Celebrating My Freedom To Create This 4th Of July By: Renea Harrison

Happy 4th Of July!!! I hope this Independence Day finds those of you who celebrate, enjoying time with your family and friends, and enjoying so many of the freedoms that we as American's have.

Today, I am celebrating my freedom to create in three different styles. First up is a Shabby Chic layout that I created using the Blue Fern Studios Courtship Lane Paper Collection. 


I started with a layer of Blue Fern Studios Courtship Lane~Main Street Paper, and then layered on another layer of Courtship Lane Bourbon Avenue Paper, that I did some stenciling with texture paste, corner rolling and distressing on. I then added a layer of lace and then took more of the paper collection and created a matte for my photo.


At the corner of my photo, I took a Blue Fern Studios Courtship Violin Chipboard Piece, and crackle painted the violin portion of the piece, letting it air dry to get a deep crackle finish, and then I rubbed different layers of purple and lavender ink over the top to bring out the textures.



I then colored the greenery part of the piece with markers, and then used an embossing ink dabber to randomly add in, and  coated it with some Imagine Ink Sage Embossing Powder to get a raised two tone surface.


I then added some mulberry flowers, a daisy from the Blue Fern Attic Charm Flower Collection, some burlap string bows and a sweet metal heart.


Next, I took some Blue Fern Garden Lattice Bits, coated them in embossing ink, and then coated them with Imagine Ink Mystic Purple Embossing Powder, heat set the powder, and added on some pearl accents, and placed the bits randomly around the edges of my layout.



I added some more mulberry flowers to the top lattice piece along with some a matching burlap string bow. To top my piece off, I added in some of my handcrafted Dragonflies for dimension.


Here with this side shot, you can see all the dimension and texture that those amazing Blue Fern Products can help you create!!

For my second project this month, I wanted to create something with a bit more of a grunge feel to it. I love playing with color and inks, and sometimes like to challenge myself to create without using flowers or the more feminine embellishments that most work that I see contains. It challenges me to step outside the box and to be more creative, and I love that the Blue Fern products allow me to still create something amazing and visually stimulating without having to grab a package of flowers, or any fluff.


I started with a layer of Blue Fern Tranquility~Calm Paper,  and then layered on a second layer of Blue Fern Tranquility~Patience Paper, tearing the right side, and heavily inking that edge, then layered on a 3rd layer of Blue Fern Tranquility Serenity Paper, that I distressed and inked the edges on, and then tore and heavily inked the right side edge, layering it over the 2nd layer, so that the 2nd layer so that it peeked out, then layered in some film strip transparencies. I then used texture paste and a stencil to create the raised texture on the paper, spraying it with 3 different layers of spray stain to capture the colors I used in the layout.


I created a background layer by taking corrugated cardboard and spraying it with 3 different layers of spray stain, and then inking the edges. I grabbed a Blue Fern Grunge Frame,

and first stained it with a brown color, then used a clear embossing ink dabber randomly, added coated it with Imagine Ink Seven Seas Embossing Powder, and heat set it, then randomly dabbed with the clear ink again, coated it with Imagine Ink Peackock Embossing Powder, heat set it and then inked back over the whole piece. I then distressed and inked the edges of my photo and added it on.



The clock pieces are Blue Fern Small Roman Clocks that I stained and layered in.


Here you can see all the dimension of all the layering in that I did with the gorgeous Blue Fern papers and embellishments.


The "Story" piece o my layout is a chipboard piece from the Blue Fern~Story, Fairytale, Magic Set. For this piece I inked it in 2 different colors, randomly dabbed it with an embossing ink dabber and then coated it with Imagine Ink Copper Embossing Powder, and heat set it~YUM!!


For the finishing touches I rolled some of the paper scraps and tied them with burlap string bows, added some More of the film strips, a paper button and some metal accents. I just love those blues and browns in the Tranquility line, so bold and so perfectly grungy!!

For my final project this month, I decided to do a Mini Album with a Magical Fairy Theme using the Blue Fern Studios Attic Charm Paper Collection:


I used a gate fold album that was perfect for using the Blue Fern Royal Gate Chipboard to create a piece where the gate actually opens. The cover was layered with Blue Fern Attic Charm~Haberdashery Paper.


A Side View.


I did a crackle finish on the gate and then heat embossed it with Imagine Ink Pearl Embossing Powder, and then over inked it with a gold color.


The edges of the album are coated in a pink Glitter Glass. The "Magic" piece is from the Blue Fern Story, Fairytale, Magic Chipboard Set. I heat embossed the piece with a mixture of  Imagine Ink Honey & Buttercup Embossing Powders, and then went over the edges with some green ink to highlight it.



I added flower and feather details. The Daisy, and small green flower are from the Blue Fern Attic Charm Daisies and Courtship Blooms Flower Collections.


When you open the right side of the gate. you are greeted with a Blue Fern Attic Charm Calling Card.



When you open up the whole album, it folds out to a large sectional that is layered with Blue Fern Attic Charm~Curio Paper, lace and a large Blue Fern Gazebo Chipboard Piece that I painted white. The edges are done out in Imagine Ink Blue Ice Glitter.


Page 1 and 2  are covered in Blue Fern Attic Charm~Spring Posy Paper, with pockets created from Attic Charm~Foyer Paper, along with 3 pull outs and a booklet piece created from the Attic Charm~Calling Cards Paper. Details include: lace and a sweet bunny from the Blue Fern Chipboard All Natural Set that I painted white.


Pages 3 and 4  feature Attic Charm~Foyer Paper, and a Blue Fern Attic Stairs Chipboard Piece that I heat embossed with Imagine Ink Oatmeal Embossing Powder.


Pages 5 & 6 feature Attic Charm~Generation Paper, and have to heart doily accents.


Pages 6 & 7 are covered in Attic Charm~Generation Paper, and lace.


Pages 8 & 9 are covered in Attic Charm~Attire Paper, and the page 9 features a Blue Fern Lace Round Chipboard Piece that was heat embossed with Imagine Ink Sage Embossing Powder.


Pages 10 & 11 feature Attic Charm~Calling Card Paper, with Calling Card Cut Outs for accents, along with a garden fairy die cut and a wildflower from the Blue Fern All Natural Chipboard Set that I colored the stem with a marker and then inked the flower head on.


The last set of pages gives you this fold out appearance that matches the the very 1st fold out section using Attic Charm~Curio Paper.



The back of the album is covered in Attic Charm~Spring Posy Paper with the edges finished out in glitter glass.


I hope that you have enjoyed all of my projects this 4th of July, and that you find the time to to grab some of those YUMMY Blue Fern products for yourself, and celebrate your freedom to create!! Hugs ~Renea

"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.

3 different collections with Yuko


Hello!Blue Fern Studios funs!
It's Yuko here!




【WHAT  A  wonderful DAY】
My family went to the memorial trip last month married 10 anniversary.
We took the photo at the same location as 10 years ago!

It was a wonderful experience!

Precious memories!

Because I wanted to express the clean and gorgeous feeling of Chapel

I chose this TIMELESS collection!


 Used tulle and white bird with the image of a wedding.

Clipboard (dangle) was embossed in parl.
It is clean out a little luster.

Such as the pattern of the letters and these bottles of paper
I feel good looks very little vintage.

Also processing the embossed of parl to the heart of the chip board,
 put a gold liquid Pearl from the top that.




<Blue Fern Studios>
Paper :  TIMELESS Artistique/ Calling Cards/Couture
Chipboard  : Romantic Page Dangles/Lace Heart Border
Embossing Powder/Pearl






【Journey】
These photos were taken by a Taketomi Island visited on the trip.

Because it was the color to red point
I chose the photo that is reflected in the bright red hibiscus and bougainvillea.



After the chipboard colored with ink
I was tracing with a pen of lame.


Chip board of the film was embossed with oatmeal.
Really this color is an excellent color can also be used to elegant to casual!





<Blue Fern Studios>
Paisley & Vine : Bohemian/Pathway/Playing Cards/Splendor/Whimsy
Chipboard : Journey, Explore, Discover/Film Strips/Directions
Enbossing Powder/Oatmeal







The other work is using the April sketch.


Paper used was a little nostalgic Frolic Collection.

The title was used for embossing powder 14karat.
This color also uses well with your favorite !


And Circle punch the card stock in the background, using the created template
I put a glitter paint a bond there.

This color and is beautiful!
The name is CARIBBEAN.


Finely skip the white paint
To have toned down as multiplied by the veil softly.
