July projects by Karolina

Hi everyone! Karolina here with with a dose of inspiration for you! So sit down comfortable and let's start!

To my works I'm using photos of myself very rarely. I don't know why, I just prefere photos of my friends, family - people I love. So today it's a very unusual day! I would like to show you three different projects, two layout and one frame with me, myself & I ;)

In all projects I used a new beautiful collection Seaside Cottage. I wasn't surprised when I saw this collection for the very first time and I completely fell in love with it. Blue and turquoise are my favourite colors and I love everything in marine style. 

Beach Babe

Ok, so first I would like to show you a round frame. As you can see, I've cut out the outline of me from the picture and tried to create a beach around me. I have used two stripes of papers, some seashells, flowers and a texture sand paste. I also added some glitter in blue shades and I've prepared some glitter caboshons. It's very easy, you need just put some glue to the bottom of the caboshon and then sprinkle a glitter on it. When it will be dry you can stick it on your projects wherever you want.

Finally I added a title - this time it's a piece from the same collection. I have used outmeal embossing powder to cover it. The last step was to make a braid with a string and metal embellishments and put it around my frame.

Papers: Glory, Embark

Chipboard: Beach Babe

Embossing powder: Oatmeal

Glitter: Gulf Coast, Blue Ice, Pyrite, Burnt Cooper

Flowers: Seaside lilies

End of a perfect day

I'm pretty sure that this is the newest photo of me. My brother's fiancée took this picture of me in the last weekend, during a dinner. If I have to be honest, we were in the Warsaw and Warsaw is not a seaside city, but woodboards behind me looked very nice and it really was a perfect end of a perfect day ;)

 I built my composition using papers, flowers and a chipboard piece in the contrasty color. I have used a melon embossing powder.

Papers: Glory, Embark, Whitewash, Regalia

Chipboard: Perfect Day

Embossing powder: Melon, Honey

Flowers: Seaside lilies

Summer Vocation

The Seaside Cottage is a perfect collection not only for your marine projects,  but also for every holiday memories. In my last layout I used photos from Aventine Hill which I made few weeks ago when I was in Rome.

Papers: Embark, Whitewash, Regalia

Chipboard: Summer Vocation

Embossing powder: Ebony

Flowers: Seaside lilies

And that's all in this month! See you soon in August!

June Inspiration with Karolina

Hi Blue Fern Studio's fans! It's Karolina here. Today I would like to show you my June's projects I made using our latest collection Attic Charm.

Paris Paris

Let's start with my first layout with beautiful view of the Paris and Eiffel tower. 

I started my work on the choice of photo and paper... It's always a most difficult step of the work ;) 

When I was planning my composition I realized I would like to add something interesting accent on my background. So I took another paper I tore it to the stripe. Then I put everything together and I knew it was a very good idea. I added some chipboard pieces, some flowers and medias and that' all! I really like this page, hope you too :)

I covered all  chipboards (except a frame) with using metallic paint in a copper color. A frame I covered with using a turquoise chalk ink.

Papers: Calling Cards, Curio, Generation, Sachet, Haberdashery, Spring Posy

Chipboard: Film Strips, Memory frames, Petite Boutique Frames
Stamps: Forever, 

Capture the moment

My second layout is definitely in a marine style. The idea for this work was born a year ago, but I was waiting for a good opportunity ;) First I used a clear gesso on my based paper, then I took unprimed canvas and cut out the sail. I built my whole composition on the top of the sail and I added some marine embellishments like a chain, steering wheels, a net. Finally I added a title using beautiful chipboard - "Capture the Moment". I covered a chipboards with using "seven seas" embossing powder. So everything is matching perfectly ;)

Papers: Curio, Generation, Sachet, Haberdashery, Spring Posy

Chipboard: Capture Words

Embossing powder: Seven Seas

Glitter: Caribbean, Gulf Coast

Stamps: Forever, Halftone,

Wedding cards

Attic Charm collection is very soft and romantic so it will be perfect for all you shabby projects. I prapered two very delicate cards for a wedding to show you how beautiful these papers are. I hope I succeeded.

Papers: Curio, Sachet, Mercantile, Calling Cards, Haberdashery, Spring Posy
