Two layouts with the latest collections by Marie-Josée

Hello all,

Today I will show you two layouts I created with the most recent Blue Fern Studios collections, Paisley and Vine and Frolic!

"Love you my boy" layout - Paisley and Vine collection

This is my beloved rabbit, Garçon. He passed away suddenly on August 5th. :( It's the second time I lose a pet this year, so this hit me quite hard, and I wanted to do something to remember him, so I created this layout.

I used three different papers from the Paisley and Vine collection. I used the Splendor paper for my background. I cut pieces of the Pathway (teal) and Passion papers and used them under my photo.

Using a sponge, I applied gesso to some parts of my background and to the Crossing the Lines chipboard, which I cut in two.

"Wonderful" layout - Frolic collection

The second layout features me! :) I deciced to challenge myself and use a very busy paper for the background, something I don't do often. I used three different papers from the Frolic collection: Mercantile for the background, and Adorn (red) and Secretary (yellow) under my photo.

 

I also used the Butterfly Damask chipboard. I cut it in two and put one part above my photo and one part under.

I altered the chipboard and the background with gesso, applied with a sponge, and various inks and mists.

August projects + video tutorial from Elena Morgun

Hello, friends!

It's Elena Morgun here today. I have prepared for you a layout with a video tutorial and a notebook.

I wanted to try out an unusual composition in my layout and the chipboard helped me with that. I love using Blue Fern Panels, cause they give a vast field to one's imagination! You can cut it up to separate elements or use as a stencil and spray through it. This time I decided to add a large part of the panel right onto the layout to create a more complicaed background.

I used a paper from a new Paisley and Vine Collection.

All the details of creation process you can watch in step-by-step video tutorial.

Enjoy!

Also I created a notebook with the dividers. I longed for something new and unusual to me. There's a lot of hot embossing and stamping with Blue Fern stamps on the dividers. The chipboard I painted with Prima inks, a very fast and convenient way to do this.

August Projects by Melinda Thompson

Hello everyone,

I have 2 layouts to share with you today showcasing some super super gorgeous Blue Fern Chipboard and papers.

My first layout is using the Deja Vu collection papers again.. I started with the layering 2 peices of paper from the collection as my base then I placed the gorgeous Butterfly Grid over the top which I covered in Gesso first.

"Memories"

Before I stuck my Butterfly Grid down I partially cut out come of the butterflies to "lift" them off the page and make them come to life.  This was perfect way to show this photo of my little man who is always outside, its his favourite place to be, always trying to catch butterflies.

Products Used:

Papers: Deja Vu

Chipboard:  Butterfly Grid, Memory Frames, Picture Perfect

My next layout is using papers from the Ombre Dreams Collection.  Don't think I will ever tire of using that collection.

I have added lots of masculine type chipboard to this layout. I love to layer and layer my chipboard to create lots of demension, texture and interest to my page.

"Bros"

I always start with covering my chipboard with Gesso.  This will hold any colour of ink to your chipboard.  I glue everything down and then I add my colours.  Using a fine paint brush I randomly flick my colours around and spreading it further by misting it with water.

Products Used:

Papers: Ombre Dreams

Chipboard:  Circle Links, Cogs and Gears, Faucets, Hooks and Keys, Lightbulbs, Moving Parts, Techno-Scape, Software Peices

Thank you so much for stopping by:)
