We hope these layouts from our Creative Team have given you some inspiration.
Now it's your turn to show us how you will interpret the sketch.

One lucky winner, selected by a random draw, will receive a prize package

In addition, we will also select 3 (or more) layouts to feature.
We have just a few simple rules to follow if you would like to participate in our sketch challenge:

1.) Feel free to interpret the sketch as you please by means of taking it as-is or 
flipping/turning/mirroring it to suit your needs, but please make sure your layout resembles the sketch.

2). Please note that you can do whatever type of project you please - a layout, card, 
  canvas, altered item- whatever suits your mood and style! 
We would love to see the different ways our sketch can be used.

3.) You must use at least one piece of Blue Fern Studios chipboard OR use Blue Fern Studios paper on your project. Please note that you do not need to use the pieces featured in the sketch
- use whatever suits your fancy! You can find the store nearest you HERE.
 {Do not use any other brand of chipboard on your project, please!}

Magic and Wonder with Vintage Christmas by Marilyn Rivera

Hello everyone!!  
Marilyn here with you today sharing a project with the beautiful Vintage Christmas collection and the new products from Blue Fern Studios like the embossing powder, mist and the glitters.

The new Vintage Christmas collection is so beautiful, the paper and design are divine .
I selected the Auld Lang Syne paper and the Wonderland paper(base) for my page. I treated the paper with gel medium. and after dry  I used the Imagine Ink "Winter Mist"  to enhance the beautiful blue/mint color tones on the paper. It's great that we have now  the mist, glitter and embossing powder in the same paper colors.  


I gave textures with a stencil and a mix of Imagine Ink-Glitter -"Pyrite" with gel medium.  The Winter Village chipboard was enhanced with the Imagine Ink-Embossing Powder-Fern. and added some Pyrite glitter.


My title is the Framed Winter Words chipboards that I treated with the embossing powder -Fern.

Here are my kids, a memory of the 2003 Christmas.  . 

Here you can see the effect of the glitter in the chipboard and in the background.

Blue Fern Studios products used:
Vintage Christmas collection: Auld Lange Syne and Wonderland papers
Chipboards:
Winter Village and Framed Winter Words
Imagine Ink products:
WinterMint Ink
Glitter Pyrite
Embossing powder-Fern

Thanks for stopping by...until next time!

Goodbye post from Video Educator Marta Lapkowska

Hello everyone,

It's Marta Lapkowska here. I am back to you with my last projects created for Blue Fern Studios.
I had such a great time being Video Educator for Blue Fern Studios. Wonderful products with great quality and original designs.
I will miss my team mates and all of you great followers.

I hope you will enjoy my two last layouts and grab some inspiration for yourself.

My first make is a mixed media based page. I love Autumn Anthology paper collection. It's beautiful, romantic and sophisticated!


I used mediums to add texture and colour to my background.


Another great way to add interest to your page is to stamp. Blue Fern has a wonderful selection of stamp sets.



As you can see I embossed my chipboards using white embossing powder.
You can follow whole creative process on my video tutorial. Enjoy !



My second project for today is clean and simple page.
I used paper from Autumn Anthology collection called 'Le Ballon'.


To add some interest to my background I added some splashes with sprays and stamping.



Chipboards were embossed with black embossing powder. I like the contrast created by adding black colour. Title 'Happy' stands out greatly.



I wish to thank for having me here!
It was my great plasure.

Hope to see you soon. Hugs, Marta Lapkowska xx
