July Inspiration with Yuko

Blue Fern Studios DT work is in July.

This month I made it with summerlike feeling 2 works and hydrangea photos.

First is my first work.

【Living In The MOMENT】

I used wonder Lust series.

From the paper of the design of the sunflower

I thought of using this picture.

I also used the printed wood chip board of the same wonder Lust series.

The big title has a big impact!

I used embossed powder ginger.

In the image it glows gold and it is shiny

Actually it is gold that has fallen a bit.

It is a picture when We went to see a big bridge.

The chip board is embossed with HOTCOCOA.

Because I suffer from color and embossed many times, it became thick.

I put a lame on the cheesecloth with Seedlings and stickles.

I embossed this chip board with OATMEAL.

Because this chip board can be used in various tastes, favorite ！

【BEAUTIFUL】

I love hydrangea.

Of course I like purple though flowers

I often use hydrangea pictures.

Just push the Distressed Titles stamp into paper and cut it

It is favorite because it will become a title with presence.

April Layouts by Yuko

Hello!Frisends!I would like to introduce three new layouts today.

I used all different collections.

【valentine】

　It's quite a season but ...

Pictures of when I made a cupcake with my daughter at Valentine's Day

I thought that I used it all the time.

This paper (home supun collection) is really cute! ! !

The title is a favorite favorite BFS embossed powder ginger.

At first it is a brownish dark colored powder.

When turning on the heater, it turns into a beautiful gold instant.

I love this change and I often demonstrate in the class.

This is a part of the 12-inch size chipboard sheet of the same collection.

Originally the surroundings were yellow but it will float slightly in color

I cut around with scissors.

As this 12-inch chip board comes out for each collection

It is very easy to use!

This is a picture at a rape-blossom field.

The name of my daughter is associated with a rape blossom.

This cool parent color used for the title!

It is an embossed powder IRIDESCENT GREY.

It is not black, dark gray. Moreover, it entered lame.

It seems quite easy to use !

I also textured the background paper with modeling paste.

This stamp is also cool!

I stamped three places, but do you understand?

It matches too much with the pattern and how far it was originally printed

I do not know where I stamped!

This chip board is embossed with gold

Modeling paste with fingers at random.I colored after drying.

Whether the atmosphere will come out just by putting various colors

I feel like rust.

Honeycomb chipboard used for layout

I used it as an embellishment

because the one pulled out was also hexagonal and cute.

I put liquid pearl in the center. Looks like Bolt?

The middle race chipboard is

I processed it with IVOLY embossed powder.

I made it ivory because it was too floating in white.It is a nice color !

I imagined cherry blossom petals in the background

I made a pattern with modeling paste.

April Projects by Catherine Giguère

Hello Blue Fern Studios Fans!  Here's my turn to share my April projects with you. This month, I  worked with the Spring Parade collection and with the Courtship Lane collection.

Bonheur

For my first layout, I used 'Marketplace' paper from the BFS Spring Parade collection. I did a textured background with stencil, modeling paste, BFS 'Tattered Newspaper' and 'Essential Textures Stamps', art stones and different inks (blue, violet and yellow).

I embossed my chipboards 'Folkart Frame' and 'Organic Vine Corner' with BFS Imagine Ink 'Antique Gold'. 

I embossed my title (Bonheur) with  BFS Imagine Ink 'Amethyst'.

I cut the 'Organic Vine Corner' in half to put the pieces under my flowers. Then, I add a lot of BFS flowers.

Here's my first projects as Blue Fern Studios Design Team member.

'Follow Your Heart'

For this first layout, I made a step-by-step video tutorial that you can watch below. I used the paper Heartland XOXO to start this project. First, I made a textured background with a stencil and modeling paste. I used yellow and caramel inks to add colors. I also add details with the 'Making Plans' and 'Vintage Phrase' stamps.

Then, I embossed my chipboards 'Crackle Bits' with BFS Imagine Ink Embossing Powder 'In the Navy'. I used 4 pieces of this chipboard under my picture. I cut one piece to make the design I wanted. I used 3 others papers of the Heartland collection to put under my picture. 

I embossed my title 'Follow Your Heart' with BFS Imagine Ink Embossing Powder 'Honey'.

Then, I glued many Blue Fern Studios blue, yellow, white and turquoise flowers.

Here's the link to see the video tutorial:

I did my second layout on the gorgeous paper 'Wonderland' of the collection Vintage Christmas. I first did a subtile tone on tone background with modeling paste, stencil and brown inks. Then, I stamped with brown ink some words with the 'Vintage Phrase' stamp set. 

I embossed the 'Floral Lattice Bits' chipboards with BFS Imagine Ink Embossing Powder 'Garnet' to add a little bit of colour. I used pieces of Vintage Christmas 'Greeting Cards' paper and Vintage Christmas 2 'Holiday Cards' to put under my picture. 

I embossed the chipboard 'Circle Vine' with BFS Imagine Ink Embossing Powder 'Ginger' and my title 'Magnifique' from the French Adjectives 1 chipboard set with BFS Imagine Ink Embossing Powder 'Garnet'.

Then, I add many Blue Fern Studios flowers.
