Wanderlust Inspiration by Kris Berc

Hi, Blue Fern Studios fans! It's Kris here to share my August projects with you.  I have three layouts using the new Wanderlust collection to show you today...oh how I adore the colors and patterns in this collection!

I Think You're Wonderful

I started with the gorgeous Wanderlust Ocean Voyage paper and prepped it with clear gesso.  I couldn't resist coloring the paper with yellow spray inks to match those beautiful, vibrant yellow flowers in the Wanderlust Vine! I then applied modeling paste through a stencil and some black stamping here and there with the new Travel Time stamp.

I treated the title chipboard piece with two embossing powders: Summer Breeze and Starry Night.

I used the same treatment on the Garden Lattice Bits chipboard.

I tucked a Wanderlust printed chipboard piece in at the bottom right of the photo, then layered on a Wanderlust Vine, a Wanderlust Lily, and a white rose from the Happy Roses set.

For my second layout, I started with the gorgeous Wanderlust Mountain View paper. This time I was inspired by the blue pool water in my photo to add various colors of blue spray ink.  I then applied modeling paste through a stencil and some random stamping in black with the new Departure stamp.

I embossed the Happiness chipboard piece with Ebony embossing powder.  I embossed the sides of the Natural Frame chipboard piece with Hot Cocoa embossing powder, and then embossed the foliage areas of it with Avocado embossing powder.

My flower clusters include yellow and blue Wanderlust Lilies, a blue lily from the Dark Tropic Lilies set, and yellow blooms from the Spring Florals set.

Below is a closer look at the Avocado embossing powder...isn't it lovely?!

This Moment

I changed things up a bit for my third layout and focused more on the Wanderlust collection's neutral tones.  I started with the B-side of a piece Wanderlust Calling Cards paper and then layered strips of Wanderlust Pacific Coast paper (both sides) horizontally.  After a treatment of clear gesso, I painted the paper a bit with tan and brown spray inks, followed by stamping here and there in black with the new Dispatch stamp.

I embossed the "this Moment" chipboard piece with Mushroom embossing powder and then grunged it up a bit.  Above the chipboard piece, you can see some of the new Ivory Braided Trim.

The Swallow Border chipboard piece is another new item!  I treated it with Mushroom embossing powder and then added some Speckled Mint embossing powder in random areas.  It's layered on top of some of the new Ivory Venise Lace and topped with a Wanderlust Lily.

The Fern Leaves chipboard pieces are new, too! I treated two of them with the new Avocado embossing powder and tucked them into my embellishment clusters.

April Projects by Galina Sazonova.

Hello friends!)

I really love to use black color in my works. And today I want to show you two projects on the basis of paper from the collection of Sanctuary and of black color.)

1. "This Moment".

My first project about of  wonderful moments in Tuscany.)

I used background chipboard "Shabby Brick Panel" and stamps to accentuate the texture and color of of old walls ....

Chipboard was painted with red spray and covered by glossy accent ....

 ....This created the volume effect. 

And a little more details) .....

 2. Card-motivator "Love".

My second project is about waiting of the summer ....

Despite the fact that there are many black, but the card, seems to me, looks very optimistic.)

  Smell the flowers, the birds singing, greens around, coolness of water ..... what could be better?))

 I used my favorite miniature  chipboard "Checker Bits"....

 .... and  paper from the collection Sanctuary. Chipboard was painting with spray of several shades.

Here such dreams of summer) ....

Love Story Layouts

Hey crafty friends! I'm so excited to share with you the layouts I created with the Love Story collection. For my first layout I decided to use the Marrakesh panel chipboard and create a collage of photos.

It is so striking the page hardly needs anymore embellishments. But I couldn't help myself and just had to ass a few more pieces cut from another beautiful Love Story paper.

Check out the step by step video tutorial to see the entire process and create it for your own photos!

BFS supplies used:

Papers: Love Story collection: Twenty One, True harmony
Chipboard: Marrakesh Panel, This Moment title

My second layout has a story behind it. at first glance it's a beautiful scene with flowers in a garden and a teenager boy sits among them. however when you look closely you see he's kind of mad and the title explains why...

I colored all the chipboard flowers with aquarelle pencils and a water brush. Then I sprayed a cheese cloth and used it to create the grass. I added all the flowers and the photo of my son. The title was sprayed with the sprays inks as well.

BFS supplies used:
Papers: Love Story collection: The Grand Ball
Chipboard: Garden Daisies, Pretty Weeds, Layering Stems

Have fun creating!
