June inspiration by Elena Volchkova

Hi everyone! Today, I have prepared three layouts using Attic Charm Collection. And I'm happy to show it to you. They are very romantic. Because this collection is very romantic and tender. But you are now convinced.

"Little princess roses" layout

This layout about one pretty girl. This layout for the little princess, who loves flowers. I used the Attire paper from the Attic Charm Collection as my background paper. Very gentle scrap paper!

This large butterfly from "Tattered Butterflies" set flew to greet our princess.

"Great Outdoors" from All Natural Set I covered with Imagine Ink Fuchsia embossing powder. And the green leaves covered with Imagine Ink Lime embossing powder and watercolor paints.

Two butterflies - large butterfly from "Tattered Butterflies" set was covered with mixture of Imagine Ink embossing powders in Mystic Plum and Fuchsia, which give the the perfect combination! A little butterfly - it from vellum on which you can see Serendipity Medley Stamp with Imagine Ink Fuchsia embossing powder.

And then you can see in the background mix of glitters - Sunshine and Orange Peel. They are so sunny!

Flower from "Tranquil Blooms" set and "Tranquil Roses and Lilies" set create a romantic atmosphere for lovers.

April Creations From Maja

Hello everyone, welcome to the Blue Fern Studios blog today!

I have a couple of projects to share, I hope you'd find them inspiring :-)
Let me start with a wedding card I created using the Serendipity collection.

I used some left-overs from my previous projects and created a layered background - I mounted the pieces on 3D dots as I love dimension:

I wrapped one of the pieces in white lace - it looks like a bride's veil ;-) and also adds lightness and elegance:

For the central element I used the gorgeous Frills Panel that I heat-embossed with Oatmeal ep and then added some pastel flowers selected from the Serendipity flower sets. I also added string bows and decorative studs to complete my design:

Wedding Card:
Papers: Serendipity: Anticipation, Contemplation, Inspiration
Chipboard: Frills Panel
EP: Oatmeal
Flowers: Courtship Roses, Courtship Blooms


Another card I made is a more universal card withe the sentiment stamp that says "Best wishes".

For this one I used the lilac papers from the Courtship Lane collection for my background. I layered them and distressed:

The chipboard piece I used for this card is the beautiful Township Collage. I sprayed it white to keep the silhouette look and used it as a guide to place the flowers and butterflies:

As the finishing touch I splashed some golden mist over the background and added some liquid pearls here and there:

Best Wishes:
Papers: Courtship Lane: Main Street, East Plaza; Frolic: Dans Le Jardin
Chipboard: Township Collage
Flowers: Courtship Roses


Time to take to some larger projects :-) Here's the layout I created for our April sketch challenge (have you participated yet? ;-)). I chose a marine theme for my page that features the photo of my boys on one of our sailing trips:

I like to follow sketches quite faithfully, not just use them as general inspiration. And so I tried to recreate the layers and elements included in the sketch, even the quotation tag is the same ;-) I added some stamping in the background:

The swirl in the sketch reminded me of sea waves, and so I used the Circle Groups piece, heat-embossed with Breeze and Oatmeal eps. I also embossed the title word, using Breeze and Ginger eps.

For my flower cluster I used some mulberry flowers as well as real seashells :-)

Anticipation:
Papers: Serendipity: Anticipation, Contemplation, Reminisce, Calling Cards
Chipboard: Circle Groups, Serendipity Words 1
Stamps: Journey, Essential Textures
EP: Breeze, Oatmeal, Ginger


And last but not least, a home decor piece I created based upon one of my favourite BFS panels, the Shabby Brick Panel:

I used my favourite colour combo of golden cream, light turgouise and gold colour palette, selecting some papers from the Blush collection:

Among many layers matting the photo I placed the beautiful Swan Gate chipboard that I embossed using the Ginger and Sea Mist eps.

...and the smallest piece from the Roman Clock Set Large. I embossed the outer frame with Ginger and the clockface with Oatmeal eps.

The title piece is the beautiful Family piece:

This projects could be put in frames, but can also be hung directly on the wall :-)

Family:
Papers: Blush: Charmed, Fondness, Key to My Heart
Chipboard: Shabby Brick Panel,Roman Clock Set Large, Swan Gate, Family
EP: Sea Mist, Ginger, Oatmeal
Stamps: Forever
Flowers: Courtship Blooms

That's all for today, thank you for visiting and see you later! :-)

Lots of Blue Fern Studios goodness with Bente.

Hi there friends of Blue Fern Studios.

 I am so happy you came to see what I have prepared for you this time :-) Winter is now definitely upon us and what more perfect collection to use for those crisp winter photos than the beautiful Vintage Christmas.

My first page showcases a couple of older photos of my youngest daughter as I wanted to scrap pictures with snow .This year it hasn't snowed yet :-) Sorry the pictures are not great. It's pretty dark up here in the Nordic countries at the moment :-) 

I used the Holiday Vine chipboard and the title Sparkle is from the Winter Titles set.

Here are a couple of close ups:

I used the Petal embossing powder as well as the Pyrite glitter to embellish my page.

My next project is an alterd frame. It was so much fun to make.

 I painted one of the  words from the Delight set and also one of the Vintage Labels. 
The perforated arrow is from the Directions set. The paper collection is Autumn Anthology.

To top off this creation I used the beautiful Ornate Shelf as something similar to a roof.

This next layout you may recognize as it was part of this months sketch reveal  HERE.

Even here I used Vintage Christmas. The French Ironwork-chipboard behind my photos is such a stunning piece! This time I painted it gold and used one of the Blue Fern Studios Texture stamps
 to emboss it.

 I used a mixture of hnd made and bought flowers.
Of course I used the Vintage Christmas papers even for the flowers! :-)

And then my last  page for today,also with the latest collection and some more fabulous chipboard!

I used the Chain link panel ,just lightly covered in gesso and the Framed Winter Words with some added glitter. Here is a closer look at some details :

Again I used a mixture of store bought and handmade flowers using the beautiful red Deck the Halls sheet

I love the look of the chipboard panel peeking out from behind the beautiful paper :-)

That was all for today, well done if you made it all the way to the end!!

I wish you all a wonderful wek end. I knowI am really looking forward to some free time!
Thanks for looking!!
