LOVE

 Hello! Welcome to Blue Fern Studios' blog. Today I am sharing a layout done with the gorgeous new Eclectic Collection from Blue Fern Studios.

  I've been waiting a long time to scrap this photo of my daughter Jessie with her beloved dog Rufus. Sadly Rufus is no longer with us and I decided to make an album of all the great photos of Jess and Rufus together for her 30th birthday. These papers are filled with rich blues,purples and green which was perfect for this pic.

 For my background I did several things. First I covered my page in transparent gesso to prepare it for all the mediums I wanted to use. I then stamped around my photo area with the Fancy Clock stamp with embossing ink and then heat embossed it with Lilac embossing powder. I then added a damask design with a stencil and covered it again with transparent gesso to make sure my colors came out right. I used dark blue and different purples to get my desired effect. 

I fussy cut some elements from the papers as extra embellishments.

I used some Lavender Seedlings for extra texture. I also used the Flourish and Flowers chipboard pack to embellish my page. I covered all the chipboard with white gesso and then colored them with a variety of embossing powders.

I used the LOVE chipboard that came in the pack as my title and embossed it with Ginger to match my page.

For my flower cluster I used some misc purple flowers from Blue Fern and some berries from the Spring Peony and Berries pack. There are also flowers from Prima, 49 & Market and Petaloo. 

A couple of additional pics.

Card folio with Wanderlust

Hi everyone! Henriëtte here and today I want to share a card folio I've made with

the Wanderlust papers.

I found the idea and a tutorial on how to make a card folio on Kathy Clement You tube channel.

I used one of my favorite Blue Fern collections - Wanderlust, to decorate the folio.

Also the printed chipboard pieces are from the Wanderlust collection, 

they give the card great dimension.

The inside has two pockets and a flap.

and also two tags.

Thanks for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

My Treasure

Hi Ferns, 

I love this blue Reminisce sheet from the Eclectic Charm collection.

Under my torn edges I layered the Friendship sheet and the clock is the other side of the Reminisce sheet. 

I painted the flourish frame chipboard and title yellow.

I used a stamp called Tattered Newsprint and brown distress ink to embellish my background more.

 I used blue distress ink and gold glitter ink to age my page a bit further. I love how it turned out!

 

Thanks for the peek!

Blessings, Bonnie

Bloom layout - by Vicky Alberto

I am pretty sure that Blue Fern's Bird Waltz collection is my FAVE to date. Here is a layout of my daughter's school photo. I usually have a hard time with school photo layouts, but this was the perfect paper collection for the "fake" picture backdrop they provided. So Whimsical!

Many gorgeous Bleu Fern products layered on here... Summer, Pink and Apricot blooms, "take flight" bird chipboard (used chalk ink for colors), "bloom" title chipboard (used ink base and topped with Blue Fern's morning sun powder), "floral lace" chipboard (distressed inked). 

I added some pretty doily accents from my stash and tucked more blooms in the top corner to balance things out. This was such a fun project!

Thanks for visiting the blog today!

 Radiance "Faux Front" Envelope

 

"The Radiance Collection was the perfect choice to make my faux front envelope! The bright, happy colors of the collection just make you smile!

 

 

I've used Radiance ephemera throughout and embossed a chipboard butterfly from the collection as well.  Coordinating glitter makes the flowers and ribbon

on the cover shimmer! 

 

 

 Lots of flaps, flips, tucks and pockets in this one to store 

all your treasures and memories. 

 

 I loved working with this nature meets mixed media collection!

Thank you for visiting the blog today! I hope you enjoyed this colorful project.

Have a grateful day!

Two cards with the Bird Waltz Collection

Hello and welcome to the Blue Fern Studios blog.

DT Henriëtte here today sharing two cards I've created using the Bird Walz Collection.

On both cards I used chipboard pieces from the Bird Waltz set, 

Blue Fern lace and flowers.

I colored the chipboards with inks and paint and also wax to give them some shine.

All paper edges are distressed and I've put brown ink on the flowers, laces and cheesecloth 

to give them a more vintage look.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Henriëtte.

Happy Harvest

Hey friends! Today I am sharing with you a layout from the Eclectic Charm collection. 

My base paper is called Friendship. I white washed the back side, tore the bottom and curled the torn edges to create a little more interest.  I placed a strip of Picturesque behind the opening.

 That little opening gave me the perfect spot to place my Blue Fern flowers! The chipboard filigree is stained orange and touched up with gold ink. I used a happy harvest tag from my stash as well as the square of cardboard. 

To top it all off I used a butterfly from the Bird Waltz collection. 

I know it will inspire a harvest of creativity!

Blessings, Bonnie
