May Inspiration by Yuko


Hello!friends!
I'm very exciteing!
This month I used this new collection just arrived!

It is Tattered Walls collection.
It is chic and mature like a mature


Stamps and embossing powders, glitter, seedlings,
Flower, Ephemera  and so on collection!!!




【memories】
Among the same collection, I used an elegant paper for this work.





The title was processed with embossed powder Napa Valley.

I processed the frame with my favorite embossed powder (OATMEAL).
This color is not too flashy, it is favorite because it fits anything!


 Bird chip board was processed with embossed powder IVOLY and FUCHSIA.


I cut out the birdcake of the stamp (For the Birds) to pepper.






I attached texture with modeling paste and attached seedlings'(Lavender)
Seedlings is easy to use as it gets a look with just a little touch!



To be honest, when how is this stamp used? I worried....
If it was tried out, it was quite good.
The depths where are which a layout 
when I say whether it's used, it's being pushed at random.
Feeling blurred is Good!

May Inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans,
Summer is almost here and I've started getting ready for the travel season.

But first let's dive deep into my seaside memories.

May Inspirations by Jennifer Jacques

Hi all Blue Fern Studios fans!
It's Jennifer here, with my 3 layouts as May inpsirations!

First of all, I'll start the month with a layout with "Happy Accident".


I choose to work with "Lucky" paper as my background.
I added a bit of texture paste through a stencil and displayed my picture on a die cut doilie.  You can see in the clustering below that I also tucked in two pieces of Checker bits chipboard that I have embossed with the Honey embossing powder.


My chipboard title is from the Remnants collection and here, this is the Sunlight Rose embossing powder that I've chose to embossed with.  You'll see underneath the Fern Leaves embossed with Green Ivory embossing powder.  Did you see the beautiful lilies from the Wanderlust Lilies set? They really are my favorite Blue Fern flowers. On the next corner, the white flower is from Homespun blossoms set :)


Below, I've made some ornements out of velum paper with the Texture circles stamp and Ivory embossing powder.  I've put together one clustering on each side of my focal point with 
Apricot blooms and some stuff from my own stash.



So, here is the list of the products I've used on that layout

Papers: Collection Happy Accident
-Lucky

Chipboards
-Checker bits 
-Dream
-Fern leaves

Stamps
-Texture circle

Embossing Powder
-Honey
-Sunlight rose
-Green Ivory

Flowers
-Wanderlust lilies
-Apricot blooms
-Homespun blossoms
-Fresh floral

************************



Second layout with In the moods collection.


This time, this is B-side of "Dreamy" paper that is my background.  Clear gesso, some sprays as watercolor effect and texture paste through a stencil again.  You can see below that I've displayed my picture on a piece of Mémoire "post cards" paper.


On the left of my picture, there is some chipboards.  The Flutter page dangles is embossed with Stormy skies, a beautiful blue-grey color.  Really love that metallic effect.  Right on the background, a Petite boutique Frame which is colored with some wax.


Here. my title is a piece from  Remnants collection chipboard that I've cut to use only the word "You".  I've tried very hard to show you the beautiful color of Vintage Jade glitter but I've failed.  It's magnificent, believe me! 💙💚  Again, some beautiful lilies from Wanderlust set.


Here, a Christmas blooms, with a pearl in her center.
Some sequins, flair and love quotes from my stash.  
Finally, to add some texture, some Silver seedlings  in different spots and some stamping with Tattered Newsprint stamp and permanent ink.


Again, here is the list of the products I've used on that layout

 Papers: Collection In the mood and Mémoire
-Dreamy (b-side)
-Post cards

Chipboards
-Petite Boutique Frame
-Flutter page dangles
-You (a part of Remnants title chipboard)

**********************
Finally, my last layout with In the mood again.


A soft layout, with "Amused" paper as the background.  No mixed media here.

The tag on the left was cut out of "Blissful" b-side paper.    My title, from the French words set is embossed with the delicate and sooooooo gorgeous  Pixie Dust embossing powder.  My set up is displayed on a big piece of a chipboard panel (which is no longer available, sorry!) that I've simply paint in black for a dramatic effect.


On the right, chipboard flower was simply stained in black and colored with wax.



Finally, to ornate the lower corner of my picture, Blue Fern Studios flowers :)
The white one is from Christmas blooms (but I've replaced the center to match my layout), the pink one is from Garden Blooms (here, I've put a pearl in the middle) and, the black one, a beautiful Dark Tropic lilies... A piece of "Pensive" paper in the upper right corner :)


It's a minimalist layout so I finished with some flairs and love quotes and that was it!

 Here is the products I've used on that layout this time

 Papers: Collection In the mood
-Blissful (b-side)
-Pensive (b-side)

Embossing Powder
-Pixie dust

Flowers
-Dark tropic lilies
-Christmas blooms
-Garden blooms

So this is it!

May Inspiration - Joanne Bain

Hello!!

Joanne here with you today to share a couple of layouts and a tutorial with you featuring In The Mood, Deja'Vu and Tranquility collections. These have been mixed and matched and go together beautifully.

'Remember When'


The idea for this layout started with the large heart which was cut from the Blissful paper from the In The Mood collection. I cut the heart out and folded in half, I then rolled the top corner to expose the inside pattern paper, its such a pretty colour. From there I wanted to work with soft pastel colours so I chose to do a lot of fussy cutting from the Atelier patterned paper from the Deja'Vu collection.


The fussy cut pieces were then layered in amongst the layers of Blue Fern blooms to create a gorgeous main cluster. I chose to use a darker background to make the soft colours pop.


At the base of the cluster I have used the Romantic Page Dangles chipboard. This has been left raw as I feel the raw colour complimented the page.


To add softness to the page I then added frayed cheesecloth and coordinating cotton thread. The title for my page was cut from one of the page title strips that is normally cut off and discarded, but I always look because sometimes these are perfect for titles just like this one.

For my next page I created a page for my son. I am always asked do you ever scrap boys? Well yes it just depends if my son wants to play along and have his photo taken. So today I have created a layout with a tutorial so you can scrap the special boy in your life.

'Happy'


This layout features fussy cut images from the Patience patterned paper from the Tranquility collection. I think the colours and images were perfect for a boyish page and look not a flower in sight.


Throughout the cluster I have placed some of the Blue Fern Shabby Brick Bits chipboard which has been coloured lightly to coordinate with my page.


To frame the photo and add extra texture I have used some this Jute string, I love its natural colouring. I have also added a little sprinkling of seedlings to this.


Between layers I have again used a natural coloured frayed cheesecloth which I have in places coloured with coordinating watercolour paint.


How cute is that little bird? Once again I have used the patterned paper title label strips that are cut off the pattern paper. The Tranquility strips had those cute little blue butterflies.
