July inspiration by Tartine Peluche

Hi everyone!

I'm back to share with you my new layouts of month.

My first one is :

The young woman was silent ...

For this layout I have to work in layer, several paper of the collection Happy Accident,

 a few paper cut and my chipboards.

I used Fortuity paper.

First my background is very simple a little cheese cloth here and there and some stamping with Serendipity medley and Grungy grid stamp. 

In the foreground the title "Story" embossed with the embossing powder "Copper". 

Under this one a chipboard of the kit "Spring Trinkets" embossed with Snow embossing powder, I then sprinkled with brilliant Burnt Copper.

On both sides of the title, the chipboard ginger's poppies embossed with Pink Dust embossing powder. 

Which I cut in two and placed on two different layers under the photo

Under the top of the picture, we find part of the chipboard Holiday Deer 

( No one said that deer live only in winter ... ;) But I removed the snowflakes from the chipboard.

I cut the chipboard so as to keep that central part for the top of my photo 

the other two pieces of the chipboard are layered under the flowers on the right side of the photo.

I embossed them with Oatmeal embossing powder and distressed with light brown ink pad.

If we look again on the left side of the picture we find one of the kit chipboards Petite Boutique Frames.

I embossed it with the powder "Snow" then I made a crackle treatment and then I added pink ink to bring out the cracks. 

Then I glued a piece of lace to the back.

I also used two deer from the kit "winter deer" I also embossed them with Oatmeal embossing powder and distresser with light brown ink pad.

I used small pink flowers from Courtship Roses kit.

My two others layouts featuring Garden Life paper

Capture life's moments

For the first of two, I used Felicity paper.

This background is a little more sophisticated than the first.

 I started by creating my texture then I played with ink and stamps.

 I really like the attached letter writing of "Serendipity Medley"stamp.

 I used it with a black ink to create contrast.

Then with the chipboard "Shabby Brick Bits" I added a little more texture to my background. 

I embossed it with "Snow" and applied a thin layer of blue opalescent paint.

To embellish my photo, I always opt for layers of paper, thus creating depth to my creation.

Between the different layers I added here, my flowers. 

The daisy comes from the kit "Attic Charms Daisy" the roses come from the kit "Garden Blooms"

If you look on either side of my photo, I used a peony from the kit "Chesterville Blooms" that I cut in half.

As journaling for my layout I used few printed chipboards from Garden life 

and "inspiration" come from Happy Accident printed chipboard.

Have you seen the new Rose Leaves chipboards? I love them! Here I painted them in green.

In the lower right corner of my page, there is a flower, normally white from Heartland Blossoms kit ... 

A happy accident made him fall into my ink ... and became like that ... I find her pretty!

I kept the best for the end ... my butterflies! (Royal Monarchs)

First of all, I put white gesso, after I used two different inks, one green and one gold.

 Then I made some white splash with gesso.

With a piece of lace that I inked with the same ink as my background, 

I stuck to the back of my butterflies. I really like the result!

So, you know everythings ...

Blossom Story

For this layout I've not did mixed media background. 

I just played with the paper ... I cut it,  torn it, and distressed it.

I started with the paper "Flower Bed" which I drew the flowers with black pencil. 

Each of the flowers one after the other ... I spent the day ...

I've used almost all the paper in entire.

Each of the cut parts placed on different layers under my photo.

My title "story" is embossed in white and then half of the top is embossed in purple. 

I used Snow and Lavender Eggs embossing powder.

Butterflies are stamped on a paper of "Spring Parade / May Vignettes"

 I used "Bourbon Street" and "Spring Accents" stamps

The "Looped Frames" and "Quatrefoil Panel" chipboards are simply embossed in white with Snow  embossed powder.

The small piece from Quatrefoil Panel is embossed with Baby Pink embossing powder.

I also added chipboard Leafed Bough that I cut into several pieces. I painted this one in green.

I used several yellow flowers of the kit "Garden Blooms" but I removed the central 

part of the flowers to keep only the petal of the bottom.

See my close ups for all details.

March projects by Wendy Scholten

Hello everyone,

Today is my turn on the Blue Fern Studios Blog with my march projects.

I made 3 layouts, one with the chesterville collection and two with the new Spring Parade collection.

So let's start with the one from the Chesterville Collection called:

"Adorable"

I just love this picture of our little girl, she was only 10 months here.

I made this layout with the Whitford papers, i used the backside for my background and a piece from the front of the paper to place behind my photo.

 Don't you just love those papers, you can use them for every subject.

I embossed the chipboard pieces Textured Wildflowers, Memory Frames, one of the bohemian flowers and the word Adorable with the: iris, vintage gold and sand&sea embossing powders.

 To give the background a bit more texture i used the Essential Textures Stamp, that's all it really needed.

 I also used a lot of the gorgeous flowers : Heartland Blossoms, Courtship roses and the Dark Tropic Lilies

 I used a few things from my own stash: baubles, lace, berries, small beads in different colors and just a little bit of paint.

Now for the Second one, this features the gorgeous new Spring Parade collection.

This is such a beautiful, bright paper collection that  really feels like spring, although you can use it for anything!

This one i called:

"Dazzling"

For this one i used the June paper as my background, and a stencil with some moddeling paste and oil pastels to color the background. Behind my photo i used a piece of the Susie's garden paper, i also fussy cutted a lot of flowers from that paper.

 First i embossed the Janie's Fram Chipboard piece with the Lilac and the new Lavender Egg's embossing powders,

 I placed the frame and the fussy cut flowers behind my photo frame and decided i wanted to turn the picture a bit to the side to give it a different effect.

 i placed some rhinestones in and around my frame to give it a bit of sparkle.

  The title Dazzling i embossed with the lavender Egg's and Fern Embossing powders to let it stand out a bit more.

 i used a few little flowers, lace, a sticker and rhinestones from my own stash tot complete this layout.

 For the background i used a stencil with some moddeling paste as well as oil pastels for some color. I also used the tattered newsprint stamp with snow embossing powder to give my background some texture.
