January projects by Tartine Peluche

Hi everyone!
I'm so excited to share with you my first projects for Blue Fern Studios;
such an honor and a pleasure to be a part of this fabulous team.
So let me introduce myself.
My name is Melanie, Tartine Peluche on social media. I'm 34 years old and I live Quebec in Canada.
I do principally layouts, sometime cards and canvas. I've been scrapbooking for several years, starting with cards. Since a year I've changed for layouts and I really love that. My style is mostly shabby but I like touch everything and discover new techniques.
What is sure, my style is very detailed and full of flowers.

This is me

My works are always evolving and that's one of things why I love this art.
You can find me on:


I hope to inspire you all year long.

===============

My First layout: I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
I used the back of " Wonderland " paper from the Vintage Christmas collection for the background.
I simply put some texture paste and added a little brown ink and I finished with crackles textures stamps that I emboss with snow embossing powder
and grungy grid stamp emboss with ginger embossing powder.


The main chipboard of this layout is Snowflake Frame-Square. I started by embossing it in snow embossing powder. Then I used crackles textures stamp with brown ink pad and finish with grungy grid stamp emboss with ginger embossing powder.
To add contrast to the main chipboard I used Shabby Flakes. I made a mix of snow embossing powder and vintage gold glitter that I used to emboss the flakes.
Under the flakes I used two pieces of kit Mini Flourishes. I simply embossed with Ginger Embossing powder to bring out the flakes.

I used two deer from the kit Winter Deer also embossed in Ginger Embossing Powder.
I added dimensional paint for simulate snow.


You can better see the effect of mixing glitter and embossing powder on snowflakes here and dimension of white paint on deer.
You can see also the shinning of background create with stamps and embossing powder.

I kept the most beautiful for the end. These flowers are so beautiful. They are perfect!
I add a few micro beads on the pistils.


And a small snowflake to decorate the metallic golden deer.
Love this.

My second project is " Follow your heart "
I use the " Love Song Serenade " paper from the Heartland collection as my background paper.
I added white gesso, a doily stencil and just a little bit of teal ink.

I covered the chipboard "Follow Your Heart " with black gesso and give some shinning with pigment ink silver. I added some small details with teal wire thread.
I cut the chipboard Rose Frame and after putting white gesso I added a small layer of metallic teal paint. Some flowers and beads added the final touch of the top part.

Here I used the same procedure on another piece of chipboard Rose Frame
and completed with flair. Still some beads and small
piece of cheesecloth and this part is finished.

This is my favorite part of my layout.
I covered with white gesso and emboss with Snow embossing powder
I decided to customize my chipboard Treasured Floral Frame with flowers and wire thread, exactly like the chipboard. I really love the result.
Under This chipboard I added other pieces of Rose Frame chipboard,
still altered with white gesso and metallic paint.

Then I used the white flowers Christmas Blossom and coated the center of Caribbean glitter.

Some beads ans stars sequins to add a littles details .

My last layout " These moment "
 I used the back of  " Love Blooms " paper from the HEARTLAND collection. I love this blue!
I slightly bleached the paper with white gesso, I used crackle textures stamp with black ink pad then I applied with texture paste. To finish the background I added a little bit of spray ink with a brush.

I used the chipboards Heartland XOXO, the bird of chipboard Spirit of Heartland
and one heart of  Heart Set. I first applied white gesso and I painted all the chipboards
 in the same way, with metallic
watercolor paint teal, white and blue.

You can see more the shinning of the paint on this picture on the chipboard with this picture.

I really love the lilies flowers of Blue Fern Studios. For this projet I chose to use the light blue of kit Spring Lilies. They are so beautiful and really perfect for my layout.

To finish I simply added several small details
everywhere on my creation: pearls, sequins and brads.

Grungy Art Journaling- By Keren Tamir



Hi Everyone,
Its Keren here with two new projects for the Blue Fern Studios blog.
As I usually create layouts, I really wanted to to create something different that comes from my heart.
I felt art journaling was the best way to express how I feel and to experiment with the chipboards, embossing powders and glitters.

I also really wanted to create grungy mixed media pages so I added lots of texture and movement.


"Imagination"


First I inked the background in green and yellow tones. Then I stamped the background using the Journey and Textured circles stamps.


The circle was created using thick texture paste. Then I sprinkled embossing powder on it and heat dried it. Finally I glued the beaded string chipboard piece that was embossed in verdant and seven seas embossing powder.
The Serendipity imagination title was embossed in the 14 Karat embossing powder.


I also used the lattice bits on my page which were embossed in seven seas, verdant and 14 karat embossing powders, too. The heart was embossed only in the 14 Karat embossing powder.
I also sprinkled some Fool's gold glitter on the background.



<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>

"Inspiration"

This is my second grungy texture mixed media journaling page.
This time I used a different set of colours and textures.



The tattered diamond bits chipboard was embossed in raspberry embossing powder. The Serendipity Inspiration word was embossed in the poinsettia embossing powder.




Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios Blog

Have a wonderful day!!

Love Story with Angelica

Hello friends! I'm happy to be here today to share three layouts I created using the beautiful new collection, Love Story. This is collection is so pretty and versatile. Some of the papers have vibrant bold colors and others are more subtle. Good for those shabby pages!

My first layout is based on the February Sketch. I used the lightest paper, The Grand Ball, for the base of my page and the Calling Card paper. I did some masking and used the little stars on the Forever Stamp for some texture.

I painted the Boston Lattice, Love, and Heart Set with heavy gesso. For the negative part of the heart I stamped with the Texture Stamp 1 when the gesso was still wet. It left a nice impression of the honeycombs. Once all the pieces were dry I did some misting for some color.

 
For my second page I want to use a whole different color combo from the sketch page. The reds and greens in the True Harmony paper is gorgeous.  I also used the Twenty One paper for layering. I painted the Brick Panel chippy with gesso and stucco paste. Then rubbed some ink on the raised texture.

 For the Cherish chippy I just painted it red and added glitter so it can pop from the page.


Finally, for my third page I've been waiting for the perfect time to use the Brown Eyed Girl Chippy.
The colors that I had in mind worked just right with the Sweet Song, Concerto, and Calling Card papers. I cut a bit off the end of the Beaded Strings chippy.


 
Thank you for visiting! I hope that I've inspired you!

Hello all BFS Fans. Today I'm coming with 3 mixed -media projects.

First one is Little canvas in summer colors with my son on it. I use Dot Grid Panel as background to my project. Those panels from BFS are awesome You can use them to whole 12''x12'' work or cut to pieces so many ways of use a single product ! . one of Memory Frames become frame to my photo and Dream Big sign is title and filling to my composition



This work is girly and messy. I made  background using leftovers from circlce pannels I had. I glued them layered , and covered all with gesso . I recomend thick product to do that . Then i made composition using Graduated Circles and Blue Fern Bits and one of theValentine's Word Set is title.

This work was inspired by amazing photo of little girl.  I use Beaded Strings The Optimist Word Set, Heart Set and Jeweled Page Dangles to enhance delicacy of this picture.

Save Those Punch-Outs Tutorial

Hello, Blue Fern fans! Jackie here today with a little tutorial about using those little bits of chipboard you might normally recycle.

I don't know about you, but as soon as I get an order of chipboard, I tend to punch out the little extra bits of chipboard. The pieces that I don't think will find use as design features on a one of my projects I put into a Ziploc bag to be used to add height in my layering later on. Those that I feel I will use go into another bag. But recently I've started looking at those castoff pieces in a different light, as parts of a whole.

Take the Garden Window set.


You might normally punch out the flourishes and set them aside (I did), but they make wonderful additional details to your piece.


If you are planning on reassembling your chipboard pieces, you want to be sure to use media that will just coat the top of the piece and not cause the sides to change dimension. For this reason I chose to use embossing enamel rather than paint.


I prefer my embossing ink in a dabber so that I have better control of where it goes (using either the dabber top or by removing the top and painting the ink on).


Cover your main piece with one colour of embossing enamel and heat emboss.


The white is pretty stark, so once it had cooled I went in with several colours of chalk ink to add some depth, making sure to heat set each colour before I added the next.


 I then heat embossed the insert pieces in a different colour of embossing enamel.


Here's what the finished piece looks like:


And my layout:


Some closeups:

From the Heart Set, misted.


A piece from the Shabby Brick Panel, treated in the same way as the Garden Window.


I love the shutters that go with the Garden Window - they seem very Old World to me. I've added the sprigs from the All Natural Set, treated with the same colour embossing enamel as the punch outs for some continuity and to give the impression of a window box. The "Click" is from the Picture Perfect Set.


The masking on the Parlour paper from Blue Fern Garden was done using Ceramic Stucco, which gives amazing texture and accepts other media beautifully - I coloured mine with mists and chalk ink.


I love the way chipboard pieces add so much interest to your flower clusters.


Thanks for stopping by today. I hope that you'll start looking at those little throwaway bits of chipboard in a new light!
