Seaside Cottage and Tranquility collections with video by Wilma Voermans

So happy to show you two layouts with the new Seaside Cottage collection.
It was a last minute, since I just got my papers in, but I managed .
Scrapbooking is a great hobby to  relax after busy days at work :) 

My first choice of the collection is this SUPER background paper.
It is the B-side from the Mermaid paper.
The Seaside collection has a lot of great background papers for more masculine pages.
And the boys have to be scrapped too .

I am not sure or I  did it ever before, 
but I found out that alcohol ink is perfect for coloring chipboard.
It dryes quick, covers in one time and gives a beautiful mat finish.
Besides that it soakes into the chipboard ,  so the sides are colored too.




In the background I used Gold embossing powder and two  colors alcohol ink.
If I may say so myself...LOVE IT 
Chipboard that I used:
Celebration heart
XOXO set
Ornate frame
Number Grid small
*******

The second layout I made is also from the Seaside Cottage collection.
Its called Gala.
And yes, also the B-side..
I just love that paper with the Italian map image and the beautiful old color rosa.
The ornate frame was first embossed with oatmeal.
After that I brushed it with distress ink which was the right color for me.
I gave it a quick spray with a sealer to make the ink stay.
In the background I used Ginger embossingpowder
*******




My last layout is made on a pattern paper from the Tranquility collection.
I can explain what I did, but it is much easyer to watch the video I made .
A start to finish process video.
I hope you find the time to watch it here:

Three Serendipity layouts with Karine

Hi there Blue Fern Studios fan,

Karine's here today to share with you three layouts I created with our amazing Serendipity collection. My first one is called Moment.


I used the Fascination paper as my background. My composition is entered around the Ornate Frame, which I embossed with brown embossing powder . While the powder was still hot, I sprinkled some glass glitter.


My title piece is part of the French Words set. I painted it with white gesso first, and added some mist after. To make it pop a little bit, I added a few touches of white gesso.


I used exactly the same products to alter my Floral Lattice Bits.


To add texture to my background, I used the Forever stamps set.

My second layout is called Reminisce. Here it is.


I used the Merriment paper as my background.


To mat my picture, I used some cards from the Calling Cards paper.


I used the Quatrefoil panel behind my picture. I simply covered it with white gesso.


In my embellishments cluster, I used the Leafy Page Accents. To alter the chipboards, I used the Imagine Ink Garnet Embossing Powder and while it was still hot, I sprinkled some Pearl Embossing Powder.


My title piece, the Serendipity Words 2, was treated with the same steps.


I also used the Essential Textures stamps to alter my background paper.

My last layout is called Everlasting Love.


I used the Inspiration paper.


I centered my composition around the Gazebo chipboard. I started out by painting it with white gesso. I covered everything with two mist colors to get the right shade of blue. I wanted more texture, so I used the Garden Frolic stamp set and ink to add more interest. Finally, I added some grained grit over the roof of the Gazebo.


My title piece, the Everlasting Love chipboard, was primed with white gesso and then, I painted half of it with some mist.

 
You can see in the pictures that I used the Garden Frolic stamps sets to alter my background as well. I just love the stamps from this set: they are so versatile: lattice pattern (black ink), handwritten script (blue ink), some flowers (black ink).



I hope you'll give the Serendipity collection a try! It is just gorgeous.

Have a great day.

Sanctuary Projects with Rae

Hello all. It's Rae, sharing my last projects for BFS! It's been an exciting year for me, and I feel so honored to to have been a part of this team! I made all of these projects with the Sanctuary paper collection.


"Remember" Layout



This is my layout that I made for the December Sketch Challenge. You still have time to play along!

I am absolutely obsessed with cemetery statues. I took these pics a few months ago at a huge cemetery here in Denver, and I knew they would be perfect for the Sanctuary papers!

Here's a closeup of two pieces of chipboard that I layered (the ornate frame and a piece of the small Roman clock set). On the ornate frame, I used embossing powders and chalk ink to get that effect. I pressed my black archival ink pad on the clock piece, and used some gold paint.

Untitled Layout

I love all the rich colors in Sanctuary collection and how they are paired with such soft complimentary colors, so I wanted to play with all of them for this layout.




Here's a close up of the small spring iris piece. I treated it with a heavy layer of gesso, then randomly sprinkled clear embossing powder over it, and dried it with a heat gun. Once dry, I used some acrylic glaze paints and water to get this effect.

You can also see the Boston lattice- nothing fancy there- just a coat of gesso!

I used some of the Bohemian flowers from that set under the flower cluster, along with a key from the vintage key set. I used a platinum embossing powder and once it was hot, I pour small amounts of black embossing powder over it, so it only slightly melded on to the platinum.

I used the same technique on the manor hinges.


"Smile" Card

For this card, I used the Bordeaux Layered Frame. I traced the bottom piece on to the Conservatory paper, then adhered it to the chipboard, and filed the edges for a clean look.


 In this close up, you can see the top layer of the frame- I used several colors of embossing powders, layering them to achieve this effect.

I did the same thing with the "Smile" title. 


I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my projects today, and this past year!

Congrats to the new Blue Fern Studios design team- it's going to be an amazing year!

Hello!every one.
Atmosphere of the world is completely Halloween!

Blue Fern Studios 's paper is not suitable for Halloween?

No! The layout of such Halloween was made with coloring 

and a gorgeous chipboard. 



【HAPPY HALLOWEEN】


The cardboard of this frame colors it with resin sand,
 gesso,acrylic paints, crackle paint.





 I used gelatos, acrylic paints for the coloration of the background.





The cardboard of the title applied crackle paint from the colored top.

【Loving You】
I like a delicate pattern of this paper very much.
So I left it if I added texture with modeling paste only a little in the background.
