Halloween project from Yuko

Hello!every one.

Atmosphere of the world is completely Halloween!

Blue Fern Studios 's paper is not suitable for Halloween?

No! The layout of such Halloween was made with coloring 

and a gorgeous chipboard. 

【HAPPY HALLOWEEN】

The cardboard of this frame colors it with resin sand,

 gesso,acrylic paints, crackle paint.

 I used gelatos, acrylic paints for the coloration of the background.

The cardboard of the title applied crackle paint from the colored top.

I like a delicate pattern of this paper very much.

So I left it if I added texture with modeling paste only a little in the background.

Projects from our Creative Team

Since it's the weekend, we thought it would be nice to give you some inspiration from our Creative Team.  You will notice that each of these layouts began with a white or very pastel background.  Some designers chose to stay with a light or pastel color scheme, and others used dramatic color against the background.  Either way, you're going to want to give this a try!

If this is a style you haven't used for a while, we hope you will take inspiration from one of these layouts and create a project beginning with a white or pastel background, and build color from there.  Enjoy your weekend!

colors and pastels 3 LO by Olga

Hello !

Lately I often use yellow. Lots of yellow. In this work I use Ups and Downs Panel and arrows from it. I use combination of sweet photo of my little dude :) As title I use sentence from Optimist Word Set and some Filmstrips.

For this one I use one of my summer nature pictures .  I used here Checker bits and Jeweled page dangles as elements and Dream Big sentence from Optimist set as title.  Dangle is covered with glitter I really like this look that transparent glitter gives on works ! I used also BFS papers from Ombre dreams collection

Here I also used summer photo and soft pastel colors from Ombre dreams. I really love this collection!
One of Capture Words sentences is title of my work . one graduated circle and one of pettie butique frames fill up my composition.

Video Tutorial with Adrienne Ford

Hello Everyone! 

Adrienne here, stopping in for a share of my latest video for Blue Fern Studios! I was incredibly inspired to create with this photo of my son. I always love adding a little bit of playful interaction between photo and chipboard mixed in with some seriously bold color. I really love how the Grunge Shooting Stars are placed as if they are shooting from his back. The colors I have added to this are bold and vibrant. They add so much to the already gorgeous chipboard!

So go get your brightest acrylics and sparkles and get ready for my October Video- Smile!

'Memories' by Lisa Griffith

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans! 

I hope this post finds you all well....

I had so much fun creating this layout using some beautiful fall colors and 

pretty Blue Fern Studios chipboards and papers.

'Memories'

I started with the paper 'Timeless' from the Blue Fern Garden collection. I created the background by  masking with texture paste and then used watercolors to paint some browns, oranges and golds.

I used the title chipboard called 'Memories' and also added pieces of the 'Wild Flourish Bundle'.

My second project is a card I made for a friend.

Here I started with the paper 'Leslie's Dream' from the 'Ombre Dreams' collection as my base and glued some pieces of the chipboard 'Turkish Panel'. Then I added my flowers and did some painting on the background with yellow and pink watercolors.

My third project for this month was a layout using the October sketch 

designed by Michele Singh for the Blue Fern Studios October sketch challenge.

Here is the sketch for October...you still have time to enter! There is a wonderful prize pack 

of new chipboard to be won!

I hope you have enjoyed my projects this month....

Until next time...
