March projects by Wendy Scholten

Hello everyone,
Today is my turn on the Blue Fern Studios Blog with my march projects.
I made 3 layouts, one with the chesterville collection and two with the new Spring Parade collection.

So let's start with the one from the Chesterville Collection called:

"Adorable"

I just love this picture of our little girl, she was only 10 months here.
I made this layout with the Whitford papers, i used the backside for my background and a piece from the front of the paper to place behind my photo.
 Don't you just love those papers, you can use them for every subject.
I embossed the chipboard pieces Textured Wildflowers, Memory Frames, one of the bohemian flowers and the word Adorable with the: iris, vintage gold and sand&sea embossing powders.
 To give the background a bit more texture i used the Essential Textures Stamp, that's all it really needed.
 I also used a lot of the gorgeous flowers : Heartland Blossoms, Courtship roses and the Dark Tropic Lilies
 I used a few things from my own stash: baubles, lace, berries, small beads in different colors and just a little bit of paint.

Now for the Second one, this features the gorgeous new Spring Parade collection.
This is such a beautiful, bright paper collection that  really feels like spring, although you can use it for anything!

This one i called:

"Dazzling"

For this one i used the June paper as my background, and a stencil with some moddeling paste and oil pastels to color the background. Behind my photo i used a piece of the Susie's garden paper, i also fussy cutted a lot of flowers from that paper.
 First i embossed the Janie's Fram Chipboard piece with the Lilac and the new Lavender Egg's embossing powders,
 I placed the frame and the fussy cut flowers behind my photo frame and decided i wanted to turn the picture a bit to the side to give it a different effect.
 i placed some rhinestones in and around my frame to give it a bit of sparkle.
  The title Dazzling i embossed with the lavender Egg's and Fern Embossing powders to let it stand out a bit more.
 i used a few little flowers, lace, a sticker and rhinestones from my own stash tot complete this layout.

 For the background i used a stencil with some moddeling paste as well as oil pastels for some color. I also used the tattered newsprint stamp with snow embossing powder to give my background some texture.
 I chose the Spring Bunny Frame, Spring Trinkets and the title Cute stuff from the Good vibes set for my chipboards, i embossed the spring bunnies frame with lilac embossing powder, the spring trinkets with Lavender Egg's and Speckled mint embossing powders.

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.

I love making gifts and for Easter I have created a couple of gift baskets. They can be filled with sweets, pies or chocolate eggs.

Each basket is made just of one sheet of paper.


Layers are built of fussy cut elements, Blooming Foliage bits covered with Lime embossing powder, ribbons and Chesterville florals

I keep on making my wedding album and today I'm gonna show you layout about the beautiful bride (me) :)  Heartland collection drives me crazy with its beauty and variety of flowes.

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.
