March projects for Lydia Guijt!

Hello Blue Fern Studios friends!

Lydia Guijt here again with some new creations for March.

My first layout will be accompanied with a tutorial. You'll find that below.

For my second feature I've made something completely different. I hope you'll like it.

Memories

The new Spring Parade Collection has a beautiful color combination. For this layout I chose the Susie's Garden sheet.

For my background I started off using the Tattered Harlequin stamp for embossing and the Tattered News Print stamp for inking. After this I used a stencil and paste. After the background work is done I prepared the chipboard pieces.

Crossing the Lines with Speckled Mint and some Peacock Feathers. Wild Field Stem with Lavender Eggs on the flower part and Verdant with some sprinkling of Antique Gold. The same process for the Leafy Twigs. The title Memories - Chunky Words Halftone was done in Pink Dust. Once that was all done it was time to assemble the layout. I used the new Spring Peonies and Late Winter Lilies in my flower cluster. To finish off the page I added some further touches.

Below you'll find the video with the whole process of making this layout.

Enjoy!

Follow your Heart

For my second project I wanted to do something different.

Our Blue Fern Studios Chipboard is so nice and sturdy, it's perfect to use for Mixed Media projects.

I got a double sided canvas and tore out the center to open it up. I used pastes and stencils to created textures on the outside and center part. Once it was all dry I started with the Shabby Bits Bricks Chipboard pieces as the bast to build the center part on.

Using other materials like cardboard and metal embellishments stacking and tucking in and under to create interest and textures. On one of the top layers a couple of Leafy Page Accents. Around the edges I used the Note book Edges and having the Layering Stems fall over the edges.

With all the items in place and stuck down it was time to paint everything with black gesso. Once that was all dry it's time paint on all the the accents. The Follow your Heart title was first embossed and further highlighted with some acrylics and pastes.

Spring Greetings

For the last project this month I decided to make a set of cards using the new Spring Parade collection.

I started of with cutting different sizes of paper and played around with them creating a layered look. Once it was right I started filling it in with some doilies and some lace. For the Easter card I used one of the Easter Egg Ornaments and embossed it with Lavender Egg. Giving it some extra glitter with Peacock Feathers. The Spring card has a Spring Trinkets chipboard piece and is treated the same way.

To finish off the cards I used Later Winter Lilies and Soft Blossoms and some other decorations. The final touches were some mist splatters and we're all done with our card set.

Seaside Cottage and Tranquility inspiration layouts by Wilma

Two for the boys.

Our August challenge is a nice one.

And a easy one.

Just use one of three collection.

Seaside Cottage, tranquility or Attic Charm.

My plan was to add three layouts , one for each of these colections.

But because beautiful Switzerland is overcrowded with tourist this saison....

I just coudnt get time enough to do anything creative.

So there was no time for the Attic Charm inspiration layout.

But when you look at the blog,

there has been lots of inspiration already with the Attic Charm collection

For my first layout I used the beautiful Seaside Cottage collection.

Perfect papers to scrap your beach pictures.

For a beachy and masculine feeling I used textured modeling paste,

in my background and on my chipboard.

First I colored the title with distress ink.

Than I added the texture paste with a pallette knife.

The seaside Flourish chipboard piece was first stippled with the paste.

Than I added different colors of embossing powder in the still wet paste.

I heated up just a few parts of the powder.

After it dryed here and there a little raw paste to give that beach feeling.

*******

My second layout has more of a tender feeling.

I wanted a soft natural look.

In the background stamping with a blue color ink that matched perfect with the blue from the paper.

Softened up with white ink.

I love the Wild Field chipboard and I think it matched perfect with the stamped background.

I left it natural and just brushed on a little white ink to set some highlights.

The chipboard is totally flat on the paper, but because of the highlights it becomes depth.

The roses were left in their natural color, just got some white ink here and there.

To keep the page in that soft natural color I left the title just plain .

I hope you will find time to play along with our challenge, there are two more weeks left to join in.

The challenge post

Thank you for visiting the blog.

I hope you liked my post.

A layout, a mini album and a tag trio...

Welcome back to another beautiful day at Blue Fern Studios. Today I will share with you a layout, a mini and a trio of tags.
For all 3 projects, I used Blue Fern Studios Ombre Dreams paper. I did some masking with molding paste and some inking on the background of my layout.

To color the Wild Field Stem, once again, I heat embossed it using a few different colors from Lindys Stamp Gang. I heat embossed it twice to get 2 different colors on the flower part and let some of it bleed into the stem.

For the Majestic Frame, I heat embossed it and added a couple of jewels, then just kissed the edges with some soft charcoal ink.

For the cover of the mini, I used a couple of the Berry Stems and the Memories frame from the Memory Frame Set.

I painted the frame and the Berry Stems with white gesso, then heat embossed it using Lindys Stamp Gang embossing powder.

The Circle Motif was heat embossed straight onto raw chipboard. I gave it double coat for texture.

For the tags, I used the Framed Trinkets set which contains all 3 pieces. I used cut out pieces from the Bits Of Honey set.

I coated the chipboard with white gesso and heat embossed them with Lindy's embossing powder.

Once the tags were complete, I gave them an overall spray with Lindys Starburst spray for extra color and shimmer.

I hope you enjoyed my latest creations. Until next time, grab some BFS chipboard. There are new designs being added to the collection all of the time. Enjoy...

Lisa
