April projects by Wendy Scholten

Hi Everyone,

I'm so happy to show you my projects for this month.

I created 3 layouts with 2 different collections including one with the new Happy Accident papers.

They are really stunning!

So let's start with the first one.

I used the Spring Parade for this one, i wanted to keep it simple so the picture really stands out.

I wonder from who she get's her goofiness , lol!

'Happiness'

I used the Sunday Best paper, a stencil with modeling paste and oil pastels with some water for the background. Behind my photo i used a piece of the Market place paper.

I chose the Happiness word from the Good Vibes word set, i used it with the new lavender eggs embossing powder.

And the other chipboard pieces are the Ginger Poppies, i used those with the snow embossing powder and tucked them behind my photo.

For my flower clusters i used the Chesterville Blooms, Harvest Lilies and a few of my own stash.

I used a mix of sequins to give it more color and playfulness.

Behind my photo i used some moddeling paste with a baroque stencil and some sprays for the color.

I also used the tattered newsprint stamp with the vintage gold embossing powder to give my background more color.

As my chipboard title i used The Big Day from the Wedding Words set which i embossed with the vintage Gold Embossing Powder.

And to frame my photo i used the Bordeaux Layered Frame, the back i embossed with Snow Embossing Powder and the front with the Oatmeal embossing powder.

 For my flowers i used Heartland Blossoms and some of my own stash.

I also used some embellishments, stickers, a doily, glitter and some cheesecloth.

"Happiness" by our Fan of the Month

It's Wednesday, so we are back with another layout from our Fan of the Month, Patty Rogers.
This week, she has created this sweet Easter layout.  We will let Patty tell you all about it.

Hi everyone! It's Patty again with another layout for the Spring Parade collection. I enjoyed working with these Blue Fern Studio Products so much that I made a process video while working on this piece. You can watch it below.

>

You can see some of the layering and distressing in the photo below. The title word, "Happiness" is from the Good Vibes chipboard set. I love the way it gracefully curves over the photo so beautifully.

You can see where I tore the papers diagonally and popped them up. I may have had
too much fun with my layering, if there is such a thing!  Using a stencil and modeling paste,
I added texture to the background before splattering gold paint.

Here, you can see the pretty egg chipboard pieces. They are lovely and I thought it
would be perfect to hang them by a chain that I stamped on the background paper.
The chain stamp is from the "Forever" clear stamp.

Fussy cutting appears on most of my work and the little bunny from "Spring Parade" is adorable!
 To me, it is important to not allow the white middle part of the paper to be seen,
so I use markers to blend the colors along the edges.

I decided to use "Bits of Honey" on this layout and when working with the little hexagons, I was inspired to use them in a different way than ever before. The little hexagon had already been embossed and I was holding it with my tweezers when it jumped up and landed on a piece of cheese cloth! Brilliant! I glued it to the cheesecloth! Perhaps it was divine intervention...or maybe there was simply too much pressure from the tweezers! Too bad I can't take credit for that 3-D inspiration! It looked as if it was floating, so I did the same with two more hexagonal pieces.

Hope you enjoy the process video.....see you next time!......Patty
