Three layouts, three collections by Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

I hope you enjoy summer and spending time outside with your family and friends....but also have some time to be creative!  There is some inspiration for you!  I play with three different collections of papers.

Jubilation:

This layout feature my parents and my oldest daughter.  She is  so happy when they are around!  We have the chance to have them near, so we often have some quality time with them! To create this layout, I use the Tranquility and the Attic charm paper collections.

For my background, I use the Serenity paper from the Tranquility Collection.  Then I randomly cut the Stillness paper (Tranquility collection) and the Calling cards paper (Attic Charm Collection). I glue those pieces on the background paper to had texture.  Then, I cover the hole thing with clear gesso and had some white gesso randomly.  When dry, I had some stamping with the Serenity Medley Stamp set and the Arcadia Texture stamp set.  Finally, I play with my inks.

For my title, I use the Blissful, Jubilation, Patience chipboard set.  I emboss it with the Imagine Ink Cotton Candy Embossing powder. To had texture to my creation, I use the Mesh Bits Chipboard set.  On this set, I had Imagine Ink Watermelon glitter.

On my layout, I use a variety of flowers.  I use some Courtship Blooms and Attic Charm Daisies.  The others where flowers from my stash.

Capture The Moment:

On this picture, you can see my two daughters ready for there dance show!  They love dance classes and the show, at the end of the season, is a moment that they are waiting for!  They are so proud.  I use the Tranquility Collection.

On this Layout, I use the Calm and the Jubilation paper from the Tranquility collection. I use both sides of those papers.  I tear them and glue them on a old and ugly paper from my stash (certainly not Blue Fern one! LOL). I recover the surface with clear gesso.  Then, i stamp with the Forever Stamp set and the Vintage Edges stamp set.  I had color with various blues inks.  Surrounding my picture, I use the Keepsake Frame Chipboard.  I cut it in two to make it wider.  I leave it natural, just had a little bit of with gesso with a dry brush.

For my title, I use the Captured Words chipboard set.  I Emboss it with the Imagine Ink In the Navy Embossing Powder. 

I use some Courtship Blooms and Tranquil Roses and lilies flowers from  Blue Fern. The printed ones are from my stash. The leaves are from the Natural springs Chipboard set.  I emboss the leaves in Imagine Ink Lime Embossing powder first. Then I had a touch of Imagine Ink Sage Embossing Powder. 

In the top corner, I use a piece from the Framed Trinquet Chipboard set.  Live it natural, but had a tiny bit of white gesso with a dry brush.

Blissful:

For my last creation, I use the Serenity Paper Collection.  This picture of Mathilde and me was taken at the airport, just before we take the plane for our last family vacation in France.  It was a very joyful moment.  What a good memory!

For my creation, I use 3 papers from the Serenity collection:  Reminisce, Calling cards and Contemplation.

On my background, I stamp with the Garden frolic Stamp set and the Arcadia Texture stamp set. I emboss the Garden frolic stamp with the Imagine Ink Petal Embossing powder.  For my title, I use the Blissful, Jubilation, Patience chipboard set.  I emboss it with the Imagine Ink Mushroom Embossing powder

To add texture to the layout, I use the Floral Lattice Bits chipboard set and leave it unaltered. The frame i use is the Circle Vine chipboard.  I emboss it with Imagine Ink Petal Embossing powder

Thanks for watching!  See you next month and don't forget to enjoy summer!  It is going so fast!

My first projects for Blue Fern Studios: Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

I'm so happy to present you my first three projects for Blue Fern Studios!  I'm so proud of being choose to be part of this great talented team.  I really hop to inspire you all year long.

My name is Marie-Eve Bernard.  I live in the beautiful Quebec City, Canada, with my family.  I'm the mother of two girls, Delphine and Mathilde, and pregnant of the third one (It's for July).  My husband, Laurent, will be surrounded by pink and princesses!  My family is my source of inspiration.  I'm a scrapbooker since more then 10 years now.  My style changed a lot over the past years.  I'm now passionate by mixed media.  I can't do a layout without getting my fingers dirty.  One thing that do not change over the years: my love of gorgeous papers, chipboards and flowers. So, I'm in heaven here with Blue Fern Studios products.

First Layout: Laughter

My first layout is made with the gorgeous Déjà Vu collection. I love the soft look of this collection.

On this flourish piece, I completely recovered it with the Iris Embossing Powder.  After, I emboss it a second time entirely with the Pearl Embossing Powder.  Finally, I add a little touch of Icicle Embossing powder.

The frame is simply embossed with the Icicle Embossing Powder.  For my title piece, I cover it with heavy Gesso and create texture with a stiff brush, just like stucco.  When the gesso is dry, I used a spray ink to color it.

Layouts with Déja Vu collection by Keren Tamir

I'm excited to showcase my projects today at the Blue Fern Studios Blog. 

I've used the Deja Vu collection for both these layouts.

Both layouts were created on the same background but with two different colour schemes which shows the paper's versatility.

"Sweetheart"

Although its spring, my first project is snow filled with earthy colours.

I framed my daughter's picture in the Winter flake frame which I personally designed for Blue Fern Studios. I covered it randomly with cream coloured embossing powder and then inked it in brown.

The background was stamped with the Deja Vu Stamps, the vintage edges stamp and the journey stamp. All were inked with brown distress ink.

Finally I used the Sweetheart word from the Lovebirds set.

<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

"Perfect photo op"

Thie second layout was also stamped in the background with a new BFS stamp. I used the widgets stamp to create the texture in the background.

This is an old picture of my son. He must be 3 years old here. I framed it in one of the vintage labels chipboard pieces which I coloured in green distress ink. I also used the seaweed chipboard to add as an embellishment. 

Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog!!

Have a wonderful day!!
