October inspiration by Wendy Scholten

Hi All,

It's my turn on the blog for Blue Fern Studio's today and i have 3 layouts to show you.

The first one with a picture of me and our little girl when she was only 10 months old is called:

Adore

I made this with the Memoires collection. I love the autumn feel from this paper collection.

I used the Photographic Record paper as my background paper and a few calling cards behind my photo. Next i embossed my chipboard Rose frame with the Sand&Sea embossing powder and my title Adore with Fern embossing powder.
Then i made clusters with the pieces of chipboard, the Ivory braided trim and some flowers; Garden Florals and Wanderlust Lilies

Next i embossed my chipboard pieces: Looped Frames and the title Good vibes with Snow embossing powder.
And placed everything on my paper. Then i made clusters with the Happy roses, cut out flowers and some other embellishments from my own stash.

I used Starry Night embossing powder for my title Moment.

A little yellow flower from Attic Charm Daisy. I also added some pieces of new Happy Accident Chipboard.

 

For this layout I have used two main chipboard: 

Floral Medley Frame that I have cut in four pieces, 

two for the photo frame and two others to create dimension under picture.

I embossed it with a mixt of powder, Seven Seas and Stormy Skies.

At the end I have putted some gesso on it.

Bits of Honey that I have embossed with 14karats embossing powder. I also used the negative that I have to do the same process with embossing powder and after I colorized the outlines with black solvant ink.

You can see on this pictur that I've used Scratched stamps with yellow ink, and Postal Texture with black ink.

 

For finish this layout I added some flowers and others negative chipboard of Bits Of Honey.

This tiny blue flowers are from Chesterville Blooms, my favorite flowers so far, very beautiful, and working with her is a pleasure. And this wonderful yellow flower, is from Happy Blooms, matching with new collection Happy Accident.

For my second layout of mont, I chose Blessing paper from Happy Accident collection.

 

The main chipboard on this layout is Barb's Medallion, I've cut it in two pieces, because it's tiny and I wanted to see it on either side of the photo. I embossed it with a mix of new 

colors from Spring Parade collection, Morning Sun and Speckled Mint. 

 Below all element , I placed two frames that I've create 

with cardstock and two pieces of Fortuity paper.

 

I chose to work with peach flowers on this layout, for this I've taked

Happy Roses from Happy Accident and Chesterville Blooms from Chesterville Collection.

I know it's not from Blue fern Studio products but I really love my tiny message bottle... from my hand :) Just a few beads and a small roll paper ... 

 

My chipboard title Fairytale is emboss with the same mixt than 

my chipboard Barb's Medallion, Morning Sun and Speckled Mint coordinated with Spring Parade collection.

A few having some mini beads before embossing, for texture.

Hi Everyone,

I'm so happy to show you my projects for this month.

I created 3 layouts with 2 different collections including one with the new Happy Accident papers.

So let's start with the first one.

I used the Spring Parade for this one, i wanted to keep it simple so the picture really stands out.

I wonder from who she get's her goofiness , lol!

'Happiness'

I used the Sunday Best paper, a stencil with modeling paste and oil pastels with some water for the background. Behind my photo i used a piece of the Market place paper.

I chose the Happiness word from the Good Vibes word set, i used it with the new lavender eggs embossing powder.

And the other chipboard pieces are the Ginger Poppies, i used those with the snow embossing powder and tucked them behind my photo.

For my flower clusters i used the Chesterville Blooms, Harvest Lilies and a few of my own stash.

I used a mix of sequins to give it more color and playfulness.

Behind my photo i used some moddeling paste with a baroque stencil and some sprays for the color.

I also used the tattered newsprint stamp with the vintage gold embossing powder to give my background more color.

As my chipboard title i used The Big Day from the Wedding Words set which i embossed with the vintage Gold Embossing Powder.

March projects by Tartine Peluche

Hi Everyone!

Today it's my turn and I'm so excited to share with you my new projects.

For beginning, here is my first layout..

I used a paper from Chesterville collection.

I worked a lot on my background again, and I really love the result.

-It's your story-

The main chipboard is Rose Wreath which I cut into parts.

I embossed with the Snow embossing powder.

I wanted to give impression that the chipboard flowers were packed in fabrics.

I use coarse fabric jute. All the background is created from pearls and small rocks such as a packing full of jewelry. Just add some flowers harmoniously and the trick is played.

This chipboard is the rest of the Spirit of Heartland which I used last month on another layout. I simply embossed with Sand & Sea Embossing Powder after putting white gesso.

For this page I wanted to use white flowers, so I chose that of Heartland Blossom tissue.

Blue Fern Studios products I've used:
Paper:
Chesterville - Whitford
Chipboards:
- Rose Wreath
- Rose Frame
- Spirit of Heartland
Imagine Ink Embossing Powder:
- Sand & Sea
- Snow
Flowers:Heartland Blossom

------------------------------

For the second layout you can see my face, a page I made with everything I love.

This page is really me a condensed of my style. Hope you love it.

- Bonheur -

I started my layout with Generation from Attic Charms collection.

I created my background with Crackles Texture and Serendipity stamps. I put some texture paste and work with inks. A few small rocks and beads an a little bit of mika flakes and some bits of thread gave the result of my background ... and you know everything.

I chose the perfect flower, that of the collection Harvest Lilies.

For chipboard, I wanted a small frame to accompany that of paste fimo that I made.

The kit Sweet & Lucky was perfect to use as a frame; I used the '' Lucky ''. I started by coating it with white gesso and used a thermal powder ( heat & stick powder ) When heated to heat gun this powder becomes a super adherent for glitter. So for this one I put the powder and then Pyrite Glitters.

My Title comes from the French Words kit. I chose Bonheur ( Happiness ) because it reflected well the energy of the photo.

Paper:Attic Charms - Generation
Chipboards:-Sweet & Lucky

Imagine Ink Embossing Powder:

------------------------------

And the last one for this month, my lovely dream catcher.

I really love this layout I'm really proud of the result.

- Believing -

I used Preston from Chesterville paper collection.
Like the other pages I made mybackground in the same way.

Texture paste, paints, inks and small embellishments.

I used two chipboards to create my dream catcher. The Jeweled frame and the dream catcher.
I altered them separately and then tied them together with a rope.
For chipboard Dream Catcher I simply covered with black gesso and used a mauve and opalescent fushia paint. Then I added some beads and rhinestones. The other chipboard, the jeweled frame, I made it simpler. Just a little powder to emboss silver on the chain parts and opalescent gray paint.

I used the pink flowers of Courtship Lane Collection, Courtship Roses.

I added a last chipboard, one from the Spring Trinkets kit, I worked like the Dream Catcher, black gesso and purple opal paint and fushia.
