August Layouts with Bec

Hi all, today I have two layouts to share with you.

Beach Babe

My first layout is using the gorgeous new Seaside Cottage collection. This collection is PERFECT for all your beach photos!!!

I chose the Embark paper for my background and placed my photo so the sand matched up to the beige half of the paper. I added a little interest to my back ground with the Forever and Essential Texture stamps. 

On the Seaside Lantern chipboard I first covered it with white crackle paste, then I coloured it with blue spray and inked the edges with brown ink.

To the Seaside Flourish chipboard piece I gave it texture with white sand paste before I coloured it with beige spray and brown ink.

On my title Beach Babe I used a mix of embossing powders in Bonny Blue, Breeze, Oatmeal and Snow to colour it

To embellish I used gorgeous flowers from the Seaside Lillies and Tranquil Roses and Lillies packs along with some real seashells and starfish.

Attic Charm Project by Bec

Hi Blue Fern Fans, today I have three projects made with the new Attic Charm Collection.

This collection is filled with the most gorgeous papers and pastel colours.

Stillness

First up I have a layout

I started by tearing the Curio paper and layering it onto the Sachet paper.

I then added some stamping with brown ink and the Serendipity Medley & Forever stamps before I added some texture paste through a stencil.

I treated the brick pieces out of the Shabby Brick bits with white crackle paste before I coloured them with a brown mist.

To colour the Roman Clock and Stillness title I used a mix of the Ginger, Oatmeal & Mushroom embossing powders.

I finished off the layout with some Tranquil Blooms & Tranquil Roses and Lilies mixed with a few extra flowers.

May inspiration by Bec

Hi there, today I have my May projects for you.

Beach Wedding Canvas

First up I have a canvas I made as a belated wedding gift for a friend

I began by covering the canvas with the new Tranquillity Collection papers: Serenity and Jubilation. I then used what was left over from these papers to make a photo mat.  

I distressed the edges of all the papers and I added modeling paste with a stencil to the background of the canvas.

I used the Persian Ornament Chipboard piece to go under the photo, I coloured this with the Mushroom Embossing Powder.

For the title Love Always I used two different embossing powders in Snow and Seven Seas.

To finish off I embellished this canvas with some of the gorgeous new Blue Fern flowers. I used Courtship Blooms, Courtship Roses and Tranquil Roses and Lilies.

Mini Beach Shadow Box

My next Project is a mini shadow box made with the Tranquillity Collection

I used the Tranquillity paper Jubilation to line the squares inside the box as well as the outside edges and bottom of the box.

Then I used the Seven Seas Embossing powder to colour the top surfaces of the box.

I filled the mini bottles with the Gulf Coast and Blue Ice Glitters

I coated all the Seaside Seashells chipboard pieces with white sand texture paste, and when this was dry I rubbed a little distress ink over the surfaces.

I finished with off with a few real sea shells and Courtship Blooms, Courtship Roses and Tranquil Roses and Lilies.

The Future Belongs to Those who Believe on the Beauty of Their Dreams

And finally today I have a layout to share which I made with the Serendipity collection

I used the Serendipity Fascination paper as my background for this layout, I added some mists and texture pastes for colour and interest. Then I used the Serendipity papers Glee and Calling cards to make a photo mat.

I used the whole Natural Sprigs Set pack and covered all the pieces with white crackle paste. When the paste was dry I coloured them with a green mist and brown distress ink.

To colour the Folkart Frame I used Liquid Pearls in Bisque

For my title I cut one to the calling cards up and spread the words over my page

April Layouts and Tutorial with Bec

Hi, it's my day to share all my latest Blue Fern Studios layouts today!!!

This month I have three layouts from three different collections plus a video tutorial.

Capture the Moment

First up is my video with a layout made from the Love Story Collection. I had been going through my papers looking for something else when I came across this background paper (Cotillion) which I automatically wanted to make a layout with, so that's how this layout came about.

Please enjoy my video here

Produts Used:

Love Story Collection Papers: Cotillon & Concerto

Chipboard: Techno Rings & Captured Words Set

Embossing Powder: Ginger, Honey, 14 Karat, Ebony

Stamps: Forever
Glitter: Pyrite

Flowers: Courtship Roses & Courtship Blooms

Smile

For my second layout I used the Courtship Lane collection with lots of the gorgeous new Courtship flowers. I am so super excited that Blue Fern Studios are now making flowers to go with the collections !!!!!! :D

I used the Bourbon Lane paper as my background piece,which I preped with clear gesso before I added colour with pink and purple sprays.  Next I added texture with a stencil and modeling paste, I also added some sparkle with Dusty Rose Glitter. 

I cut the Shabby Brick Panel to the size I wanted, then all I did to this piece was add a coat of white gesso. I coloured my other chipboard with embossing powder, the Chelsea Vines  in Lime and the word Smile with Iris.

I fussy cut out various floral images from the Courtship Lane papers to tuck under my flowers. 

I finished my layout with a little random stamping.

Products Used:

Courtship lane collection Papers: Bourbon Lane, Lovers Lane, Calling Cards, 

Chipboard: Shabby Brick Panel, Chelsea Vines & Smile from the Laughter, Happy, Smile set

Glitter: Dusty Rose

Embossing Powder: Lilac & Lime

Stamp: Essential Textures & Forever

Flowers: Courtship Roses and Courtship Blooms

 Love

Finally I have the layout I made using this months sketch

The April Sketch

Here are my close ups

I used the Frolic Collection paper Calling Cards as my background paper, then I started the layout by stamping the Vintage Edges stamp in embossing ink and adding the Honey Embossing Powder.  I love the delicate details it adds to the background.

Next I added modeling paste through a stencil,  then a tiny bit of colour with a few splashes of pink mist.

I used the Cotton Candy,  Lime and Honey Embossing Powders to colour my chipboard.  Embossing powder is a very simple way of colouring chipboard as it gives you full coverage very easily. All the Blue Fern Imagine Ink Embossing Powders are opaque so there is no need to prime the chipboard with gesso first so it's even easier.

I cut the butterfly images from the Dans Le Jardin paper then added glitter in Dusty Rose and Peridot  to the wings and liquid pearls down the centre to make easy butterfly embellishments. 

Products Used:

Frolic Collection Papers: Calling Cards,  Secretary, Allegro and Dans Le Jardin

Chipboard: Roman Clock Set - small,  Love from the Adore, Love Cherish Word Set,  Mini Flourishes and Ornate Frame

Embossing Powder: Cotton Candy,  Lime and Honey

Glitter: Dusty Rose and Peridot 

Stamps: Vintage Edges
