May Inspiration by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans,
Summer is almost here and I've started getting ready for the travel season.
Today I've prepared some amazing sea inspired projects and one more layout for my wedding album. I promissed myself to create at least one per month.

But first let's dive deep into my seaside memories.
Here is the layout with the picture taken a couple of years ago in Porec (Croatia). This year we are traveling to the same place so I will have some more wonderful photos to scrap )

Some yellow and blue make the page really bright. I've used water colors and Starry night embossing powder.

 The chipboard tree is embossed with Mushroom powder.

There are some extra detailes stamped with Travel time stamp set (including the title)

And here is my traditional off the page project. This month it is amazing sea photo album with the veriety of Blue Fern Studios flowers and papers.

 

How I love the mix of flowers, lace and wooden parts. They look really amazing on the jeans cover.

 I mixed Wanderlust and Seaside cottage papers.

Pieces of lace add charm to the album.

With a lot of fussy cut elements the album loog really great.

 The construction remind of a folder.

Tranquility Layouts and video tutorial by Keren Tamir

Hi everyone,

Its Keren here on the Blue Fern Studios blog with two projects using the new Tranquility collection.

I used the Jubilation paper as the background because I love the woodgrain effect for my beach layout.

I have a video tutorial below on how I created this project.

"Happy"

This is another layout I created with the Tranquility collection this month.

It has different tones which shows the versatility of this collection.

I used the bourbon stamp to create the textured background. I stamped and embossed using the Auburn embossing powder.

The Shrine chipboard frame was first embossed in Mushroom embossing powder and then stamped and embossed with the Auburn embossing powder.

The romantic dangle was embossed in the Chilli Powder embossing powder. I also used it to stamp and emboss the butterflies in the background.

All the flowers are also from Blue Fern Studios as they've now started selling matching flowers to their collections.

Three layouts ideas with the new tranquility collection made by Wilma Voermans..

Today I would love to show you three different mixed media layouts .

All three made with the tranquility collection.

I love the line , it has many possibilitys.


My first layout is one with a grunge beach look.
On the beach you always find things like old wood, bitses and pieces.
On most of my beach layouts I like to use that feeling by adding things I find around me.
I started with the Contentment paper.
The B-side is perfect for a beach look.

I wanted a sandy feeling to the whole layout.

I added many layers, starting with joint compound in my background .

It has already a sandy feeling.

Two colors glimmerspray ,  turqoise and sandcolor.

Next some paper from a old notebook , very light swimmpearls

 (the ones you use in flowerarrangements).

Around my picture pieces of a old shirt .

A little story about the titel ....

I came home and found my best shoes half eaten by my dog.....

I was very angry and dissapointed, but it is a dog that was found on the streets of Spain

She still has to learn some domestic things :)

So I thought, take the pieces and use the brandname as a titel.

On the layout you see more pieces I collected on the ground from my beloved shoes.

I used two chipboard pieces, seaside charms and Frolic mesh.

 Stippled light gesso and than used three different embossingpowders .

I sprinkled them all three in the wet gesso and just heatet it here and there.. 

I did the same in the background, but did not heat at all.

The three colors: oatmeal, ginger and mushroom.

They gave me the perfect sandy look I wanted.

*******

My next layout was based on the Stillness title that comes with the Tranquility collection.

The background paper is the b-side of the Serenity paper.

I used the May sketch for the design:

I totally love the tranquil foliage chipboard piece .

With the title and mood of the picture I did not want too much on the page.

Sometimes enough can be enough for me.

The circle is a negative piece of chipboard that I never throw away.

ITo all the chipboard I stippled gesso .

When it was not completly dry I sprenkled orange Peel glitter .

After that a little sage embossingpowder.

I heatet with the heatgun, but not too much.

It gave me a rough surface.

On the title also the gesso, orange Peel glitter and some orange paint.

When it was still wet I went over the under part with gesso .

Just lightly to get the ombre effect. 

*******

For the last layout I wanted a soft babyfeeling without getting sweetness all over the place.

I think the picture has enough sweet in it :) 

I used the Stillness paper as my background aswell as behind the picture.

Behind and between I used a chipboard piece that comes to the Attic Charm collection.

This collection will be released soon !

I embossed it with Pearl embossing powder .

After that it got some gesso with pinkish ecoline here and there.

The heart was embossed with Garned Embossing and dulled down with gesso.

The title was very easy, just some black ink that gets into the chipboard very easy.

Thank you so much for visiting the blog and looking at my monthly post.
