"Earth Laughs in Flowers" Glory of the Garden collection

 Hey Blue Fern Friends!  I have a small project using Glory of the Garden collection!

This collection definitely speaks Garden with the colors!

For the background I used texture paste thru a stencil then sprinkled Goldilocks and Golden Seas Embossing powder and also sprinkled Solar Flare glitter this gave a little sparkle and added color.  

I did some diecutting for adding layers,  also added flowers,  fiber,  lace,  chipboard and a couple pieces from the Ephemera pack.



My favorite way to put the final touch is to add Seedlings(Golden Nugget) and I also added Sailors Delight Glitter.

Christmas Cards using Vintage Christmas 1 & 2.

Hello and welcome to Blue Fern's blog. Today I have my last post for Blue Fern Studios. I decided to make a couple of Christmas cards using the Vintage Christmas 1 & 2 papers.
   I love working with these papers which are sadly no longer available. 
I colored some cheesecloth and put it at the base of my card for some fun texture. I built the card up with various papers and then colored the chipboard frame with Sage, Avocado and Lucky embossing powders. I cut the Merry Christmas from the All Spruced Up chipboard and used Ginger embossing powder to color it. A couple of Prima flowers finish it off.
I used lace on this card for added texture. Again some Prima flowers for added interest.

Just a short post today. I want to thank Blue Fern Studios for giving me the opportunity to work with their wonderful products. I will miss being here but look forward to moving on to new things.

I wish you all the very best!

Fantastic Journey Layout

Hey Crafty Friends I have a layout using the Gorgeous Passages collection.  This time I was in the mood for "simple"!

I did some paper tearing for the background layers,  cut out a circle and also fussy cut out the Hotair balloon.  

I heat embossed "fantastic Journey with Golden Seas and heat embossed the car chipboard with Taupe.  I also tucked in Lace 51 under the torn paper.  

I also cut out a tag for another layer.  Behind the circle cutout I added cheese cloth which is one of my favorite background layers that adds amazing texture!

For the finishing touch I did some white sprinkles of White Acrylic paint!
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Creating!

Sparkle

 Hello! Hope today's post finds you well. I used the Vintage Christmas papers for this layout.

I wanted to do a more simplistic layout, so I chose to go with three basic colors, green, blue and white.

I did the usual background that I love, some stenciling and coloring with Whale Watch Blue mist. I heat embossed some drywall tape, with embossing powder, cut it into pieces and placed them around my photo. I also embossed some Fern Leaves with Sage, Avocado and Lucky embossing powders and placed them with my flowers from 49 & Market blooms in Sky and Blueberry.

The opposite flower cluster.

I used a few snowflakes from the Sparkle Snowflake pack and heat embossed them with some pearl and tinsel embossing powder.

 

I used the Ornate Wreath to frame my photo. I spent awhile preparing it. I used Sage, Avocado, Lucky, Taupe, Stormy Skies and Hot Cocoa embossing powders. I then applied some snowflake paste around my leaf to imitate snow.

Another snowflake.

I used the title from the Sparkle Snowflake package and cut it down to just Sparkle. I heat embossed it with Stormy Skies. 

And that is the low down on my latest project. 

All the best! :)
