November inspiration by Pascale

Hello Sweeties

Today I'm up on Blue Fern Studios blog with three new projects.The first one is a layout featuring both Vintage Christmas collections.

I primed the background with clear gesso. Next, I stamped randomly with the Jingle Bells and the Christmas Collage stamps. When done, I added a design with a stencil and Platinum crackle paste. I let dry naturally.

In the meantime, I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I embossed the snowflakes with the Icicle embossing powder.

I painted all the leaves with a green watercolor, then I sprinkled them with the Fern and the Clover embossing powders to add some texture.

I cut a few pieces of paper to add under the photo as well as a piece of lace. 

The crackle paste dry, I added some green to the background before gluing all the embellishments with a 3D gel. 

To finish the layout I added some seedlings.

My second project featured also the Vintage Christmas collection. I worked with white and gold colors to remind those of the Christmas tree.

First I primed the background with clear gesso. When dry, I added an embossed design made with the Jingle Bells stamp and the Honey embossing powder. Next, I added another design with a stencil and Platinum crackle paste.

While the crackle paste was drying, I primed the Rose leaves, the Fern leaves, and the Snowflakes with white gesso as well as the flowers. I covered the Swirl Ornaments with Gold crackle paste.

I splattered the background with acrylic paints: one gold, the other white pearl. I used those same paints to color the Snowflakes and the Amber Blooms.

I covered the Rose and the Fern leaves with Platinum Crackle paste and let them dry naturally.

I cut a few papers to add under the photo and I glued all the embellishments with a 3D gel.

To finish the layout I added seedlings and glitter.

Here is my last November project: I made three simple Xmas cards with lace, paper and embossing powder.

The three cards are made on the same model.

I cut a triangle in the Homemade paper from the Homespun collection to make the Xmas tree.

I covered the triangles with laces.

I used some left over from the Quatrefoil panel and from the Quilted Page panel to represent the Christmas Tree balls. I embossed them with the Ginger and the 14 Karat powder. 

The card bases were stamped with Versamark and embossed.

There is another family tradition to hide presents under Christmas trees and in piles of snow and search them at night)) So we pretend Santa is nearby)

For the background I used Vintage Christmas 2 - Tree Trimmings.

Framed winterwords are used as Title. All the chipboards in this layout are covered with Icicle Embossing Power.

Hello December

Hello Blue Fern Fans.  I case you haven't noticed, December is not far away!  We are excited to share with you today another project from Dorota Kopec, our November Fan of the Month.  For this beautiful layout, Dorota has chosen the Wonderland paper from our Vintage Christmas collection as the background.  The more I look at it, the more I see.  This layout is the definition of eclectic - not following one system, but selecting and using what are considered the best elements of all systems.

The chipboard pieces used are the Stars & Berries Frame which is layered beneath the photo.  

 Peeking out from the floral clusters you can see holly from the Holly Sprigs set.  

And lastly, the dangling snowflake is from the 3-piece set of Winter Page Dangles.

This close-up shows just what I'm talking about when I say her layout is eclectic.  Here is a gorgeous vintage photo, and the paper certainly has a vintage feel.  But she has used a frame that would be considered modern, and stenciled numbers on the background.  And there is nothing vintage about the color combination, but it all combines for a cohesive look.

In the corner, Dorota has put together a little vignette by cutting the Santa and his sleigh image from the Holiday Cards paper (Vintage Christmas II) and adding it to the design that is already on the paper.  How cute is that?  

Dorota will have one more project for us this month, so be sure to check back.
