Love Story Layouts with Angelica

Hello Friends! Today I'd like to share with you three layouts I created with the Love Story Collection.  I've made seven layouts thus far with this collection. I can't get enough...I just love it!

For my first project I made a masculine page.  When going for those boy pages I prefer not to use flowers. So embellishing is a little light than my usual. I layered the Film Strips and used the chippy Handsome for the title. I did a small bit of a mixed media background using mist and molding paste. I did some light distressing on the Amazing Heart, Twenty One and True Harmony papers.  I used the Love Story: Stamp 2 .

After doing the masculine page I wanted to go back to girly...lol! Here I used the Floral Clock and Dreams Come True Chippys. My little one was Cinderella a couple of years back and I thought the Grand Ball paper was a perfect fit. I did some stamping with the Forever Stamp.

For my last page I picked the title Angel Eyes from the Spiritually Speaking set.  I also used the Ironworks Accents. I did paper layering use four different sheets: Concerto, Calling Cards, True Harmony and  Amazing Heart.

Thank you for taking a peek at my March projects! I hope that I've inspired you!

Bright & Colorful- By Keren Tamir

"Love you"

Here is my first project for the month of March. It's a bright and colourful Mixed Media project using a photo of my daughter as an anchor.

The background paper is Ombré Dreams from Blue Fern Studios.

I used hexagon shapes to create the pattern in the background. First, I masked with a hexagon stencil. Then I stamped with the new Blue Fern Studios hexagon patterned stamp. Finally, I added Hexagon bits chipboard pieces around the photo.

The chipboard bits were painted in two different shades of purple/fuchsia and then doodled on with a white marker.

You can see all the Hexagon patterns in this picture below.

"Shine"

This is also a bright and colourful layout but with a different color scheme.

The background paper is also from the Ombré Dreams Collection. I find this collection very versatile to use when you want to create bright and colourful projects.

I used a photo of myself and framed it in the new round butterfly frame which I personally designed. 

I love butterflies so I love being surrounded by them.

This was a picture my husband took of me during a beautiful sunset. I thought that I should also create a similar matching theme on this layout.

First, I created a stencilled background to mimic the sun rays from the picture.

Then I used the Butterfly frame as it has a sun-like appearance. I covered it in yellow and orange chalk ink.

Finally, I used three new Radiant chipboard Suns, which I painted in gold and then sprinkled with gold glitter. I loved using them as it continued on with the sun-filled theme. 

Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog

Have a wonderful day!!

Mixed media on canvas, video, and two cards from Elena

Hi everyone! 

Elena Morgun here and today I have a mixed media canvas and two cards to share with you.

"Best of times"

Blue Fern chipboard is very dense that's why creating a mixed media project using it gives so much pleasure. One can cover it with water-based paints and not be afraid for damaging this chipboard.
My grandmother with her father are in the photo. Simple love this image!

Here is the canvas:

Some close-ups:
