May Projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans! 

Vera Shelemekh is here. Today is my turn to inspire you with the amazing Happy Accident collection. The self adhesive chipboards are absolutely gorgeous, aren't they? So easy to adhere and fun to play with!

My first layout is telling a summertime story. I even see the sun rays  shining from the right upper corner). I used Happy Accident - Incident paper for the background and a couple of pieces from the self adhesive chipboards set.

Graduated Circles and Chelsea Vines chipboards are covered with acrylic paint and some Mermaid glitter.

I love the combination of bright yellow and blue bubbles and flowers and watercolor birds from the Owls and birds stamps set.

And here is my video tutorial showing how to make this layout. I hope you will find it useful.

May Design Team Projects by Wendy Scholten

Hi Everyone,

Today i'm up on the blog to show you my design team projects for this month.

It features Happy Accident and one older collection Serenditpity.

This is the first one:

Sunshine

 This one features the Serendipity collection, i loved the background, it didn't need anything more than a stencil with some moddeling paste and a small piece of burlap behind my photo.

 I used one of the Whimsey Flourishes and 2 pieces of the Floral Lattice Bits.

For the title i used Sunshine from the Optimist Word Set

 On the Whimsey Flourish and the Sunshine title i used Snow embossing powder and on the Floral Lattice Bits i used Sand & Sea embossing powder to let it stand out more on the lace i used.

 For my flowers i used the white Heartland Blossoms, the small blue chesterville Blooms and i cut a few leaves of the Spring peony

 I used a few small flowers from my own stash, a few baubles, see through glass beads and a button with some string around it.
