Three layouts with the Serendipity and Courtship Lane collections by Marie-Josee

Hello, Blue Fern Studios fans!

Today, I will show you three layouts I created with the latest Blue Fern Studios collections, Courtship Lane and Serendipty. Here they are.

"Memory of Yesterday" layout

For this layout featuring my grandmother in 1936, I used various papers of the Courtship Lane collection.

I used the Brocade Texture stamp and Blue Fern Studios embossing powders (Lilac and Iris) to add texture and details to my background.

I also used the Arcadia Textures stamp with brown ink in the top right corner and the bottom left corner.

For my title, I used the word "Yesterday" from the Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday chipboard set. I also used pieces of the Garden Lattice Bits set.

 

"I Think You're Wonderful" layout

For this layout, I used the Serendipity collection.

I embossed all the chipboards I used (I Think You're Wonderful and Whimsy Flourishes) with Blue Fern Studios embossing powders. I started with the lightest color, Sea Mist. Then I added more embossing ink and sprinkled a bit of Blue Sky embossing powder and heated it.

I also used the Brocade stamp with the Sea Mist embossing powder on my background.

 

 

"Become your best you" layout

For this layout, I used the Courtship Lane collection and the brand new Blue Fern Studios flowers, which match the Courship Lane collection.

The chipboards I used are the Circle Flourish - Small and the Gatsby Collage. I cut the Gatsby collage in two pieces and put each one under the Circle Flourish.

I also used a stamp from the Shabby Edges stamp set.

 

Autumn Anthology With Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie back again, to share two layouts I created 

with the Autumn Anthology Collection.

Lots of paper layering and  fussy cutting on this layout, showcasing a picture of my children from years ago.  I used several papers from the Autumn Anthology collection:  Gazebo, Newsworthy, LeBallon, Cottage and Calling Cards.

Here are a few closeup of the chipboard I used:

Ironwork Edges sprayed with Imagine Ink Mist Sky and dabbed with some dark blue ink.

Willow Wild Flower sprayed with Imagine Ink Mist Persimmon and dabbed with some dark brown ink.

Layering Stems sprayed with Imagine Ink Mist Persimmon.

And for my title Yesterday from Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday sprayed with Imagine Ink Mist Sky and dabbed with some dark blue ink.

My next layout was created using the October sketch using papers from the Autumn Anthology Collection.

I used Calling Cards, Gazebo and LeBallon papers on my layout. 

Lots of layering under my photo along with a Double Swirl Small chipboard piece which I sprayed with Imagine Ink Mist Sky.  I also used the Floral Lattice Bits chipboard which I painted apricot.

The Always and Forever chipboard was sprayed with the Imagine Ink Mist in Sky.

A lovely cluster of flowers and another view of the Floral Lattice Bits Chipboard.

I hope I have inspired you with my layouts!  Autumn Anthology is a beautiful collection of papers.

Thanks for stopping by!

I love the design of the Double Swirl-large  chipboard and I used  like a stencil too, you will see the process in the video tutorial.  I chose the Newsworthy paper from the new Autumn Anthology collection.

I paint my title "Today, Tomorrow, Yesterday" chipboard with the new mist- Persimmon color.

I added textures to the chippies with mediums and micro beads.

I cut out some butterflies from the Frolic collection.

I stamped with the "Textures circles" and the "Essential Textures" stamps.


Here's the video...I hope it inspires you!!!

"Love My Work"-
 I made my second project with the September sketch challenge,

Le Ballon from the Autumn Anthology is this beautiful paper that I selected to make my page.  I also worked with the new mist- the sky color.

I cut out some butterflies and gave textures with glass beads.

My title is from the "Happy, Heart, Love" chipboard.

 I used pieces of the Garden Lattice chipboard to surround my picture and stamped with the essential textures stamp.

Thanks for stopping by...Until next time!!! xx
