March projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans.

The spring has sprung and Vera is here hurrying to show you layers of fresh inspiration. I would like to present  projects using the new Spring Parade collection and one more wedding layout with amazing Heartland.

Spring parade is so perfect for Easter layouts and decor and this is just the right time to start preparations for the holiday. I have created a layout which I'm planing to use as home decor on Easter.  Flowers make the scene rich and natural and the characters add some fairy look.

Floral lattice bits and the header are covered with Icicle and Lavender eggs embossing powders plus some white acrylic paint.

I used one of Vintage phrases stamp for the little journalling.

How I love to use texture stamps with embossing powder on background. Leafy Florals stamp with Icicle powder adds some dimention to the whole composition.

In the layers of fussy cut flowers you may find roses from Rose Bouquet chipboard covered with Icicle embossing powder. And I used the Charmed Page Dangle covered with Fire brick glitter as the header.

Seeing Stars by Edith Cloutier

It has been such a joy to have Edith Cloutier as our Blue Fern Fan of the Month.  It's easy to see from her enthusiasm that she really has a love for creating with Blue Fern products.  As we wrap up her time with us by showing off her fourth layout today, we want to give Edith a BIG THANK YOU from all of us!  We hope you will leave some love for Edith, too!  

Here is Edith to tell you all about her layout, "Seeing Stars"

I like to use Blue Fern Studios paper to make my layout's background because their beautiful patterns give a lot of style to my creations.  Their thickness is also perfect when using many mediums.  For this layout, I used the "Bretton" paper from the Chesterville collection.

As you may have noticed, I like to work with modeling paste with watercolor to do my background.  Also, I have a big crush for the "Tattered Newsprint" stamp.  I use it on practically all my layouts now.

I used the "Seeing Stars" chipboard with some embossing powder.  The Blue Fern glitter is perfect to add a special touch with micro beads and mica flakes.

And finally, no layout is complete without flowers!

March projects for Lydia Guijt!

Hello Blue Fern Studios friends! 

Lydia Guijt here again with some new creations for March.

My first layout will be accompanied with a tutorial. You'll find that below.

For my second feature I've made something completely different. I hope you'll like it.

Memories

The new Spring Parade Collection has a beautiful color combination. For this layout I chose the Susie's Garden sheet.

 For my background I started off using the Tattered Harlequin stamp for embossing and the Tattered News Print stamp for inking. After this I used a stencil and paste. After the background work is done I prepared the chipboard pieces. 

Crossing the Lines with Speckled Mint and some Peacock Feathers. Wild Field Stem with Lavender Eggs on the flower part and Verdant with some sprinkling of Antique Gold. The same process for the Leafy Twigs. The title Memories - Chunky Words Halftone was done in Pink Dust. Once that was all done it was time to assemble the layout. I used the new Spring Peonies and Late Winter Lilies in my flower cluster. To finish off the page I added some further touches. 

Below you'll find the video with the whole process of making this layout. 

Enjoy!

Follow your Heart

For my second project I wanted to do something different. 

Our Blue Fern Studios Chipboard is so nice and sturdy, it's perfect to use for Mixed Media projects.

I got a double sided canvas and tore out the center to open it up. I used pastes and stencils to created textures on the outside and center part. Once it was all dry I started with the Shabby Bits Bricks Chipboard pieces as the bast to build the center part on. 

Using other materials like cardboard and metal embellishments stacking and tucking in and under to create interest and textures. On one of the top layers a couple of Leafy Page Accents. Around the edges I used the Note book Edges and having the Layering Stems fall over the edges.

With all the items in place and stuck down it was time to paint everything with black gesso. Once that was all dry it's time paint on all the the accents. The Follow your Heart title was first embossed and further highlighted with some acrylics and pastes.

Spring Greetings

For the last project this month I decided to make a set of cards using the new Spring Parade collection.

I started of with cutting different sizes of paper and played around with them creating a layered look. Once it was right I started filling it in with some doilies and some lace. For the Easter card I used one of the Easter Egg Ornaments and embossed it with Lavender Egg. Giving it some extra glitter with Peacock Feathers. The Spring card has a Spring Trinkets chipboard piece and is treated the same way. 

To finish off the cards I used Later Winter Lilies and Soft Blossoms and some other decorations. The final touches were some mist splatters and we're all done with our card set.
