Two layouts and a Video Tutorial featuring the new Tranquility Collection

Hello everyone!
My projects today are featuring the new Tranquility collection, Tranquil Blooms, Roses and Lilies and the new products by Blue Fern. Let's take a look...
I love the soft colors of the Contentment and Serenity papers in this new collection. The sweet photo of my nieces goes perfect with it.   I made a video tutorial of this page that you can see at the end of the post.

My title is the Darling chipboard and the flowers are the new Tranquil Roses and Lilies.

I embossed and painted the Scalloped Border and cut out some flowers from the Contentment paper.

I framed my photo with the Oval Daisy Frame.

For my second project, I chose the warm colors from the Tranquility collection. My papers  are  the Calm and Jubilation.
The Tranquil Blooms and roses go perfect with these color tones .

Autumn Anthology with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, everyone! 

I'm here today to share my October Blue Fern Studios projects using the Autumn Anthology collection. Fall colors are a fave of mine, so this was just plain FUN!

 "Memories"

Starting with a vintage photo of my mom, I've used the Le Ballon and Mercantile paper as my base and focused on a few fave pieces of chipboard, the Oval Daisy Frame and the new French Ironworks .. so gorgeous! I painted them with some distress paint and then did some random embossing with a gold embossing powder. I was going for a very rusted look. I finished the pieces off with a dab of metallic patina. 

Of course, there is some mixed media in the background and use of the new Imagine Mist in Persimmon as well as the texture stamp. Persimmon is such a great color! I've fussy cut and layering in some pieces from the Calling Cards and some butterflies from Frolic Dans le Jardin. 

Close-ups:


Love to frame my photos with chipboard! 


This new French Ironwork is so intricate .. in love! 



I snipped it into two pieces and used some here.

"Love"

Next is just a very sweet romantic page of my daughter and her husband using the Gazebo paper. I've used lots of the new Imagine Ink mist in Leaf on my background to really give it some pop, then pulled the purple and gold flowers from the paper by adding similar 3 dimensional ones. I completed the background with Texture stamp. Behind the photo are Newsworthy and Calling Cards layered in. The little bird was fussy cut from the Newsworthy paper.

My Iron Signage, Ironwork Edges, Victorian Corner and Love from the Good Vibes set were all treated the same way. I first primed with gesso and then did a little experiment with some textured spray paint from the hardware store. Definitely something that needs to be done outside!! The smell is quite harsh but it gave the cupboard a fun look. After that dried completely, I misted all the pieces with some black mist.



The Doily Bunting (a fave) was left raw because it was a nice warm brown color and seemed to blend nicely as is with my photo. 


Love this new Iron Signage piece and can see myself using it a lot. 


I've been saving the Victorian Corner for just the right project and this was it.
 But now, it's on my re-order list!

"An Autumn Story" 

You've probably seen this one already because it was done using the October Sketch. The photo was of myself and one of my uncles taken many years ago at my Grandmother's farm. 



The title piece and Butterfly Friends were inked in brown, then some gold embossing was added to the butterflies for sparkle. 



Again, just some simple inking on the Seasonal Wildflowers and Berry Stems in green. Then I spritzed them with the new Leaf mist. Finally, I added a little glitter glue to the Wildflowers .. hardy ever use that stuff anymore!
