Vintage Inspired by Pam Ellis

This week, Pam Ellis, our Blue Fern Fan of the Month, has created a layout in memory of her mother, who lost her battle with cancer in 2011.  What a beautiful tribute to her mother, who she cared for when she was ill.  

Pam used this beautiful sepia photo of her mother along with paper from the Remnants collection.  To the background she applied modeling paste through a rose patterned stencil, and then used purple mist.

The Faded Bloom chipboard piece was cut and used in two places in her design, and serves as an area to place the title.  Pam also cut tags from the paper to use as layering elements.  

A few pieces from the Printed Chipboard and flowers from the Remnant Florals added the finishing touches.

Thank you Pam, for sharing your layout and memories of you mother.  

September inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios Fans! Vera Shelemekh is here with amazing Amber and Apricot inspiration. I'm in a flourish mood this month so all of my projects are full of wonderful Apricot flowers.

The first layout is dedicated to a bicycle ride. This photo was taken specially for the russian Scrapbooker of the year contest last summer (I never ride a bike with a newspaper in my hands in normal life).

This piece of printed chipboard inspired my to create this layout.

 

I framed the photo into small Krystal's frame covered with my favourite icicle embossing powder. In the layers of flowers you will also find beautiful Fading blooms chipboards covered with baby pink and avocado embossing powders.

 The layout is decorated with fussy cut flowers from the Amber and Apricot Tweet meloody and the Flora papers.

  I also added some elements from Lace 4.

- September Inspiration - 4 layouts - Amber & Apricot / Wanderlust, by Tartine Peluche.

Hello girls! I'm back to share my september layouts created with Blue Fern Studios products. This month I've used the new collection Amber and Apricot for three layouts and one with Wanderlust paper collection..

-SUNSHINE IS MY FAVORITE ACCESSORY-

My first one is created with FLORA and SUNNY DISPOSITION papers.
I cut the flowers on the FLORA paper and with the chipboard BLOOMING FOLIAGE I created different layer to insert the beautiful flowers of the APRICOT BLOOMS collection.

I embossed my chipboards with BLOOD ORANGE embossing powder. It is a red-orange color, mixed with white and pink glitter, sooo beautifully matching with color combinaison of paper collection.

I used LACE 6, in which I cutted only the small flowers of the bottom. They are used well with the small flowers of the APRICOT BLOOMS kit.

In the right corner at the top of my photo we find part of LACE 4, it is the foliage of the lace.

To add some finishing details I used the GREEN LEAF and  MUSTARD seedlings.

As the bottom of the paper was already decorated, I only add a small white paper frame and some pretty APRICOT BLOOMS flowers.

Then I completed my layout with my favorite embellishment, sequins and half pearls.

-YOU ARE ENOUGH-

For my second layout,  I used TWEET MELODY ( B-side ) and I still used the flowers of FLORA paper but, this time with the FADING BLOOMS chipboard, that I simply embossed in white. I used a piece of BIRDSONG paper and also a piece of  FLORA paper ( B-side ) for create some layers on background. I added flowers and some pieces of AMBER&APRICOT PRINTED CHIPBOARD.

I used only the peach flowers of Apricot Blooms kit and 
the leaves come from WANDERLUST VINE.

I used  MUSTARD seedlings and some half beads for details.

 The little bird was cut in the paper TWEET MELODY.

I finish by adding a gold wire, wound in a loop.
I think it adds a little something...

- SUGAR & SPICE -

I used CHAPTERS paper ( B-side ). It's a dark paper already having white spots, so I did not use white gesso but directly my color for my background. 
I have a lot of fun with snapchat application lately ... LOL 
Here is another page with a selfie.

I chose to use the KRYSTAL'S FRAME -SMALL chipboard for this layout. I embossed it with BLOOD ORANGE embossing powder. The rectangle frame are the negative of pictures on the APRICOT-PRINTED CHIPBOARD. The cut flowers come from TWEET MELODY paper and I worked with APRICOT BLOOMS again ... 
I told you I loved these flowers? I think these are also my favorites.

On my background you can see that I used GARDEN FROLIC stamp and the wonderful butterfly of  SPRING ACCENTS

I REPEAT, I REALLY LOVE THIS FLOWERS!!! YOU MUST HAVE THEM!
But dont take all, I want to having anothers! LOL

Again some pieces of PRINTED CHIPBOARD to add details...
Whit small rocks, I added TWIG seedlings, half beads, sequins and more seedlings again...

I used Wanderlust collection.

- MOUNTAIN VIEW-

In september the migration of the birds is well started, in the mountain, we can observe them. 
I live in the mountain ...

I used PACIFIC COAST paper (B-side)
I did only a few brush stroke of white gesso on my background.
Under my photo I used CURLING CORNER chipboard. I have embossed it with HOT COCOA embossig powder.

Under the chipboard I have used LACE 1.

Two beautiful lilies flower from WANDERLUST LILIES kit are placed below the word EXPLORE from the kit WANDERLUST WORDS. I have paint this word with metallic blue paint...

 I painted my chipboard MOUNTAIN VIEW with white gesso using a sponge to create a sandy texture. Then I put glue on half of the chipboard and I added MELTED BUTTER glitter on.

Under all the layers I placed a piece of WANDERLUST PRINTED CHIPBOARD...
Some sequins and half beads add finishing to my page.

August Inspiration by Babi

Hi Everyone,

Today it's my turn to share with you my new projects using gorgeous Wanderlust and Amber & Apricot collections.

For the first, I used Memento and Pacific Coast papers for a project which I named "Fun Times".

To add texture, I used stencil and Distress on the main paper. Then, I stamped a few images  with  Departure Stamp.

The Natural Frame chipboard was covered with Snow Embossing Powder.

I used Lace 4,  Spring Lilies and Wanderlust Printed Chipboard to decorate the rest of the layout.

I finished the layout by adding microbeads, gesso and other embellies.

For my second project I decided to create a layout called "Unforgetable".

The background was created by gluing  Road Trip and Lakeside paper,  also from the Wanderlust collection. 

Then, I added some texture with stencil, modeling paste, watercolor paint  and Tattered Newsprint stamp.  

To create the layers, I used Ocean Voyage and Calling Cards Papers. Then, proceed to emboss the the Fading Bloom and Grid Pieces chipboards with  Avocado and Snow embossing powder. 

Afterwards, I added some gel and seedlings Twing and Green Leaf.

To finish the project, I used flowers from Apricot Blooms, Wanderlust Lilies and Chesterville Blooms.

I decided to finish my monthly inspiration with two cute cards from the new collection Amber & Apricot.  I trully love this collection and so far it is one of my favorite: very girly, delicate and with a hint of Fall. 

I used Flora, Birdsong and Joyful papers to create my first card.  Then, I added some texture with stencil and modeling paste. 

I added Lace 6, Apricot Blooms and some leaves that I die cut with Ocean Voyage paper (Wanderlust collection).  

This beautiful title is a stamp called Sweet Titles (Amber & Apricot) that I heat embossed with Antique Gold. 

------------------------

On my second card I used  Tweet Melody, Sunny Disposition, Flora, and Joyful papers. 

Then, I decorated it with some leaves and flowers that I "fussy cut" from Flora paper. Next, I added some Apricot Blooms (it's a must have) and this gorgeous title is from Amber and Apricot Printed Chipboard.
