Attic Charm Project by Bec

Hi Blue Fern Fans, today I have three projects made with the new Attic Charm Collection.

This collection is filled with the most gorgeous papers and pastel colours.

Stillness

First up I have a layout

I started by tearing the Curio paper and layering it onto the Sachet paper.

I then added some stamping with brown ink and the Serendipity Medley & Forever stamps before I added some texture paste through a stencil.

I treated the brick pieces out of the Shabby Brick bits with white crackle paste before I coloured them with a brown mist.

To colour the Roman Clock and Stillness title I used a mix of the Ginger, Oatmeal & Mushroom embossing powders.

I finished off the layout with some Tranquil Blooms & Tranquil Roses and Lilies mixed with a few extra flowers.

Finally I  have a layout made with the June Sketch.

I flipped the sketch so my photo is on the other side of the page.

To colour the Lace Rounds and Scalloped Border I used distress inks.

I covered the Berry Stems with Oatmeal embossing powder.

On my background I used the Serendipity Medley stamp with the Honey embossing powder and the Forever stamp with brown ink.

I finished my layout off with Attic Charm Daises, Courtship Roses, Tranquil Blooms & Tranquil Roses and Lilies

Sandi's June Inspiration and Process Video

Hello, Blue Fern Studios fans! 

Sandi here with you today sharing my June creations which feature the new Attic Charm collection as well as lots of other great Blue Fern Studios products! 

I am totally in love with the entire Attic Charm collection! There are so many ways that it can be utilized but I went soft and demure on both my projects. 

First up is this sweet layout with a photo of my niece and grandniece. Of course, little Lexi is one of our newest family "princesses," so the chipboard title seemed perfect. 

I did a little background work with super heavy gesso and a stencil and then pulled out my Imagine Ink Leaf mist to add some depth. I've also used the BFS Wallflower stamp for dimension. 

My photo was framed with the Rose Shield chipboard which was gessoed and then embossed with Snow Embossing Powder. I did some random embossing with Lilac, Lime and Icicle Embossing Powder. For glimmer, I added some Peridot Glitter. To the left are some of our new Attic Charm Daisies. 

Under and beneath my photo layers I've included the Collage Border which was treated similarly to the Rose Shield for a cohesive look. Just a bit more subdued. I love that this shot includes a close-up of our new Attic Charm Glitter Roses as well as the Daises. Seriously in love with these flowers! 

My title was heat embossed with Snow Embossing Powder and then inked a bit to help make it pop off the page. The Icicle Embossing Powder was added to the crown for a little more sparkle . I balanced it with a few of our new flowers and layered it with a Calling Card.

Some of our gorgeous new Attic Charm Glitter Roses and Daisies. 

The "Working Part" chipboard which was so fun to alter! 

Love how the title chipboard turned out! 

I'm obsessed with all of our new flowers including the Tranquility Blooms I've tucked in. 

Just  a little dimensional shot for you!

Attic Charm Inspiration & More by Nicole

Every time Blue Fern Studios releases a new collection, I get a new favorite!

They are all designed so beautifully, with so much attention to detail, and Attic Charm certainly is no exception!  Soft and pretty with a touch of vintage - I absolutely adore it!

Here is my first layout created with this wonderful new line.

My page was inspired by the June BFS sketch challenge:

My favorite part of Attic Charm are these gorgeous paper daisies.

A very popular chipboard piece from BFS is the Music Box which is strikingly gorgeous.

I covered it with Cotton Candy Imagine Ink embossing powder and sprinkled a little Watermelon glitter to add a little sparkle and texture.  I then dabbed the piece with a little Pearl powder and white paint.

I combined the Attic Charm daisies with some fussy cut flowers from the papers and pale green Courtship Blooms and sneaked a Leafy Page Accents behind the flower cluster.

I added strips of the Tattered Diamond Bits to the layered paper strips below my picture, and used the word Heart, covered in Melon embossing powder, as part of my title.

Very shabby chic, indeed!

Blue Fern Studios supplies used:

Patterned papers: Attic Charm (Generation, Foyer, Haberdashery, Calling Cards)

Chipboard: Happy, Music Box, Leafy Page Accents, Tattered Diamond Bits

Flowers: Attic Charm Daisies, Courtship Blooms

Stamps: Weathered Doilies, Essential Textures

Imagine Ink: Embossing Powder (Cotton Candy, Pearl, Fuscia) / Glitter (Watermelon)

***

I created another layout for my reveal using the Attic Charm collection,

this time with the Generation patterned paper as my base.

For my title, I decided to combine the words Blissful and Love from two different sets.

I colored Blissful in Melon embossing powder and Love in Mushroom.

I really loved this quote from the Calling Cards paper!  You can also framing my photo an older BFS chipboard piece, the Blue Fern Frame, that was in my stash even before I joined the DT.  I was waiting for the perfect opportunity to use it, and I thought it looked quite nice with this setup.  I cut it into pieces to add a piece on either side of my photo and covered it with my favorite Imagine Ink tone by far, Peacock.

A very romantic page for a very happy couple in love!

Patterned paper: Attic Charm (Generation, Calling Cards) ***

Chipboard: Blissful, Love, Blue Fern Frame

For my final layout today, I went back in time a little and used the older collection, Autumn Anthology to go along with this fantastic photo taken by my friend Christine on her and her boyfriend's once in a lifetime trip to Turkey, last September.

Of course, due to the whole hot air balloon theme, I had to use this gorgeous piece called Olga's Layered Balloon.  I treated the bottom layer with black and espresso distress stains as well as dabs of blue paint, and covered the fancy top layer with Imagine Ink Melon embossing powder.

I stamped different travel-theme designs from the Journey and Postal Textures stamp sets on my background and fussy cut this pretty balloon from the papers.  The word Stillness seemed a perfect title for the photo and page!

I added the Organic Vine Corner that I separated and stuck each side of my flower cluster.

It was treated with distress stains, the same as the title and bottom layer of the balloon chipboard.

All main flowers are from Blue Fern Studios, including the blue flower which is from the Tranquil Roses set.  I altered it a little, removing its center and replacing it with a brown pearly brad.

How truly magical is this scene!?
My friend is very lucky to have been able to experience it and I wanted to create this layout for her as a keepsake.  I am sure that she will appreciate all the BFS goodies used on it!
