Priceless Moments with the Montage collection

Hello friends, can you imagine it's already October and the last quarter of the year?! Oh my gosh, time has really past hasn't it?

Today I'm up on the Blue Fern Studios blog with an education video and I'm squealing with excitement because it features the gorgeous Montage collection that Michele Singh has designed. I basically just swooned over it - too pretty!

Here's the mixed media layout I created:


I've used "Now and Then" as my background paper, together with layering pieces from "Society" and "Calling Cards". Tucked between the papers are the new Poppies and Jasmine collages. These are my favourite at the moment and they are actually a combination of flowers with existing chipboard designs already available (Poppies is mixed with Bits of Honey, and Jasmine is mixed with Checkered Bits).

Some close-ups:


My page title from "Bouquet".


The Poppies collage. Love the effect you get when layering shades of colors.


This is the Jasmine collage and you can see the gradients in the colors giving an ombre effect. 


So here's the video I've made, do enjoy the process!




That's all I have for today. If you have not subscribed to us on Youtube, now's the time to do so! And do drop by the blog again to see what the rest of the fabulous team has in store for you.
