Montage Inspiration by Keren Tamir


Keren here and I'm happy to be on the Blue Fern Studios blog once again.

I've created two different types of projects today so I hope you enjoy them!!

Altered Clock Canvas


Below is a step by step video on how I created this OTP clock:



I covered a circular canvas with the "Society" paper from the new Montage Collection.
Then I used the large Roman clock chipboard to create this clock.


I used different coloured flowers and two small chipboard birds to decorate around it.


The chipboard was distressed with crackle paste and paint.

My Happy Life


I used the "Invitation" paper from the new Montage collection to design this layout. I loved the central theme of the background and therefore, I tried to create vertical movement on the page.


After designing the colourful background I framed my photo in the ornate chipboard frame that was embossed in white. You can see the texture of the frame below.


I added flowers and leaves under the frame to embellish the page. I tried to maintain the central/vertical theme in the layout.


Finally I used a word from the valentine word set and couple of words from the chunky word set (the word life, was cut from the word lifetime in the set). All the words were embossed to match the frame.



Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog today.

Have a wonderful day!!

Three projects with the new Montage collection!

Hello folks!

I hope you had a great summer and that you had lots of fun! I traveled for five weeks with my family in Western Canada and Alaska and we had a great time. When I came back, the new Montage collection was waiting for me at home. I was thrilled to find all this new paper to play with, along with new pieces of chipboard.

Here are the three projects I created with this brand new collection.

"Always Remember" 

For this layout, I used a picture of my daughter taken at beautiful Lake Louise in Banff National Park, Canada.

I used the brand new Triangle Eclipse chipboard, which I altered with black gesso.


I also used two different papers from the Montage collection, Now & Then and Fairyland. I used various pieces of both sides of the Now & Then paper behind the Triangle Eclipse chipboard. I used the Fairyland paper as a background for my chipboard and picture.


For my title, I used the Always Remember chipboard and the word Destination that I cut with my Silhouette.




"Adore"

For this layout, I used the Society paper as a background. I love it, because it doesn't need many embellishments. A bit of washi tape, modelling paste and mists and voilà! :)



For my title, I used a piece of the Adore, Love, Cherish chipboard set. I also used pieces of the Mini Flourishes chipboard set. All were altered with black gesso.



Angel canvas

For this canvas, I used the beautiful Mercantile paper for my background.



The chipboard I used is the Ornate frame. I altered it with gesso. I used my heat gun to dry the gesso to create texture. I also added a bit of brown mist.

New Montage collection with Maja

Hi, Maja here today to share two projects made with the gorgeous new Montage paper collection. I hava a layout and a tag that I made. Let´s start with the layout.

When I first saw this paper collection I knew what I would do with just this piece of paper when I got it in my hands. Love tha lamp that is in the paper and the BFS chipboard  "evening lamp post" works so well with it. So that was my plan and this is how it turned out. My color splashes are made with Distress Stains. For my chipboard pieces I used black and white gesso.





Blue Fern products used:
Paper: Montage - Bouquet & Invitation
Chipboard: Evening Lam Post, Bohemian Flowers & Roman Clock Set Small


Next is my tag. I love the romatic vintage feel of the Montage collection and that what I wanted to create in this tag.  




Blue Fern products used:
Paper: Montage - Bouquet, Fairyland & Society
Chipboard: Tattered Butterflies
