My very last projects By Kristine Henanger

Hi Everyone!
This is my very last post for Blue Fern Studios!
It has been an amazing journey and I have been so lucky to be a part of this talented team! 

Here is my December projects:
"Happy"

On this layout I used glimmermist, papers, chipboard leftovers, modeling paste and stencils to create my background. Then I put on the picture and title.
For this layout I used following chipboard pieces: Quatrefoil Panel, Mini Rings Panel

"Tullekopp"

On this layout I used a stencil and modeling paste to create the chevron pattern, and then I made a paper cluster with leftovers. Putting chipboard pieces under and between the papers.
For this layout I used following chipboard pieces: Broken rings, Mini ring things, Directions

"Memories"

 On this layout I mixed modeling paste and glimmermist and applied it where I wanted my "cluster" to be.
Then I put on chipboard, cheesecloth, and some bling.
For this layout I used following chipboard pieces: Screen Panel, Picture perfect, Memory Frame 

I hope you found some inspiration here today! :)

Decorated boxes by Yvonne Yam

Hello there. It's Yvonne Yam here to share my December projects with you. This month, I used my current fave Blue Fern Studios chipboard - Rings Panel and gold paint, to decorate two different boxes.

For the first box, I went the girly route by adding pearls and trim and the edges and used the Rings Panel chipboard to add a little texture and dimension to the lid of the box.

For my second box, I decided to create an ornate box because of the shiny foil patterned paper I used.

I added pearls to the Rings Panel chipboard for texture and drama. These panels were added to the top and sides of the lid.

Hope you've enjoyed the projects I've shared the last 6 months using the lovely chipboard from Blue Fern Studios. :)

Our Top 3 Features:

Stokely

Stokely WOWED us with this stunning, neutral-toned layout. She cut our Blooming Flourish in half, dressed it up with plenty of texture, and placed it beneath her photo. Thank-you for joining us this month, Stokely! We LOVED this!!

Caroleanne Wright

As much as we love dolled-up chipboard, we also love to see it in its natural state, and Caroleanne has done it perfectly here! We love the way our Chickenwire Panel was cut and how it cascades down as a backdrop for her title. Perfect!

Elizabeta Dimitrova

What perfect timing for a festive Christmas layout! We sure do love the treatment of our Twiggy Branch; perfect for a wintery feel! 

Thanks once again to everyone who played along this month! We hope to see you again :)

Be sure to check out the December Sketch Challenge if you haven't already!

It started with 2 pieces of Kraft paper...

 It's me, Lisa!! December is here!! I hope that everyone is getting into the holiday spirit!!! Well, with the hustle and bustle of the season, It may be a little difficult to find time to create. But Create I must, so I pulled out 2 pieces of 12x12 Kraft paper..After all, it is the color of chipboard. I covered them with gesso...Then the magic began...

 I created this layout as a gift for a dear friend who lost her husband this year.
I primed the Graduated Circles with gesso. Then painted them with acrylic glaze and dabbed some black paint over it when it was dry.

 I painted the By the Sea words with flat black acrylic paint.

  I always save the innards from my panels chipboard. The diamonds came from the Harlequin Page Panel. I glued them to the background and painted them with gesso to blend in, before I sprayed the whole page with mists.

  This next layout was totally inspired by Australian artist Di Garling. I just pulled some chipboard from my collection and got busy.

To adorn the Spring Branch, I covered it with some texture paste and let it dry. Then I painted it with acrylic glaze.

I painted the Doodle Flowers with acrylic glaze as well. I added a rhinestone to the middle of this one.

 
I painted and tucked some of the Doodle Flowers among the flower cluster.

Thank you for joining me today on the Blue Fern Studios Blog. Make sure you check back often to see the inspiration created by Design Team. You can join me on my blog for details, and the story behind the By The Sea layout.
