September inspirations by Jennifer Jacques

Hello Blue Fern Studios fanatics!

Here are 3 layouts, all made with the brand new HAPPY ACCIDENT 2!!!

As Happy accident was my all-time favorite from BFS,

 I was thrilled to work HA2 as part of this design team.

So here is my first one 

I used "Faux" and "Suave" as my background paper.

Above, the title was embossed with Black Sand embossing powder and below, 

you  can see the new Criss Cross chippies who are embossed also but

 with Oatmeal embossing powder.

I've made some random stamping with the music sheet from the stamp set "For the birds".

My second layout was a beachy theme creation.

The "Smarty" paper (b-side) is used as my background on this one.

 Use some ephemeras here and there also to complete my focal point.
My focal point is based on the Swirls and Twirls chippies
and were embossed with 2 colors:
Sea mist and Breeze.

Some Wanderlust lilies around my picture...

Some  stamping with Swiss dots and also with Halftone stamps.

Below: Waderlust and Ephemeras again :)

April inspirations by Jennifer Jacques

Hello all Blue Fern Fans,

It's my turn again here on the blog, with my April inspirations.
 I chose to work with three different collections this time.

First of all, a layout with a 2018 collection, Remnants.

Beaumont (b-side) paper was used as my background paper.  You can see it on the left.  On the right, this is Devonshire that I've used.  As I layered that particular part on a scrap of cardstock, I can tuck some Lace 4 pieces under it to add some details between the two papers.  You can also see the beautiful Blacksand embossing powder on my fairy chippie.

Finally, look at those beautiful BFS flowers 💕

The two white ones with the pearl inside are from Remnants Florals and 

the yellow one, above my picture, is in the Fresh Florals set. 

I added some flairs and some diecuts leaves with the flowers and that was it for that layout!

Lace: no 4

Flowers: Remnants florals and Fresh florals

**************************

For my second layout, Garden life was the collection that have inspired me.

Sun kissed (b-side) is the paper that I've had a crush on this time.  I applied some clear gesso, some texture paste through a stencil and then, some pigment powders to enhance my focal point.

After all my mediums was dry, I stamped here and there with Departure Stamp that is perfect for vacation themed layouts.

I layered my two pictures on a tag made with In Bloom paper.  

Under that, a piece of Flower bed paper.

I also add in my clustering some flowers made out of vellum paper and embossed with Snow embossing powder.  On the right corner, I displayed some cute BFS flowers from Garden blooms and Fresh florals

Beside, the title is a chippie from Arrow words set, 

embossed with Ebony powder.

Really love that pinky layout: did you?

Finally, my favorite layout for this month.

With one of my favorite Blue Fern collection of all time: Happy Accident!

The paper named Chance is my background here.  I applied some clear gesso, some modeling paste through a stencil and added some watercolor effect with sprays.  I made 2 tags with Layerings cards paper to display my picture on.

See that beautiful color on my title?

It's Coral embossing powder and I'm in looooooove with it!  

On the next pictures, you will see a lot of Blue Fern Studios flowers.

The peach one is from Chesterville blooms and I admit that I've split it in two parts: on the left higher corner under my picture and a smaller part that I've rolled on itself on the opposite.  

Two beautiful Dark tropic blue lilies and a white burlap from Remnants blooms beside the picture.  On the right side, another white one (with a flair in her middle) and a pink one from Moody florals.

Here and there. some black stamping with Swiss dots to add details on that background.

As final touches, some fussycut Butterflies, some pearls, 

some white gesso splatters and that's all for this Sourire layout.

March inspirations by Jennifer Jacques

Hello Blue Fern Fans!!!

It's my turn today on the Blue Fern Studios blog and 

I'm glad to show you my three layouts for March.

 

For the first one, I've chosen to go with the latest collection, the lovely In the mood.  

"Attracted" was the paper I've chosen as my background.  I applied clear gesso, then permanent ink through a stencil and, finally, some stamping here and there.  

There is also a piece of "Blissful" paper (b-side) under my picture.

Above, you can see that I've placed my picture on a piece of chipboard, that I've had embossed with Oatmeal embossing powder.  Higher, you can also see the stamping with Grungy grid Stamp, one of my favorite.  Lace #4 is used in little parts, here and there, as an ornement by itself.

Did you know that pink is my favorite color?  I was so happy when I saw the collection, and look at this beautiful paper flower...  Pale pink, just like I adoooooore!!!  Came from Moody florals set.  Pieces of Lace #4 again, and Forest embossing powder on my chipboard leaves.  

Next, a complete picture of what I've done to my title.

I applied some heat and stick powder, than my Mocha glitters.  I fell in love.  Isn't it beautiful???

Again, you can partly see under my title the Grungy grid stamping but also some with a 

Texture circles ( I've chosed the script lettering one).

Some white gesso splattering, a little bit of sequins and that was it!

Next, my favorite one!

Wanderlust collection this time.  Can't believe it was my first time with that beautiful collection.

Two papers were used as the background.  The upper part is Memento (b-side) and Ocean Voyage as the lower one.  The green part in the middle is Ocean voyage b-side.  Clear gesso and some sprays as watercoloring in some places to add some colors under my focal point.

Then, I've added some stamping with three differents stamps: Crackle textures (black ink), Swiss dots (light brown ink) and Tattered  newsprint (pale navy blue one).

Did you notice the lace under my picture?  It's the lovely Lace #12.  I  loved that one sooooo much that I've had almost finish what I have on hand loll.

I've cutted my title and then embossed it with the Taupe embossing powder.  Really love that color.  Like a browny-gold shimmery color... It's beautiful, really!

Above, between the layers of papers, I stuck some flowers that I've folded to make them more dimensional.  The white one in the left corner is from Christmas blooms set and the kaki-green one beside, is a yellow flower that I've misted to match the color of my layout and came from Fresh Florals.

Finally, some personnal touches like white gesso splatters, some flairs and some butterflies.

Finally, the third one with Heartland collection!

Perfectly matches my picture, no???

 My background is the "Love blooms" paper (B-side) and I've placed some pieces of "Love notes" under the pictures.  It is all on a big piece of chipboard panel that I've embossed with the Snow embossing powder, then add some metallic blue paint that I've sanded after it was dry.  After that, I've done some stamping with the Grungy grid stamp and a black permanent ink.

I've stamped the weathered doilie twice on my background.  Just a black permanent ink.  

Love the distress look of that stamp.

As ornements, I've added many flowers on that layout.  The bold blue ones, and the whites with the pearls are from Heartland blooms.  Others are from my personal stash.

My title is also embossed but with the Ebony embossing powder.

Finally, I've added some die-cut leaves that I've made with the "Sweet on you" paper with my flowers clustering, some flairs and 

some white gesso splatters as usual.
