March Inspiration by Elena Volchkova

Hi everyone! Today my three works will remind you of spring and romance. I wish you the most beautiful spring!

Tropical paradise layout

The first page about my vacation. About the place wh is so beautiful! About happy and joy :)


I used the Ombre Dreams paper as my background. Such light and airy! Chipboard Floral Lattice Bits continued the theme. Colored to turquoise wiht Sea Mist embossing powder and glitters - Blue Ice and Dijon colors.

In this layout, I used a lot of flower. They continued flower in the photo and create the same tropical paradise. Lovely Courtship Blooms and Courtship Roses embellish corne with chipboard Sunshine (The Optimist Word Set). It was covered with mixture of Imagine Ink embossing powders in Honey and Copper.

Stamp Forever with Copper Imagine Ink embossing powder helps to make an interesting background.


On the layout a lot of glitter. I used these three shades - Dusty Rose, Blue Ice, Dijon.
Now all sparkles and shimmers :)

Walking in the gardens layout

My second project of March you can already see. This layout I have made for the Blue Fern March sketch. It's about romance of a country house, a walk in the garden with Courtship Lane collections. 

I used the Vintage Edges and Arcadia Textures stamps with Imagine Ink Iris embossing powder to create some details on my background.

Little Rabbit (All Natural Set chipboard) a wonderfully complements the mood of a summer day.



Here I used the Imagine Ink Celestial embossing powder to color the chipboard word "Fascination" (Serendipity Words 2). And to add some Imagine Ink Iris embossing powder to accent.

I cut a few pieces of paper to layer under my photo, I distressed all the edges. I also added Whimsy Flourishes Chipboard,  lace, cotton rope, paillettes, flowers and berries.

March Projects with Yuko

Hello!Friends!Yuko is here.

I introduce a layout using new work Courtship Lane collection 

and a layout using Serendipity collection today!

【Fairy Tale】

This Courtship Lane collection works for the feeling that purple has good!

It is a flower of this Courtship Lane collection which purple and a pink flower release from Blue Fern Studios　

As size is just right, it is easy to use it.

After the cardboard did emboss in Pearl

　I attached MYSTIC PLUM glitter here and there.

It is the color that this glitter is beautiful!

I painted title cardboard with the Opal white of the liquid pearl.

This Green used emboss powder (VERDANT).

This color is a calm good feeling, too.

【Cute】

This uses Serendipity.

I made it with every possible bright feeling in this series.

Blue Fern Studios is apt to look elegant by all means.

But I made it so that such a casual photographs were put together

 as there was not only such a photograph which fitted elegantly.

This cardboard did emboss in emboss powder (Oatmeal).

Yellow-green of the leaves is also embossing powder (LIME).

Dark even in the same green-green, yellow-green, there are many variations.

The emboss powder of Oatmeal is an all-around player fitting elegantly casually!

In love with the Courtship Lane collection (Karine)

Hi there, Blue Fern Studios fans,

I can't believe spring is here! And what better way to celebrate it than with our new Courtship Lane collection? It's gorgeous colors and pretty patterns are perfect for the season!

Love

For this layout, I used two paper as my background: Town Gossip and Concert Hall. I altered them with modeling paste and a stencil, and I added color with watercolor. I also used a card from the Calling Cards paper in my paper cluster.

My main chipboard piece is the Bordeaux Layered frame which come in two parts. The bottom one, I painted with white gesso and sprayed mists over it, to match the color in the background paper. For the swirly top part, I covered it with white gesso. I chose to leave it white because I thought it was contrasting over the pink chipboard.

While I was looking in my box of smaller chipboards, I found a little piece (you can see it in the picture above, just below my frame) that came from a flourish from the Leafy Page Accents. I painted it with white gesso also, to match the frame. I thought it filled the gap between my flower and my frame perfectly. I never throw away even the tiniest pieces: you never know when they can come handy.

My title piece, from the Adore, Love, Cherish set is also painted plain white.

Perfect

My second layout is way much colourful.than my first one. I chose the Parkway paper as my background. I was inspired by the colors of the feather on the left of the page. 

My composition on mainly based on the Whimzy Flourishes that frame my picture. I embossed them with Imagine Ink Garnet embossing powder. 

I created my flowers clusters around the two flourishes. I also fussy cut some flower from the Calling Cards paper to put in my clusters, to give dimension. You can see, in a few places, that I used the Forever stamp set to add a bit of texture to my background. 

My title, part of the Perfect, Adorable, Special set, is embossed with Imagine Ink Iris embossing powder.

Happy

My last layout uses the beautiful West Plaza paper. I chose the colors of my layout based on the damask pattern of the paper.

I used the Garden Frolic stamp set to stamp randomly on my background.

To frame my picture, I used the Celebration Hearts, which I embossed with Imagine Ink Snow embossing powder. I built my flower clusters around them.

My title piece, from The Optimist Word Set, was embossed with Imagine Ink Lilac embossing powder and glued over my embellishments.

I hope my creations inspired you.

Have a nice crafty day.
