Sail Away With Me Layout Blue Fern Studios Seaside Cottage collection

 Hey Blue Fern Studios Friends I am sharing my latest layout using Blue Fern Studios Seaside Cottage collection,  isn't it Gorgeous?  

I started with Glory double sided paper from Seaside Cottage collection,  distressed the edges with Tim Holtz paper distresser and a paper punch.  Then I inked the edges with Tim Holtz Speckled Egg Distress Dioxide,  love that color!   

I created background texture using Bring your own sunshine stamp set and the new Netting stencil using texture paste,  embossing powder and glitter.

I also did diecutting and tearing with paper from Seaside Cottage papers.

For the chipboard piece I added acrylic paint in mint then added white embossing powder.

I also added lace from the Seaside Cottage collection and then started creating my design with layers of diecuts,  the chipboard,  flowers,  crocheted doilies and cheesecloth.

I also used diecuts from the Ephemera pack.

I can't wait to create more with this collection,  I love anything beachy themed and these colors are some of my favorites!

I hope I've inspired you to create something beautiful with this collection!

Be sure to share your beautiful projects with us on Facebook at Blue Fern Fanatics page.

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Creating!

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.

April Inspiration - Joanne Bain

Hi Everyone!!

Joanne here with you today to share a couple of layouts and a tutorial using gorgeous Blue Fern products.

For my first layout I mixed and matched collections. I have used papers from Amber & Apricot, Wanderlust and Seaside Cottage. I amazes me how beautifully the collections mix and match.

'My Loves'

So for this page was created with lots of fussy cut images from the different papers to create the dimensional cluster. The birds, brown leaves and yellow roses were cut from Birdsong and Sunny Deposition papers from the Amber And Apricot collection.

To get the fussy cut rose to blend into the paper I used the Penned Flourishes stamp and stamped a little more over the papers edge with black ink. It helped to blend it in perfectly.

In between each layer I added folded flowers and shredded cheesecloth to add extra interest and texture.

The frame around the top of my photo was cut from the In the Mood chipboard sheet and covered with some of the Seaside Cottage Mermaid patterned paper.

For my second layout I chose to go back to a favourite of mine white background. I chose to add fussy cut layers and add some of the Blue Fern mixed media ingredients. I have also created a step by step tutorail so maybe you can try your own or put your own spin on it.

'My Inspiration'

To create the main cluster I started by fussy cutting the flourishes from the Garden Life Morning Dew patterned paper.

In between each of the fussy cut layers I added a mixture of flowers and frayed cheesecloth. The background was created with a mixture of mica powders and paints. As I like my clusters to be tight I only allowed a little of the colour to show from behind.

In the background I also added Blue Fern seedlings and glitters. The main flower is one of the gorgeous white roses from the Garden Blooms set which was recoloured to coordinate with layout.

For the title I cut down the Blue Fern You Are My Inspiration chipboard title to just my inspiration bcause that is what my children are. All chipboard was left entirely raw.

And here is my tutorial, I hope you enjoy it.
