Three layouts, three collections by Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

I hope you enjoy summer and spending time outside with your family and friends....but also have some time to be creative!  There is some inspiration for you!  I play with three different collections of papers.

Jubilation:

This layout feature my parents and my oldest daughter.  She is  so happy when they are around!  We have the chance to have them near, so we often have some quality time with them! To create this layout, I use the Tranquility and the Attic charm paper collections.

For my background, I use the Serenity paper from the Tranquility Collection.  Then I randomly cut the Stillness paper (Tranquility collection) and the Calling cards paper (Attic Charm Collection). I glue those pieces on the background paper to had texture.  Then, I cover the hole thing with clear gesso and had some white gesso randomly.  When dry, I had some stamping with the Serenity Medley Stamp set and the Arcadia Texture stamp set.  Finally, I play with my inks.

For my title, I use the Blissful, Jubilation, Patience chipboard set.  I emboss it with the Imagine Ink Cotton Candy Embossing powder. To had texture to my creation, I use the Mesh Bits Chipboard set.  On this set, I had Imagine Ink Watermelon glitter.

On my layout, I use a variety of flowers.  I use some Courtship Blooms and Attic Charm Daisies.  The others where flowers from my stash.

Capture The Moment:

On this picture, you can see my two daughters ready for there dance show!  They love dance classes and the show, at the end of the season, is a moment that they are waiting for!  They are so proud.  I use the Tranquility Collection.

On this Layout, I use the Calm and the Jubilation paper from the Tranquility collection. I use both sides of those papers.  I tear them and glue them on a old and ugly paper from my stash (certainly not Blue Fern one! LOL). I recover the surface with clear gesso.  Then, i stamp with the Forever Stamp set and the Vintage Edges stamp set.  I had color with various blues inks.  Surrounding my picture, I use the Keepsake Frame Chipboard.  I cut it in two to make it wider.  I leave it natural, just had a little bit of with gesso with a dry brush.

For my title, I use the Captured Words chipboard set.  I Emboss it with the Imagine Ink In the Navy Embossing Powder. 

I use some Courtship Blooms and Tranquil Roses and lilies flowers from  Blue Fern. The printed ones are from my stash. The leaves are from the Natural springs Chipboard set.  I emboss the leaves in Imagine Ink Lime Embossing powder first. Then I had a touch of Imagine Ink Sage Embossing Powder. 

In the top corner, I use a piece from the Framed Trinquet Chipboard set.  Live it natural, but had a tiny bit of white gesso with a dry brush.

Blissful:

For my last creation, I use the Serenity Paper Collection.  This picture of Mathilde and me was taken at the airport, just before we take the plane for our last family vacation in France.  It was a very joyful moment.  What a good memory!

For my creation, I use 3 papers from the Serenity collection:  Reminisce, Calling cards and Contemplation.

On my background, I stamp with the Garden frolic Stamp set and the Arcadia Texture stamp set. I emboss the Garden frolic stamp with the Imagine Ink Petal Embossing powder.  For my title, I use the Blissful, Jubilation, Patience chipboard set.  I emboss it with the Imagine Ink Mushroom Embossing powder

To add texture to the layout, I use the Floral Lattice Bits chipboard set and leave it unaltered. The frame i use is the Circle Vine chipboard.  I emboss it with Imagine Ink Petal Embossing powder

Thanks for watching!  See you next month and don't forget to enjoy summer!  It is going so fast!

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.

May Inspiration With Debbie, Featuring Tranquility

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today sharing three layouts created with the new  Tranquility paper collection, Chipboard, and flowers.  I really enjoyed working with the new papers.  The muted tones in the Tranquility paper collection were a perfect match for some added vibrant pops of color.

 My first layout features the Blissful side B paper.  I added some random stamping with the Serendipity Medley and Romantic Accents stamps and misted with the Imagine Ink Winter Mint Mist.    The layers under the photo are from Calling Cards, Serenity and Patience. I also added flowers from the new Tranquil Blooms, Tranquil Lilies and Courtship Blooms.

I used the new Jubilation Corner Chipboard and embossed it with a mixture of the Mushroom, Melon, Cotton Candy and Sea Mist embossing powers. Aren't the new flowers pretty!!

To the right of my photo I used the Butterfly Friends, embossed with the same embossing powers that I used on the Jubilation Corner.

My title Serenity is from the Serenity, Calm, Hushed Chipboard set which I inked dark brown.
