Design Team projects Wendy Scholten June

Hi everyone,

It's my turn today to show you my design team work for the month June.

I have a canvas and 2 layouts to share with you.

So let's start with the canvas:

'Heaven Sent'

I only used a small piece of paper on this canvas behind my photo, it's from the new Garden Life collection.

 I used a stencil, some modeling paste, 4 colors paint spraynand the Blue Fern Studios Forever Stamp for my background.

 I used a piece of the Quatrefoil panel, the Circle Flourish frame and the Word Heaven Sent from the Spiritually Speaking Word Set as my title.

I thougt the title matched the photo very well, she's my little angel sent from Heaven and now we're waiting for our second little angel to say hello! We are so blessed!

 I used the Stormy Skies embossing powder on all the chipboard pieces to let them stand out more.

For the flower clusters i used the  Attic Charm Daisies, Dark Tropic Lilies, a flower from an older collection and a few small ones from my own stash.

Bente's December farewell

Hi there friends.

Today is my last post here on the Blue Fern Studios blog, but it's definitely not the last 

time you'll see me creating with these gorgeous products. 

So we won't say Goodbye but instead Au Revoir. :-)

Today I have a  couple of pages and some cards to share .

For my first page I picked one of the pretty new papers from the  Vintage Christmas collection.

I also have some close ups of the details:

I used the Petal embossing enamel to treat my chipboards. That gorgeous round piece is called Twilight Garden Frame. I gave the Shabby snowflake (part of a set) the same treatment. 

I love the look of those tiny half pearls that I added to it!

On my background I used the Winter Mint and Cotton Candy Imagine Ink mists. I also used gesso and microbeads as well as a few paints.

For a title I used one of the designs on the Christmas cards sheet together with the word Christmas from one of the bottom strips.

I love the look of the strict stripes with the soft colourful blooms.

On my next page you'll see a familiar face :-)  

(Yup that's me  in one of the rare photos of me that I like. :-D, I know I've scrapped it a couple
 of times already LOL)

I used the Juliannas Dream paper from the magical Ombre Dreams collection. 

Such a beautiful and feminine collection, and so versatile too! I always love the combination of yellow with purple. I can't say why I love it so, except I find it sooo,sooo pretty!

And even here I have close ups to share:

I painted most of my chipboard pieces purple and gave them a lick of gesso on top to make them a bit more shabby.The Chained Bits look great here down the side of my photo. They are a good background for layering any kind of embellishment.

The Timeless Floral corner adds so much to a page. It's so great because you can turn it
any way you want so it will work in any corner 

I wanted a title thet was not too overpowering so I went with a single chipboard word that I painted and clear embossed. 

I added a some punched and die cut greenery as well.

And to round things off I have a couple of simple Christmas cards that I'd like to share with you.

The first one I made with one of the cards from the Christmas card sheet and added the bottom strip from a sheet down the sides. I used the Petal embossingpowder again.
The Framed Winter words are perfect for a card front.

On my second card you can see that even other non-christmassy collections can be used for seasonal cards. My background here is from the Montage collection, but the top sentiment is from the
Vintage Christmas collection of course. I added some bits from the Chain link 
chipboard panel that I painted a dark red. I used a little of the Cotton Candy Imagine Ink
on the background and  a stencil on top.

That was all from me! I want to a big THANK YOU to Leslie and Valerie for having me.
It's been a pleasure!!

I hope you all have a wonderful peaceful Christmas time wether you celebrate or not.
Merry Christmas and Peace on Earth!

Projects with Angelica

Hello everyone! I'm sharing today my final projects as a BFS design team member. It's been an amazing and fun year!  I'm so honored to have had the opportunity to design for such a wonderful company!

I made this layout using the Autumn Anthology collection.  I started with the Newsworthy paper as my background and layered then Penmanship on top.  I painted the Large Roman Clock, Damask Panel and Spring branch chipboard pieces with gesso. Then lightly misted with the Leaf mist.

For this layout I used the Frolic collection. Such pretty soft colors!  I did some layering with the Secretary paper. Then used some pieces of the Calling Cards and Dans de Jardin. Again, I painted the Floral Lattice Bits, Timeless Floral Corner, and Petite Windows with gesso. They sprayed using the leaf and Cotton Candy Mist.

So, I've used up all of the Vintage Christmas Papers that were sent to me! I decided to make a quick card using a scrap piece of the Wonderland paper.  This is my take on the sketch using the Gingerbread House Chipboard. I used a thick uneven coat of Heavy Gesso and sprinkled colored glitter glass while still wet.

 Thanks for stopping by during this busy holiday season!

Blues & Greens with Frolic Collection- By Keren Tamir

Hi Everyone!

Its Keren here on the Blue Fern Studios blog with a couple of layouts using the Frolic Collection.

One of my favourite colours to use on my layouts are blues and greens. These include teal, turquoise, emerald or olive. Well basically all shades of blue and green.

"Perfect Day"

Here is my first layout using the Frolic- Veranda paper for the background.

I used this blueish green paper because I wanted to create a beach themed layout.

I used the Birds on a wire chipboard and joined it with a set of fussy cut birds from the Frolic Calling cards paper.

Finally I used some anchors and chains from the Anchors Away  chipboard set.

<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

"You are my Fairytale"

My second layout uses the Frolic- Dans le Jardin paper for the background.

I cut the paper in half and joined it again with the imagery in the middle so when I added my embellishments and photo, they were part of the design.

I used the Timeless floral corner to frame around my photo and then I embellished with two La Plume feather chipboard pieces which I cut in half.

Finally I used the "Fairytale" chipboard title.

Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog

have a wonderful day!!

Frolic and More with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, everyone! 

Sandi here with you today sharing my August projects!

"Capture the Moment"

The B side of the Frolic Friendship paper is so gorgeous and I thought it would make a lovely background for this photo of my brother and youngest niece. I wanted to go with a bit of a monochromatic feel, so my chipboard was altered to blend in with the paper colors. 

The Jeweled Frame was so perfect for my photo because 1.) it is elegant and 2.) our family name is "Key." I kept my alterations pretty simple with mists and inks but did add some microbeads here and there throughout the entire page. You can also see the use of the Halftone stamp. 

This is a close-up of the Memories Captured title piece which is a nice 2 piece set.

"Smile"

I tried to go Clean and Simple on this layout. This beautiful damask paper from the Frolic collection, Petits Moments, is just divine and can stand on its own. Also, I wanted simple backdrop for the Timeless Floral Corner chipboard. I added a little bit of mixed media and did some stamping with the "Forever" stamp to add dimension. The Geometric Bits were misted and used as layers. 

Isn't that Corner piece awesome? So much beautiful detail! There are so many ways to alter this one but  I used mists, dimensional beads and some old nearly dried up glitter paint.  Loving this fun photo of two of the grandkids! 

Microbeads are a fun way to add a little umph to your chipboard without really doing too much .. just gel and beads and you're done!

'Everyday Moments"

My next project was done with the Paisley and Vine collection. It was "in progress" when my Frolic collection arrived and I set it aside to work on a Frolic project for you. So, I decided to go back and finish this one up! 

I actually embossed the Frolic Bird Ornament this time! But the Treasured Floral Frame is fairly plain. Just gessoed and then some color added to the floral part with water colors. And also a dab of embossing on the ends. 

My Sweet Arrow Word was colored with water colors.  I also took this opportunity to use up some older flowers that were in my stash. Yay for that!
