Two Layouts From Kelly

Hi Blue Fern fans! Kelly here today with a couple of layouts to share.

"Be-You(tiful)

I have used a few pieces of BFS chipboard, starting with the Twiggy Branch - Large, which I grounded my large flower cluster with. I think it makes for an interesting texture and reinforces the rugged/outdoors feel of the layout. This piece was simply dabbed with gesso, then given a few coats of brown glimmermist.

Below, I have used half of the little fram from the Second Hand Furnishings set, this was painted first with gesso, then a coat of silver ink, then brushed with a brown chalk ink.

Below is the other half of the frame, which was embossed with a chunky black embossing powder, then dabbed a bit with gesso.

Last little detail, I tucked in one of the Symphony Corners, this was treated the same as the first half of the frame above. These little corner pieces are the perfect shape for tucking into a cluster or in this case, a torn opening.

"Cute Stuff"
 This next one, I kept a bit more simple, but still full of color and wonderful detail added just by incorporating a couple pieces of chipboard.

 Above, you can see the "Cute Stuff" title from the Good Vibes set. I coated the words in a dimensional paint. You can also see the smaller of the two Craftsman Frames, which was embossed in a pearl blue color, then rubbed a bit with various vibrant colored inks.

Above, I have cut off a segment of the larger of the two frames, and applied the same techniques as I did the smaller one.

  3. Oooh yes, LOVE the use of fabric on your first project and how you achieved the ruggedness of texture. The colours on the second one just sing! Clever to cut off a piece from that frame and place it to the side. Beautiful projects as always Kells! xox
