Projects with Angelica

Hello everyone! I'm sharing today my final projects as a BFS design team member. It's been an amazing and fun year!  I'm so honored to have had the opportunity to design for such a wonderful company!

I made this layout using the Autumn Anthology collection.  I started with the Newsworthy paper as my background and layered then Penmanship on top.  I painted the Large Roman Clock, Damask Panel and Spring branch chipboard pieces with gesso. Then lightly misted with the Leaf mist.

For this layout I used the Frolic collection. Such pretty soft colors!  I did some layering with the Secretary paper. Then used some pieces of the Calling Cards and Dans de Jardin. Again, I painted the Floral Lattice Bits, Timeless Floral Corner, and Petite Windows with gesso. They sprayed using the leaf and Cotton Candy Mist.

So, I've used up all of the Vintage Christmas Papers that were sent to me! I decided to make a quick card using a scrap piece of the Wonderland paper.  This is my take on the sketch using the Gingerbread House Chipboard. I used a thick uneven coat of Heavy Gesso and sprinkled colored glitter glass while still wet.

 Thanks for stopping by during this busy holiday season!

Vintage Christmas Collection - winter feeling

Hi, so nice you found the time to visit the blog in the busy Christmas weeks.

Not everybody on this world celebrates Christmas .

Today I want to show you that the beautiful Vintage Christmas collection can also be used on other themed layouts . 

The first one is a mixed media page on my favorite paper from the collection.

                               The background is gessod and for the color I used alcohol inks.
               The title piece xoxo was painted white and I added some fairydust when it was still wet.
                       It gives a beautiful glitsery shine, which is hard to see in the picture.

I cut a Brick Ring in two and colored it with two colors ink.

The background stamps come from my favorit stamps out of the collection

My next layout is made after the beautiful sketch for this month challenge.

For me,  this picture shows the line between fall and winter.

I wanted to mirror the picture in my background.

There is a lot of stamping going on .

The chipboard grid piece was perfect to tuck under my photo cluster.

It holds the natural feeling I like .

The titel piece is embossed in dark brown.

Thanks for visiting the blog and Merry Christmas to all of you.

Vintage Christmas Inspiration From Debbie

Hi everyone!  Debbie here with you today.  The month has flown by and I've been busy preparing for Christmas. Still lots to do but somehow it always comes together.   Today I have 3 layouts I created with the Vintage Christmas paper collection.    

My first layout features Magical, Deck The Halls, Noel and Greeting Cards papers,  perfect to highlight an old Polaroid picture of my daughter. Lots of layering and fussy cutting.

I used the two pieces of the Paisley and Vine Flower Chipboard which I embossed with the Imagine Ink Poinsettia Embossing Powder.  Love the red and gold in the powder!

On the side of my photo I used the Jasmine Pendant chipboard, again embossed with the Poinsettia embossing powder.

My second layout features the Noel and Greeting Cards papers.

I used a mixture of 2 embossing powders, Petal and Poinsettia on the Classic Corner and Symphony Border chipboard.  I applied some masking on the background and sprinkled the medium with the Phoenix Glitter.

The title Noel is from Winter Titles, again embossed with a mixture of  Petal and Poinsettia embossing powders.  I lightly misted a doily with some Imagine Ink Persimmon Mist.

My final layout was created using the December sketch with the Wonderland, Greeting Cards and Noel papers.  I did some masking on the background paper and randomly added some Pyrite Glitter and splatters of the Persimmon and Jingle Bells Imagine Ink Mists.

I embossed Joy from Word Ornaments with the Poinsettia embossing powder.

Here I placed the Snow Medley chipboard under my photo.  I painted the chipboard with some white gesso and applied some gold micro beads.

Tucked beneath my layers is the Damask Flourish covered in Pyrite glitter.

                 

I hope you have enjoyed my layouts.  Don't forget that you still have time to enter our December Sketch Challenge.  You can find all of the details here.

Thanks for stopping by!

Fall & Winter- By Keren Tamir

Hello Everyone,

Its Keren here with two projects for the Blue Fern Studios blog. 

The first one is a layout depicting the beautiful colours of fall.

The second project is a winter wonderland double shadowbox canvases.

"An Autumn Story"

I used the Deja Vu- Un Voyage a Paris paper for the background. Then I started drawing brown leaves with some water-colour oil pastels to mimic the leaves on the ground.

I stamped the brick pattern out of the Essential Texture stamp on the background and I also used the Shabby brick bits behind the photo to double the brick effect.

I also used a chipboard Photo arch on the side of the photo along with "An autumn story" title.

<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>.

"Noel Blessings"

My second project this month is a set of two 6x6 shadowbox canvases with a wintery theme.

I used the winter flakes and covered them with diamond dust to make them look realistic.

I also used the Winter Forest chipboard set which was covered in gold glitter.

Then I used two separate titles from the Winter title set which I painted in copper acrylic paint.

I used cheese cloth and many other mixed media elements to create this winter wonderland!!

Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern studios blog

Have a wonderful day!!

Christmas altered art by Marie-Josee

Hello folks!

This is my last post for Blue Fern Studios and I have three projects to show you, all created with the Vintage Christmas collection.

Box card

I did a bit of fussy cutting for the card. I cut the child and the Christmas tree out of the Calling Cards paper. I used a piece of the Country Picket Fence chipboard between the child and the Christmas tree and a piece of the Winter Flakes chipboard set. Both were altered with white gesso.

 

 

 

Gift bag

I created this gift bag from scratch, using a Vintage Christmas paper. I cut small pieces of the Mini Rings Panel and glued them to each side of the bag. Then, I applied gesso randomly with a sponge. I also added Imagine Ink Embossing Powder in Poinsettia.

 

 

Christmas scene

Finally, here's a Christmas scene in a box. I created the box from scratch using kraft paper. I cut the bottom and used parchment paper as a background (you can also use vellum paper). I used various Vintage Christmas papers and a die to create the houses. I added gesso to the edges, as if it is snow. I also altered the two snowflakes from the Winter Flakes set with gesso.

I used parchment paper as a background to be able to light the scene with battery-powered tea lights, which I put behind my Christmas scene, so that it creates a soft glow.
