So let me introduce myself, for those who don't know me.
My name is Melanie, Tartine Peluche on social media. I'm 35 years old and I live Quebec in Canada.
I do principally layouts, sometime cards and canvas, I've been doing scrapbooking for several years, starting with cards, Since 2 years I've changed for layouts and I really love that,
My style is mostly shabby but I like touch everything and discover new techniques.
What is sure, is that my style is very detailed and filled with flowers!

*Handmade with love*
(Vintage christmas)

------------------------------------------------

To start I used a stencil and pink ink, then with a pink ink pad I stamped with Departure Stamp in a few places and thereafter always with the same stamp I stamped with a brown ink pad.
 That's all for the background.

I stamped on a watercolor paper several times the wreath motif of the stamp Holiday Wreath, then I colored them and cut in leaves only. I used them as foliage for my roses from the collection Garden Blooms to which I added some fake snow.

I altered my Shabby Flakes chipboards with SNOW embossing powder and I also added fake snow on these.A small printed chipboard from Homespun - Printed Chipboard and one white flower from Apricot Blooms finishes this side of my layout.

As a base, I used Vintage Christmas's printed chipboard oval and I created a wreath with the folliage remaining cut out earlier.

Of all the winter chipboards the Winter Deers are really my fav, just because i'm so in love with this wonderful animal. I could put on all my layout :)
This one is embossed with Copper and on top of it I added fake snow too, like my flowers...

( Remnants )

This background is a little more complicated, much texture and several pieces of chipboard Chain Link Panel that I embossed with Night Sky.

On shrink plastic I stamped a butterfly from the stamp Spring Accents after cooking it, I added some glitters ( Red Wine ) Some flowers and a piece of torn lace 5 complete this side.

I know we don't see much but I embossed my chipboard Rose Shield with Baby Pink. He is hidden by flowers and another piece torn of lace. My title cut in three pieces is embossed with Plum.

On my pink flowers from Spring Florals collection , another butterfly in shrink plasticstamped with Bourbon Street stamp.

I embossed my Organic Vine Corner chipboard and my cutout doily with Ivory powder.

On an acetate sheet, I stamped one butterfly from Butterflies stamp and I cut it.
Maybe you'll see better on the next picture.

* You Make Me Smile *
( Remnants )
------------------------------------------------

Another background a little complicated, that I will not explain to you, for lake of time ...
But I can tell you about this picture. you see myself in the company of my little cat saved. I found him abandoned by another human, just a few months old ... His name is Gaston and I love him so much, I can't see my life without him.

Sometimes, I think I should put less details LOL
I created from the Garden Window chipboard, a vine. All folliage used
are embossed with Green Ivory powder.

The chipboard embossed in Night Sky, on my background, is actually the interior of my Garden Window chipboard that I cutted. The leaves embossed in Green Ivory under the window shutter come from the Forest Branch chipboard. I will use the remaining branch and the bird later ...

I really love the effect of what the berries makes with the mix of flowers. Check in the description below for all details of what I've used. Under the flowers, the Blooming Flourishes chipboard also embossed in Green Ivory powder.
When you order them, you receive two identical pieces, I used both.

For my title, You Make Me Smile I embossed a first time in Baby Pink powder. Then, at just a few places, I used Lavender Eggs powder for a slight contrast and reminiscent of the purple of my layout.

I really love mini beads, and the Blue Fern Studio's seedlings are so cute and polyvalent. Here I've used Mauve and Purple Haze for adding texture and details.
I've mixed together two glitters : Pyrite & Spring Posy in a secret blend ... for make flakes.
 I added them on my background.

November inspiration and Video tutorial by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans!
Vera Shelemekh is here all over in tinsel and glitter  Why? Just because Christmas is coming. And I don't know a scrapbooker who didn't pile the crafty space with Christmas paper and embelishments.
I did! And today I'll show you two Christmas layouts + a video tutorial with the amazing Vintage Christmas collection.

The fist layout is about my son and snowy Christmas eve. The picture was taken last year. Colors fit the Vintage Christmas collection perfectly. I used Let it snow paper as background.

 

Winter trees chipboards are covered with green acrylic paint and Blue Fern Studios Avocado Embossing powder

 

 

I also included deer in the composition. It's covered with Icicle Embossing powder.

Have you seen the new fantastic Vintage Christmas printed Chipboards? I've used the piece with the house.

The leaves die cuts are made of Vintage Christmas 2 - Twas the Night. And I laso cut some flowers from Holiday cards and Vintage Christmas - Deck the Halls

July inspiration by Tartine Peluche

Hi everyone!

I'm back to share with you my new layouts of month.

My first one is :

The young woman was silent ...

For this layout I have to work in layer, several paper of the collection Happy Accident,

 a few paper cut and my chipboards.

I used Fortuity paper.

First my background is very simple a little cheese cloth here and there and some stamping with Serendipity medley and Grungy grid stamp. 

In the foreground the title "Story" embossed with the embossing powder "Copper". 

Under this one a chipboard of the kit "Spring Trinkets" embossed with Snow embossing powder, I then sprinkled with brilliant Burnt Copper.

On both sides of the title, the chipboard ginger's poppies embossed with Pink Dust embossing powder. 

Which I cut in two and placed on two different layers under the photo

Under the top of the picture, we find part of the chipboard Holiday Deer 

( No one said that deer live only in winter ... ;) But I removed the snowflakes from the chipboard.

I cut the chipboard so as to keep that central part for the top of my photo 

the other two pieces of the chipboard are layered under the flowers on the right side of the photo.

I embossed them with Oatmeal embossing powder and distressed with light brown ink pad.

If we look again on the left side of the picture we find one of the kit chipboards Petite Boutique Frames.

I embossed it with the powder "Snow" then I made a crackle treatment and then I added pink ink to bring out the cracks. 

Then I glued a piece of lace to the back.

I also used two deer from the kit "winter deer" I also embossed them with Oatmeal embossing powder and distresser with light brown ink pad.

I used small pink flowers from Courtship Roses kit.

My two others layouts featuring Garden Life paper

Capture life's moments

For the first of two, I used Felicity paper.

This background is a little more sophisticated than the first.

 I started by creating my texture then I played with ink and stamps.

 I really like the attached letter writing of "Serendipity Medley"stamp.

 I used it with a black ink to create contrast.

Then with the chipboard "Shabby Brick Bits" I added a little more texture to my background. 

I embossed it with "Snow" and applied a thin layer of blue opalescent paint.

To embellish my photo, I always opt for layers of paper, thus creating depth to my creation.

Between the different layers I added here, my flowers. 

The daisy comes from the kit "Attic Charms Daisy" the roses come from the kit "Garden Blooms"

If you look on either side of my photo, I used a peony from the kit "Chesterville Blooms" that I cut in half.

As journaling for my layout I used few printed chipboards from Garden life 

and "inspiration" come from Happy Accident printed chipboard.

Have you seen the new Rose Leaves chipboards? I love them! Here I painted them in green.

In the lower right corner of my page, there is a flower, normally white from Heartland Blossoms kit ... 

A happy accident made him fall into my ink ... and became like that ... I find her pretty!

I kept the best for the end ... my butterflies! (Royal Monarchs)

First of all, I put white gesso, after I used two different inks, one green and one gold.

 Then I made some white splash with gesso.

With a piece of lace that I inked with the same ink as my background, 

I stuck to the back of my butterflies. I really like the result!

So, you know everythings ...

Blossom Story

For this layout I've not did mixed media background. 

I just played with the paper ... I cut it,  torn it, and distressed it.

I started with the paper "Flower Bed" which I drew the flowers with black pencil. 

Each of the flowers one after the other ... I spent the day ...

I've used almost all the paper in entire.

Each of the cut parts placed on different layers under my photo.

My title "story" is embossed in white and then half of the top is embossed in purple. 

I used Snow and Lavender Eggs embossing powder.

Butterflies are stamped on a paper of "Spring Parade / May Vignettes"

 I used "Bourbon Street" and "Spring Accents" stamps

The "Looped Frames" and "Quatrefoil Panel" chipboards are simply embossed in white with Snow  embossed powder.

The small piece from Quatrefoil Panel is embossed with Baby Pink embossing powder.

I also added chipboard Leafed Bough that I cut into several pieces. I painted this one in green.

I used several yellow flowers of the kit "Garden Blooms" but I removed the central 

part of the flowers to keep only the petal of the bottom.

See my close ups for all details.
