September inspiration by Annie Samson

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans,

I am verry happy to share 3 layouts with you today  !

One with Happy Accident collection and two others with Amber and Apricot collection.

Born to be wild!

For my first layout, I have used the Quirk paper and Blessing pieces of paper 

of the Happy Accident collecction.

I added some green ink on my back ground.

Than I added texture with the Forever stamp set.

I have used Stormy sky embossing powder on my Turkish Bites chipboard and Avocado embossing powder on my Abstracted chipboard.

My title ''Born to be wild!'' has been altered with Breeze embossing powder. I really like to use different colors of embossing powder on the same layout !

To embellish my layout, I choose some beautifuls Blue Fern Studio flowers.

Sunshine

 This one features the Serendipity collection, i loved the background, it didn't need anything more than a stencil with some moddeling paste and a small piece of burlap behind my photo.

For the title i used Sunshine from the Optimist Word Set

 On the Whimsey Flourish and the Sunshine title i used Snow embossing powder and on the Floral Lattice Bits i used Sand & Sea embossing powder to let it stand out more on the lace i used.

 For my flowers i used the white Heartland Blossoms, the small blue chesterville Blooms and i cut a few leaves of the Spring peony

 I used a few small flowers from my own stash, a few baubles, see through glass beads and a button with some string around it.
