Tags by Joyce


Hello everyone, today I'm sharing a few tags with you.  The BFS Roman Clock Set comes in three sizes in one package.  The smallest of the three is just perfect for a tag or card. Here the clock looks a little weathered with some molding paste applied around the circumference of the clock. I am already looking forward to using the remaining two clock chipboard pieces on future creations.

The last tag was created using the Juliana’s Dream page from the Ombre Dream paper collection and one of the Layering Stems chipboard collection. Here a little textured product was applied on top of the chipboard and then misted and painted.

Thank you for stopping by and visiting us, and remember there’s still time to submit your take on the July Sketch Challenge.  Here’s my take on the sketch using the Susan's Dreams paper from the Ombre Collection....the perfect pattern placement that is made a part of the paper did all the work for me:

Three cards by Evgenia

Hello dear friends! its Evgenia Petzer with you today and I made three cards for you, all of them use Ombre Dreams collection and all of them have something in common, i like to make series of cards and hope that you will get inspired as well.

The first one uses Brigitte Butterfly Set, i coloured them with gesso first and then applied silks paint on it. I think its my favorite out of these three.


 All the sentiments on all three cards are alss from Ombre dreams papers, the second card uses: Symphony Border, Petite Windows.
The chipboard is colored with pearl paint by Martha Stewart. I reaaly like that apple shape for the cards.

and the last one for today, I love that Symphony border chipboard and i often cut it in smaller pieces.

Three cards by Marie-Josée

Hello all!

Today, I am featuring three cards that I created with the Ombré Dreams collection. Here they are!

For the first card, I used the Shannon's Dream and Joyce's Dream papers.

 
I also used two pieces of chipboard, a piece of the Layering Stems (altered with Silks Acrylic Glazes) as well as the Country Picket Fence (altered with Gelatos). I cut the fence because it was too big for my card.
 

For the second card, once again, I used the Shannon's Dream and Joyce's Dream papers.

I also used two pieces of chipboard, a piece of the Berry Stems set as well as a piece from the Little Baskets set. Both were altered with mists.



For the third card, I used the Charlotte's Dream and Shannon's Dream papers. I also used the Village Sign Post chipboard, altered with Silks Acrylic Glazes.

3 colourful layouts

Hi =) Maja here today to inspire you Blue Fern lovers with some layouts. I made three using both the new "Ombré Dreams" and the "Blue Fern Garden" papers for my projects. I love the watercolor effect on "Ombre Dreams" which goes so well with Distress Inks and stencils. It gives even more depth to the paper.

My first layout is of my son swimming in the pool. Here I have used a circle stencil with three differnt colors of Distress Ink. I also used a circle stiched stamp.




I have treated the chipboard pieces with Gelatos and Stickles. 


Blue Fern Products used:
Papers: Ombre Dreams - Susan´s Dream, Dream Cards 
Chipbord: Wild Florish Frame, Spring Trinkets


My next layout is also one made with Ombre Dreams using Distress Inks and Stencils. I have also used a couple of stamps.




Here I have treated my chipboard pieces with Gelatos, Silks and Primas chalk.


Blue Fern products:
Papers: Ombre Dreams - Joyce`s Dream, Dream Cards
Chipboard: Layering Steams, Mixed Chains 


For my third and last layout I´ve used the Blue Fern Garden and also here a stencil and Distress Ink.




Here I have treated the chipbords with white Gesso and Prima chalk. On the bigger chipboard piece I also used white Embossing Enemal.


Blue Fern products:
Papers: Blue Fern Garden - Signature, Picnic
Chipboard: All Natural Set, Damask Motif

Two Paper Collections, Two Layouts

Hi everyone!  It's Valerie Serfozo today to share a couple of layouts with you.  Blue Fern Studios has two beautiful paper collections, and I have selected paper from each line.  For the first layout I have used the Boudoir paper from the Blue Fern Garden Collection.  I then selected the Roman Clock Small Set and Organic Vine chipboard pieces.  When I use multiple chipboard pieces, I generally like to alter them differently.  But in this case, I chose to make them all the same color,


I gave them all a coat of gesso, then used ink to color them.  As you can see below, I like the coverage to be a little less than perfect.  It adds a little character.  I cut the Organic Vine in half and used it in two places on my layout.


The largest piece from the Roman Clock and the other half of the Organic Vine

The smallest piece from the Roman Clock Set

For my second layout, I selected Leslie's Dream from the Ombré Dreams Collection.  It is one of my favorites with a combination of orange and yellow in the background.  This time, I treated each piece of chipboard a little differently.


Here I used one of the Techno Rings as a small accent.  I coated it with gesso, and used Distress Stain to color it.

Staying with the circle theme, I added a piece from the Circle Groups.  This time I painted it with Distress Paint, then added some Inka Gold on top of that.  The paint is barely visible, but it does peak out a little bit here and there.  I also chose to fill in the circles with some embellishments.

And here is the beautiful Dream Big word title chipboard piece.  Ink was applied to achieve the color I wanted.

The choice is totally up to you when you create your project with chipboard pieces, because you are the one deciding which colors to use, whether it be several different colors, or all the same.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Enjoy your weekend.
