Cluster Layouts by Kristine Henanger

Hi everyone! 

Kristine Henanger here with you today to show
 you some projects I have been working on this month!
I hope you enjoy :)

"Boys will be boys"

There is endless ways to use or decorate your chipboard pieces, and one of my favorit way to do it, is to layer the piece with many layers of paint, ink, stamping, crackle paint, glitter, embossing and so on. 

On this page I started of by putting gesso on all the pieces. Then I used the same glimmermist as on the background, and finger painted the chipboard, to give it a random look.

I put some more gesso on, allso using my fingers, to make the white more visible again.
Then I used some stamps and just put it all over, before I finished of by putting some ink on the edges to create shadows.

 On this layout I have used following chipboard pices from Blue Fern Studios

                                        " Boys will be boys"                         "petite boutique frames"

"picture perfect"

"Today"

I am all about the cluster style, details, layers and colors (especially turquoise)... 

But sometimes I like to create a "clean and simple" cluster pages, like this one.

To make the chipboard match my page I put gesso and ink on all the pieces.
To give it a random look I always use my fingers to paint with
(it is a bit messy, so you can use gloves if you like).
On the skies I used sandpaper to create a worn/aged look.

 On this layout I have used following chipboard pices from Blue Fern Studios:

                                    " Brigitte Butterfly set"                                 " widgetworks"

                                                                      "cloudy skies"

Thank you for stopping by! I hope you found some inspiration here today :)

Cards with Yana Smakula

Hello everyone! My name is Yana Smakula and I'm beyond thrilled to be a part of Blue Fern Studios for the next few month. 

Let me briefly introduce myself. I’m 26 years old and I’m from Ukraine. I’ve been married for a little bit over a year now, no kids but we do have two black cats and we can’t live without them!

I love to travel across the world and meet new people, discover new cultures and just explore. So far together with my husband we’ve been to a few places in Europe, Africa, Asia and USA. Our next dream destination is Madagascar, I hear the nature there is simply breathtaking!

I enjoy scrapbooking and I mostly scrapbook about our travels. My other passion is cardmaking – I enjoy trying new products and techniques, experimenting and creating in different styles.

I have two cards to share, both completely different, one is a clean and simple, and the other – well, you tell me which style it fits best, lol!
Here’s the first card – Thinking of you.

For this card I used the following chipboard pieces from Blue Fern Studios. Butterflies were coloured with white Folk Art paint from Plaid and the flower was roughly covered with Distress paint from Ranger.

 Brigitte Butterfly Set

Gabrielle Butterfly Set

Garden Daisies

My next card – a classic Clean & Simple which I am so in love with lately. Its a card with hint of a vacation – endless ocean waters, loud seagulls and lots of blues and aquas. 

For this card I used cloud-shaped chipboard. I think its one of the first ones I laid my eyes on! I really like all the different shapes there are in the set.
I covered the clouds with embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder, did that twice to completely cover the chipboard.

 Cloudy Skies

Thats all for today from me. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed!
