June inspiration by Elena Volchkova

Hi everyone! Today, I have prepared three layouts using Attic Charm Collection. And I'm happy to show it to you. They are very romantic. Because this collection is very romantic and tender. But you are now convinced.

"Little princess roses" layout

This layout about one pretty girl. This layout for the little princess, who loves flowers. I used the Attire paper from the Attic Charm Collection as my background paper. Very gentle scrap paper!

This large butterfly from "Tattered Butterflies" set flew to greet our princess.

"Great Outdoors" from All Natural Set I covered with Imagine Ink Fuchsia embossing powder. And the green leaves covered with Imagine Ink Lime embossing powder and watercolor paints.

Two butterflies - large butterfly from "Tattered Butterflies" set was covered with mixture of Imagine Ink embossing powders in Mystic Plum and Fuchsia, which give the the perfect combination! A little butterfly - it from vellum on which you can see Serendipity Medley Stamp with Imagine Ink Fuchsia embossing powder.

May inspiration by Bec

Hi there, today I have my May projects for you.

Beach Wedding Canvas

First up I have a canvas I made as a belated wedding gift for a friend

I began by covering the canvas with the new Tranquillity Collection papers: Serenity and Jubilation. I then used what was left over from these papers to make a photo mat.  

I distressed the edges of all the papers and I added modeling paste with a stencil to the background of the canvas.

I used the Persian Ornament Chipboard piece to go under the photo, I coloured this with the Mushroom Embossing Powder.

For the title Love Always I used two different embossing powders in Snow and Seven Seas.

To finish off I embellished this canvas with some of the gorgeous new Blue Fern flowers. I used Courtship Blooms, Courtship Roses and Tranquil Roses and Lilies.

Papers: Tranquillity Collection -  Serenity and Jubilation

Mini Beach Shadow Box

My next Project is a mini shadow box made with the Tranquillity Collection

I used the Tranquillity paper Jubilation to line the squares inside the box as well as the outside edges and bottom of the box.

Then I used the Seven Seas Embossing powder to colour the top surfaces of the box.

I filled the mini bottles with the Gulf Coast and Blue Ice Glitters

I coated all the Seaside Seashells chipboard pieces with white sand texture paste, and when this was dry I rubbed a little distress ink over the surfaces.

I finished with off with a few real sea shells and Courtship Blooms, Courtship Roses and Tranquil Roses and Lilies.

The Future Belongs to Those who Believe on the Beauty of Their Dreams

And finally today I have a layout to share which I made with the Serendipity collection

I used the Serendipity Fascination paper as my background for this layout, I added some mists and texture pastes for colour and interest. Then I used the Serendipity papers Glee and Calling cards to make a photo mat.

I used the whole Natural Sprigs Set pack and covered all the pieces with white crackle paste. When the paste was dry I coloured them with a green mist and brown distress ink.

To colour the Folkart Frame I used Liquid Pearls in Bisque

For my title I cut one to the calling cards up and spread the words over my page

My layouts for May by Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

I'm here today to present you my 3 layout for May!  I had fun playing with the brand new Tranquility Collection.   I love it!  One of my Blue Fern Studios all time favorite!

Memories Captured:

On this layout, you can see my oldest daughter Delphine.  The picture was taken last year in Monaco.  We had the chance to spend two weak in southern France.  What a beautiful family vacation! The French Riviera is  simply stunning!

To create my layout, i use the Calm paper from the Tranquility  collection. I love the flowers on the side! I use two sheets of this paper: one for my base and the other to put under my picture.

On my background, I use three différents stamp set:  Wallflower, Serendipity medley and Garden Frolic.  To embellish my layout, i add some Blue Fern Studios flowers from the Tranquility collection and from the courtship lane collection. Just add some navy blue ones from my stash.

For the frames ( Ever after frame set) , I first emboss them with Imagine Ink In the navy embossing powder.   Then, I add a touch of the Imagine Ink  Seven seas embossing powder.  Finally, i reheat the powder and i sprinkle some Imagine Ink Nutmeg  embossing powder.

For my title (Captured words), i coat my chipboard with white heavy gesso.  Once the gesso dry, I apply the same watercolours that I use for my background.  Finally, I distress it with with heavy gesso.

I begging with the Hushes paper from the Tranquility collection.  On my bcacgroung, I stamped with the wallflowers stamp and emboss it with the Imagine Ink fuchsia embossing powder.  Then I use the Serendipity stamp and the Imagine ink tangerine embossing powder.

Underneath my picture, I use the Dangle border.  I prep it with gesso and use the same sprays ink that i use for my background. The title came from the Frech Adjective 2 set.  The font is just amazing!  Love this set.
