February projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans.

Vera is here to share some projects with the very new and amazing Chesterville collection and also one layout with Heartland as I fell in love with the wonderfull blooming papers.

Let's start with Chesterville.  Hargrave became the background for my first project. The layout has been created for a good friend of mine.  I framed the photo into large Circle flourish chipboard covered with lime and antique gold embossing powder.

 

I also added some stamping with Texture 1 set.

 

Chesterville looks wonderful with cut elements from other collections, for exaple with mushrooms cut from Autumn antology.

I also decorated the layout with the Lifetime header covered with antique gold embossing powder and a Spring lily.

My second project proves that Chesterville collection may be used even for wedding purposes. I have created two wedding cards. Chesterville - Bretton became the background.

The die cut frame and leaves are made of Buckley sheet.

 

I decorated the cards with Little birds chipboards, Bits of honey and Winter lilies. Chipboards are covered with Icicle embossing powder.

And for the dessert today is the bright pink wedding layout with Heartland collection. Kiss Kiss background and a lot of fussy cutting from Red Rose Ball and Love Song serenade.

You can see numerous layers here. I achieved that with the help of chipboards: floral lattice bits covered with Icicle embossing powder, Spirit of Heartland painted with acrylic paint and the bird covered with Fools gold glitter.

There is some texture stamping with  Iris embossing powder. And the Header cut from Together is the best place to be. It seemed too long to me so I decided to leave the rest for another layout))

Heartland with Daria

Today we are excited to once again feature our "Blue Fern Fan of the Month", Daria Makarova.  For this week's layout, Daria has used the lovely "Sweet on You " paper from the Heartland Collection.

Daria used this paper "because it is very beautiful and romantic".  She has added some texture paste and a few layers of paper to build the background.  The chipboard pieces (Quatrefoil Panel and Chesterville Collage) have been painted, then embossed using Blue Fern Wheat Embossing Powder.

The leaf accents are from a stamped image that was embossed with Wheat Embossing Powder, then cut out and tucked behind the photo.

Daria has added flowers from the Heartland Roses and Blooms, Spring Lilies, and Courtship Roses.  Sprinkled throughout her layout you can also see where she has stamped bits of the Royale Collage Stamp.

A big thank you to Daria for using the Heartland Collection in such a gorgeous way.

Be sure to check back next week when we will have another layout from Daria!

Hi Everyone!

Today, it's my turn on the Blue Fern Studios blog and I'm so excited to share with you my new projects. A new collection will be soon announced and I had the pleasure to work it to show it to you.
One of my favorites at this time, I tell you, you must have it!

For beginning, here is my first layout : Believe.
I used a paper from the collection Timeless, another of my favorites.
I worked a lot on my background and used very few embellishments.
The chipboard being the main element of my page.

  

I choose the chipboard " Bordeaux Layered Frame " and I worked with texture paste.
Then I played the inks to give it a patina effect.

On the background I used the stamps Grungy Grid and Scratched with a solvent brown ink and a lot of work with texture paste, beads and others small embellishments gave the final touch of my layout.

I used several small flowers, including the white ones of the collection Heartland Roses and Blooms.
Then I emboss and cut a butterfly from a stamp, with Ginger embossing powder.

One of the details of my chipboard that I prefer is the lace that I glued to the back. It gives a totally shabby effect that I love.

Blue Fern Studios products I've used:

Paper:
Timeless - Couture
Chipboard:
- Bordeaux Layered Frame
Imagine in Embossing Powder:
- Ginger
Stamps:
- Grungy Grid

My second layout and the last one are made with the new collection coming out soon: Chesterville

For the first of two: Que sera sera.
I used two papers: Chester and Holmes.
I simply put a brush stroke of black gesso in the top left corner to the bottom of the page. Then I added a piece of Holmes paper and I embossed it with stamp Scratched and Black Sand embossing powder. As the paper has a checkered background I used a stencil with the same pattern. I did the same thing in the other two corners.

Some close-ups:

For the main chipboard Treasured Floral Frame I applied white gesso and Black Sand embossing powder, then, with a brush, I painted some places with purple wax.

I covered the chipboard with white gesso and I embossed it
with Black Sand embossing powder then I applied a purple wax.

All small flowers were painted in purple and embossed
with the stamp Scratched and Black Sand embossing powder.

I used the purple flowers of the collection Courtship Roses.

My last layout for this month: Smile all day long.

For this one I had created also with papers from Chesterville collection.
Background was realised with texture paste and stamps Crackles Textures, Coarse Fabrics and Serendipity Medley, some times used with brown solvent ink and other times with Ginger embossing powder. All the rest was worked with inks and embellishments of different sizes.

I used two chipboards for this project. One from the new collection,Chesterville, that I just embossed with Black Sand embossing powder and the other one, Organic Vine,
that I painted in green ink by playing the shades of color.
The wonderful green flower of Late Winter Lilies was perfect, I also added white roses fromes Heartland Roses and Blooms.
