Bente's August post using Frolic and Paisley & Vine.

Hi, Bente here saying hello!
Today I have a couple of pages to share with you that use the two latest collections 

called Frolic and Paisley & Vine. 

These are both sooo beautiful and Frolic is possibly the most beautiful collection EVER!!!

I used the sheet Friendship from the Frolic collection and the word peeking out from below the photo is part of the Memeory Frames set. I painted it blue as I did with part of the title chipboard Frolic in the Sun. As an added decoration i used the beautiful Boston Lattice.

In this close up you can see how I painted the title and also how I clear embossed my lattice piece with utee after painting it white.

I just love this shot of my DD from a couple of summers back :-)

I picked some colours that work well with the photo and had a play on the background. I made the tiny splashes with my old discarded tooth brush like my FIL once taught me. 

  

One last look :-)  

My second page is to remind me of a wonderful day not long ago when we celebrated my eldest DD's graduation in the UK.

I used Passion, Playing cards and Splendor from the Paisley & Vine line for my graduation-page.

I thought the  Destination Labels were perfect for this. I mixed some paint to get one similar to the teal of the collection. And I used a black pen to outline the letters etc.

I like this photo so much I had to scrap three of it :-)

I added pop dots to raise some of my page- elements and create more dimension.

That's all from me today. Thanks for taking a look!!

August Projects by Melinda Thompson

Hello everyone,

I have 2 layouts to share with you today showcasing some super super gorgeous Blue Fern Chipboard and papers.

My first layout is using the Deja Vu collection papers again.. I started with the layering 2 peices of paper from the collection as my base then I placed the gorgeous Butterfly Grid over the top which I covered in Gesso first.

"Memories"

Before I stuck my Butterfly Grid down I partially cut out come of the butterflies to "lift" them off the page and make them come to life.  This was perfect way to show this photo of my little man who is always outside, its his favourite place to be, always trying to catch butterflies.

Products Used:

Papers: Deja Vu

Chipboard:  Butterfly Grid, Memory Frames, Picture Perfect

My next layout is using papers from the Ombre Dreams Collection.  Don't think I will ever tire of using that collection.

I have added lots of masculine type chipboard to this layout. I love to layer and layer my chipboard to create lots of demension, texture and interest to my page.

"Bros"

I always start with covering my chipboard with Gesso.  This will hold any colour of ink to your chipboard.  I glue everything down and then I add my colours.  Using a fine paint brush I randomly flick my colours around and spreading it further by misting it with water.

Products Used:

Papers: Ombre Dreams

Chipboard:  Circle Links, Cogs and Gears, Faucets, Hooks and Keys, Lightbulbs, Moving Parts, Techno-Scape, Software Peices

Thank you so much for stopping by:)

Bente's July inspiration.

Hi, I hope all of you in the northern hemisphere are enjoying a lovely Summer, 

and that the Winter is not too bad on the rest of you :-) 

Today I have some layouts to share with you that are absolutely 'fresh from the press' so to speak.

I was in the UK last week celebrating my eldest daughters graduation from university and 

when I got back I had to finish my projects rapidly!! 

-But with such awesome products to play with it's not a problem:-)

My first page is based upon a pink paper from the Montage collection. 

On top is a paper from the Deja Vu collection. As yo can see the collections mix very well.

-Especially when you add a litttle mixed media here and there. :-)
I 'framed' the whole page with the largest sized Graduated Squares, painted white then inked around.

 The gorgeous piece of chipboardbelow the picture is one of the recent shapes and called
  Rock Wall Bits. I painted it beige , stapmed on it and addedsome pink glitter. The part of the Grunge Frames chipboard piece above the photo was given the same treatment. I just love to add glitter to my pages at the moment :-)

The cute small dots scattered all over my page are the insides of then alpha stickers that I used.

I used the Montage collection for my second project. I love all the lovely yellow papers in that collection:-)

And here are some close ups of the details.

I used one of the Memory Frames as my title and hid it partially behind my photo.

The arrows are from the Directions set and simply painted black.

Making banner-pieces or mats behind the photos are such great ways to use up those left over pieces from your favourite patterned papers.

And finally here is my page for the current sketch challenge that you can find HERE.

The chipboards I used are:
Laughter, Happy, Smile and Floral Clock.

And a closer peek at some of the details:

That's all from me for today!! 

Have a good week! 

Yuko's June projects.

Hello!Friends❤
There are  Blue Fern Studios  DT projects for June.

I made 3 works this month with DéjàVu line.

【LOVE】

<Paper>～Love story～ The Grand Ball　　～Déjà Vu～Luminaries・Petites Cartes

<Chipboard> Ornate shelf・memory frame ・Chermed Page Dangles・Page Chains

It is former collection "love story" to have used as a mount,

 but is just new discovery with " DéjàVu"collection!

I like combination of this purple x yellow.

A part in Chaemed and a part of a chain are a different chipboard.

It's connected and used.

This large chip board (Ornate shelf) was also easy to use surprising.
Although large chip board will get a little hesitant to buy

When it's used, there is an existence sense as expected, and it's nice!

【moment IN TIME】

<Paper>～Déjà Vu～  Atelier・Luminaries・Petites Cartes

<Chipboard>Jane's Screen Door・Rose Bouquet

I made use of a patterned paper  of very pretty pink  and made it with a pretty atmosphere.

This chipboard (rose bouquet) will be gorgeous and be the good accent.

After I didn't distinguish by using different colors small this time and applied the whole in white by JESSO.

White with lame was applied shimmerz and butter cream was given a ride at random.

It'll be the feeling that an expression may go out more than snow white.

 【sweet heart】

<Paper>～Déjà Vu～  Atelier・Luminaries・Petites Cartes・Friperies・Tresors

<Chioboard>Iron Railing・Lovebirds set   

This was made with a picture of the rose garden performed the other day.

Was really beautiful flowers is full !

A chipboard of this barrier (Iron Railing) was colored with shimmerz and liquid Pearl was put on a point.

The Déjà Vu line you do not get tired of some made even !

Really is a favorite! ! !

The purple that not only it is sweet, but also is slightly chic is good!

Thank you！

Yuko 

Cover, layout+tutorial from Elena Morgun

Hello, friends, it's Elena Morgun here today

I recently have received the Déjà Vu Collection. It's just wonderful!

I am fond of purple color and I fell in love with this collection at the first sight. New stamps are gorgeous, too! There are background stamps... and also the stamps with the large elements, which I like stamping on the cellum and then use them as separate die cuts.

And todayI'll be inspiring you with the layout and step-by-step video tutorial, and the soft cover for the album on the rings.

"Sweet" layout

There's my Mom on the right on the photo. 

The chipboard I pained with spays and the accents are added with watercolors. The word Sweet I covered with Patina from Ranger. I like how convenient it is to work with these bottles, and also this paint adds some dimention to the project. You really should try it out with the chiboard!

Enjoy the video!
