May Inspirations by Jennifer Jacques

Hi all Blue Fern Studios fans!

It's Jennifer here, with my 3 layouts as May inpsirations!

First of all, I'll start the month with a layout with "Happy Accident".

I choose to work with "Lucky" paper as my background.

I added a bit of texture paste through a stencil and displayed my picture on a die cut doilie.  You can see in the clustering below that I also tucked in two pieces of Checker bits chipboard that I have embossed with the Honey embossing powder.

My chipboard title is from the Remnants collection and here, this is the Sunlight Rose embossing powder that I've chose to embossed with.  You'll see underneath the Fern Leaves embossed with Green Ivory embossing powder.  Did you see the beautiful lilies from the Wanderlust Lilies set? They really are my favorite Blue Fern flowers. On the next corner, the white flower is from Homespun blossoms set :)

Below, I've made some ornements out of velum paper with the Texture circles stamp and Ivory embossing powder.  I've put together one clustering on each side of my focal point with 

Apricot blooms and some stuff from my own stash.

So, here is the list of the products I've used on that layout

Second layout with In the moods collection.

This time, this is B-side of "Dreamy" paper that is my background.  Clear gesso, some sprays as watercolor effect and texture paste through a stencil again.  You can see below that I've displayed my picture on a piece of Mémoire "post cards" paper.

On the left of my picture, there is some chipboards.  The Flutter page dangles is embossed with Stormy skies, a beautiful blue-grey color.  Really love that metallic effect.  Right on the background, a Petite boutique Frame which is colored with some wax.

Here. my title is a piece from  Remnants collection chipboard that I've cut to use only the word "You".  I've tried very hard to show you the beautiful color of Vintage Jade glitter but I've failed.  It's magnificent, believe me! 💙💚  Again, some beautiful lilies from Wanderlust set.

Here, a Christmas blooms, with a pearl in her center.

Some sequins, flair and love quotes from my stash.  

Finally, to add some texture, some Silver seedlings  in different spots and some stamping with Tattered Newsprint stamp and permanent ink.

Again, here is the list of the products I've used on that layout

 Papers: Collection In the mood and Mémoire

-Dreamy (b-side)

-Post cards

Chipboards

-Petite Boutique Frame

**********************

Finally, my last layout with In the mood again.

A soft layout, with "Amused" paper as the background.  No mixed media here.

The tag on the left was cut out of "Blissful" b-side paper.    My title, from the French words set is embossed with the delicate and sooooooo gorgeous  Pixie Dust embossing powder.  My set up is displayed on a big piece of a chipboard panel (which is no longer available, sorry!) that I've simply paint in black for a dramatic effect.

On the right, chipboard flower was simply stained in black and colored with wax.

Finally, to ornate the lower corner of my picture, Blue Fern Studios flowers :)

The white one is from Christmas blooms (but I've replaced the center to match my layout), the pink one is from Garden Blooms (here, I've put a pearl in the middle) and, the black one, a beautiful Dark Tropic lilies... A piece of "Pensive" paper in the upper right corner :)

It's a minimalist layout so I finished with some flairs and love quotes and that was it!

 Here is the products I've used on that layout this time

March inspirations by Jennifer Jacques

Hello Blue Fern Fans!!!

It's my turn today on the Blue Fern Studios blog and 

I'm glad to show you my three layouts for March.

 

For the first one, I've chosen to go with the latest collection, the lovely In the mood.  

"Attracted" was the paper I've chosen as my background.  I applied clear gesso, then permanent ink through a stencil and, finally, some stamping here and there.  

There is also a piece of "Blissful" paper (b-side) under my picture.

Above, you can see that I've placed my picture on a piece of chipboard, that I've had embossed with Oatmeal embossing powder.  Higher, you can also see the stamping with Grungy grid Stamp, one of my favorite.  Lace #4 is used in little parts, here and there, as an ornement by itself.

Did you know that pink is my favorite color?  I was so happy when I saw the collection, and look at this beautiful paper flower...  Pale pink, just like I adoooooore!!!  Came from Moody florals set.  Pieces of Lace #4 again, and Forest embossing powder on my chipboard leaves.  

Next, a complete picture of what I've done to my title.

I applied some heat and stick powder, than my Mocha glitters.  I fell in love.  Isn't it beautiful???

Again, you can partly see under my title the Grungy grid stamping but also some with a 

Texture circles ( I've chosed the script lettering one).

Some white gesso splattering, a little bit of sequins and that was it!

Next, my favorite one!

Wanderlust collection this time.  Can't believe it was my first time with that beautiful collection.

Two papers were used as the background.  The upper part is Memento (b-side) and Ocean Voyage as the lower one.  The green part in the middle is Ocean voyage b-side.  Clear gesso and some sprays as watercoloring in some places to add some colors under my focal point.

Then, I've added some stamping with three differents stamps: Crackle textures (black ink), Swiss dots (light brown ink) and Tattered  newsprint (pale navy blue one).

Did you notice the lace under my picture?  It's the lovely Lace #12.  I  loved that one sooooo much that I've had almost finish what I have on hand loll.

I've cutted my title and then embossed it with the Taupe embossing powder.  Really love that color.  Like a browny-gold shimmery color... It's beautiful, really!

Above, between the layers of papers, I stuck some flowers that I've folded to make them more dimensional.  The white one in the left corner is from Christmas blooms set and the kaki-green one beside, is a yellow flower that I've misted to match the color of my layout and came from Fresh Florals.

Finally, some personnal touches like white gesso splatters, some flairs and some butterflies.

Finally, the third one with Heartland collection!

Perfectly matches my picture, no???

 My background is the "Love blooms" paper (B-side) and I've placed some pieces of "Love notes" under the pictures.  It is all on a big piece of chipboard panel that I've embossed with the Snow embossing powder, then add some metallic blue paint that I've sanded after it was dry.  After that, I've done some stamping with the Grungy grid stamp and a black permanent ink.

I've stamped the weathered doilie twice on my background.  Just a black permanent ink.  

Love the distress look of that stamp.

As ornements, I've added many flowers on that layout.  The bold blue ones, and the whites with the pearls are from Heartland blooms.  Others are from my personal stash.

My title is also embossed but with the Ebony embossing powder.

Finally, I've added some die-cut leaves that I've made with the "Sweet on you" paper with my flowers clustering, some flairs and 

some white gesso splatters as usual.

Happy Accident - Free - By Lydia Guijt

Hello Paper and Blue Fern Studios friends. 

We're so happy with the new Happy Accident Collection and brand new introduction of the  Happy Accident Printed Chipboard Pieces that I'm sharing an extra post with you this month.

For this layout I'm using a photo of my niece's little boy visiting a WWII memorial with his Granddad, which is very fitting for this time of the year when many countries have their own remembrance days. It's so important to teach our children their history. 

- Free -

I'm using the Happy Accident - Incident sheet as the base. For my background I chose the Texture Circles Stamp and embossed some of the prints with Snow Embossing powder and others I did in black ink. Some extra stamping with the  London Chronicle Stamp. After that I got out a stencil and created some texture over the page with some paste.

The Abstract Wire Frame got embossed with Stormy Skies. A beautiful new metallic blue color embossing powder. The Rose Wreath chipboard  was cut in a couple of pieces and embossed with Rusty Rose. I sprinkled some of the Pea Soup Glitter over the leafy parts of the Rose Wreath and heat set it.

Having done all the preparation work I was now ready to start putting my layout together. All these chipboard pieces make for some wonderful layers.

Adding Chesterville Blooms and other flowers to decorate. Some final ink splatters and we're all done. I hope you will have fun with this collection!
