the heat tool to dry.
Place the brick chipboard over a new area of the layout, and repeat step 5-7. 

 8. After the modeling paste is dry, choose one or two colorsprays of choice and spray it over the modeling paste. After dyring, you can stamp over with a stamp, to create more texture.
Now the background is finish. 

Here is the end result, I hope you like it :)
