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.

The second layout is about my little son. He has got a funny hat and looks like a Bee man in it )

I've used Amber & Apricot - Joyful as background.

With a lot of yellow and brown flowers it makes Autumn so soft and warm. The composition consists of  Amber & Apricot printed chipboards, fussy cut roses from Yesteryear paper...

The is also some Honey bits stamping on background.

 and I added here and there bees stamped with Amber accents.

I love the look of Mustard Seedlings here. Just like drops of honey )

Party Dress by Tracy Funk

Welcome to Wednesday, everyone!  We are back with another project from our July Blue Fern Fan of the month, Tracy Funk, using the Garden Life Collection.  This photo from the 60's brings back memories for some of us!

I'm happy to be back with my third layout for Blue Fern Studios as their "Fan of the Month" for July. It's called "Party Dress" and features a photo of my sister, Linda, in 1965.

For this layout, I used the In Bloom paper from the Garden Life collection for the background and some cream-coloured cardstock for the doily die-cuts.

I used the Flutter Medley and Bohemian Flowers chipboard pieces. I heat-embossed the Flutter Medley with embossing powder and rubbed some white paint overtop.  I didn't like the contrast that created so I did a wash of watery white paint overtop to tone it down.  I applied golden yellow glitter glue to the butterflies.  When that was dry I squeezed some white glue on the interior portions of the wings and sprinkled it with Sunlight Rose Imagine Ink Embossing Powder before heat setting it.

The Bohemian Flowers were painted white and embossed with Baby Pink Imagine Ink Embossing Powder.

I also used a couple of pieces of printed chipboard from the Garden Life collection.

I used some of Blue Fern Studios' Garden Florals, Garden Blooms and Happy Roses as well.

Happy Accident Layouts by Kris Berc

Hi, Blue Fern Studios friends and fans! It's Kris here to share my May layouts.  All three feature the new paper collection called Happy Accident.  I do believe this collection will be a strong favorite for a very long time! It is so wonderfully suited for mixed media, but it also stands beautifully on its own.  I hope you will get your hands on this collection, as you are sure to love it!

This is My Life


My first layout features the B side of the Happy Accident - Layering Cards paper.  I prepared it with a layer of clear gesso then a little bit of white gesso in the focal area. I added some drops of pink, peach, and orange sprays to the paper to coordinate with the flowers that I was going to add.  When dry, I used the brick stamp from the Essential Textures stamp set with black ink.

I used Copper Embossing Powder on the This is My Life chipboard piece.

  I also used the Copper Embossing Powder on a butterfly from the Royal Monarchs chipboard set.  For some beautiful contrast, I added some Pink Dust Embossing Powder to the butterfly here and there.

I used the same embossing powder treatment on the Blooming Flourishes chipboard pieces that are layered under the photo and flowers.  Above, you can see a coordinating Happy Accident Printed Chipboard Sticker peeking out on either side of the photo and another, "Inspiration", beneath the photo.

Of course, a handful of gorgeous coordinating flowers, including Happy Roses, Spring Lilies, and Harvest Lilies, were used to embellish the layout.

Together is the Best Place to be

This layout features the B side of the Happy Accident - Fluke paper.  I prepared it with a layer of clear gesso and then applied modeling paste through a stencil.  Next I added color with some drops of peach, orange, and yellow sprays. When dry, I added contrast by using black ink with the Tattered Newsprint stamp and a stamp from the Forever set.

I used Stormy Skies embossing powder on the Together is the Best Place to be chipboard piece.  Isn't it a lovely shade of blue?!  Used 14 Karat embossing powder on the Royal Heart Frame chipboard piece that you see peeking out under and around the photo.

I tucked a blue chipboard flower from the Happy Accident Printed Chipboard set into an embellishment cluster.

The flower clusters include beautiful Happy Blooms and Happy Roses.

Sassy

My last layout features the Happy Accident - Chance paper.  I prepared the paper with a layer of clear gesso followed by modeling paste through a stencil.  Next, I added color with drops of purple, pink, black, and white sprays.  When dry, I stamped using the Tattered Harlequin stamp as well one of the Essential Textures stamps using black ink.

I embossed the Swirly Circle chipboard piece with Plum embossing powder.  I did the same on the Sassy chipboard piece, but I also added some Rusty Rose embossing powder on it here and there.  I love the beautiful effect!

Above and below, you can also see some of the Happy Accident Printed Chipboard stickers.

The below "Passion" chipboard sticker is also from the Happy Accident Printed Chipboard set.

My flower clusters include Happy Blooms and Happy Roses.
