July Inspiration by France Ringuette

Hi fellow Blue Fern Fans, today will be my last series for Blue Fern Studio. Due to some unexpected work changes, I am required to do lots of business travel, this is has the impact of reducing my craft time and I've had to make the heartbreaking decision to leave the amazing Blue Fern Studio creative team. I hope this last production will inspire you with the amazing Blue Fern Studio Products.

Layout #1: Travel

My first layout this month is inspired by the amazing Tattered Wall grunge feel paper of The Garage. It is amazingly perfect for making boy layouts, I just fell in Love with this paper.

Have you seen this new Azul embossing powder? It is spectacular. Perfect mix of turquoise and silver.

The ephemera are so much fun to use, it makes the perfect small elements around your picture.

Layout #2: Love

Oh what can I say, it's so easy to be inspired when you get the chance to work with an amazing baby photo like my friend's daughter, she is just adorable. Happy Accident remains one of my favorite collections. I love the detailed print on this background. On this layout, I wanted to created a soft vintage feeling so I opted to play with lots of flowers and embossed chipboard.

Frame chipboards are my favorites, I love using them under my pictures to create dimension. Embossed in rose gold, this one gives the softness I was looking for with a twist of shimmer.

Touched of Lace add to the delicate feeling of the page

I love this flower with a pearl center, just perfect. I also enjoy adding lace in my layering of the flowers.

On this dangle chipboard, I opted to use 2 different embossing powders : Baby Pink & 14 karat

Sweet Sweet Sweet baby, I just love this amazing picture of my friend's son Jack. This layout was just too fun to do. 

The Tranquility collection was just what I needed, it breaths calm and tranquil, perfect for this baby picture.

The Widget stamp is so much fun for a boy layout, I just enjoy the gears. I also enjoy embossing on my layout,

A bit a lace, a few flowers and the delicate ornaments are a perfect touch for this baby boy layout.

July Inspiration with Debbie Burns

Hi everyone!  Can't believe it's July already. The months just seem to fly by in a flash. Hope you are enjoying your summer.   I have 3 layouts to share with you today featuring the Tattered Walls and Wanderlust collections.  Let's start with the newest of the collections, Tattered Walls.  I love how versatile this collection is.  I created one layout with a current photo and another with a treasured family vintage photo.

"Cherish"

I used Carport (side B) for the background, and applied some pearl bordeaux mist and grey ink splatters.

I sprayed pieces from Lace 4 with a Precious Stone mist.  Beneath the picture I placed the Embellished Frame chipboard, embossed with Iris embossing powder.

I used the Precious Stone Mist on some lilies from Dark Tropic Lilies.  Tucked beneath the dark lilies I placed roses from Courtship Roses and some light purple lilies from Spring Lilies.  Red Grape and Lavender Seedlings were applied randomly on the flowers and around the photo.

Placed beneath the photo I added some fussy cut flowers from the Carolina Room Paper.  The title "Cherish" is from the Remnants printed chipboard.

"Memories"

The background paper is The Sun Room.  I applied some masking and paint splatters.  Layering beneath the photo is from The Library, The Maids Room and pieces from the Ephemera packet.  I placed the Stone Cottage chipboard beneath the photo and left it untreated.

Lots of flowers from Spring Lilies, Wanderlust Lilies, Wanderlust Vines and Moody Blooms.  I added some Dijon Glitter to the centers of the butterflies and art stones and Lemonade Seedlings on the flowers. 

Another closeup of the flowers.

The title is untreated.  Love how it blends with the papers and embellishments.

"Calm"

 My final layout features the Wanderlust Collection.  I used Ocean Voyage (Side B) for the background.    For layering beneath the photo l used Souvenir (Side B).  I used the Tattered Newsprint Stamp and added some paint spatters in various colors.

Beneath the layering I used the Quatrefoil Panel chipboard which I treated with some brown stain. I added some Gold Nugget and Aquamarine Seedlings.

Flowers are from  Wanderlust Lilies, Tranquil Blooms and Memories Blooms.  The Leafy Twig chipboard was embossed with Taupe embossing powder.

Here I've used a round calendar piece from The Wanderlust Printed Chipboard.  The doily was cut from Seascape Side B. The leaves are from the Forest Branch Chipboard.  I stained them brown and added some gold wax.

The title was stained brown .

June Inspirations by Yuko

Hello!
Today is my turn!
I would like to introduce three of my projects in June.

<Sweet as Honey>

I used Blue Fern Studios' HOME SPUN collection.

This collection is too cute and easy to use!

I used embossed powder named HONEY for the title.

Before melting it really looks like honey

It is a powder with a little orangeish color

Melt and into a gold like this.

There are many kinds in the same gold though

HONEY is like gold that is close to orange.

＜LOVE＞

I used a nostalgic Blush collection here.
Recently there are many cool paper images
I want you to put out such an elegant one again!

I cut out many patterns of paper and pasted it with a height difference.

I attached a glitter (marine) to the leaves pulled out with the die.

Textured with modeling paste on top

I scattered seedlings (winter green) and put it.

Seedlings include mats, metal, things with transparency etc.

There are various kinds.

This is a type with a sense of transparency.

There is a transparent feeling and it is beautiful !
