Chipboard Tutorial; Canvas; and a Matchbox Mini Sewing Kit

Hello everyone, Joyce here again, and I'm going to share with you a quick and easy tutorial that you can use on any of your chipboard pieces:

Canvas made with the Blue Fern Studios petite boutique frame, using the same technique posted above on the Regal Ornaments.  I posted a quick and easy tutorial for the canvas background on my blog if you'd like to try it and the tutorial above using some Blue Fern Studios chipboard:

On the Iron Works piece below, simply apply white crackle paint, mist, and apply some drywall tape over the piece and highlight the textures squares with some rub-on  metallic paste.

Matchbox Mini Sewing Kit.  I took a part a medium sized matchbox to use as a pattern and created this little sewing kit using the Miss Taylor chipboard pieces.  Simply rub-on some metallic paste on the scissors but don't cover up the entire chipboard piece and then lightly mist a color of your choice on the entire chipboard piece. Easy, right?

Let us know if you try out the tutorial on your Blue Fern Studio chipboard pieces so that we may visit you and see what you created too.

Three projects with Irina Gerschuk

Hi ladies!
It's Irina with you today and I'm really excited to share my new projects!
My first project is a LO "Blooming Beauty" about my little sister. It tells a short "family story" about our walk in the woods one hot summer day:

And let me show you some close-ups:
I covered the title "Blooming Beauty" with two different colors of paints then added a layer of crackle accent and after all covered it spontaneously with microbeads:

Here is one more closer look at the title, and under the rose is a piece from the Ornate Medallions set:

Well, here are three different pieces of BFS: Symphony border (also painted with different colors and than added microbeads), Evening Lamp Post (I covered it with white embossing powder) and parts from the Garden Window (again painted with different paints and after it added a layer of glance lacquer):

 The same window but from the other angle (just want to show you all the painting and volume here))):

And here are the pieces of BFS that I've used in the LO:

Garden Window (Model: 074691):

Symphony Border (Model: 074530):

Evening Lamp Post (Model: 074660):

Ornate Medallions (Model: 074462):

Blooming Beauty (Model: 074554):

My next project is a birthday card. I used the Calligraphic Border and Damask Flourish in it:

Some close-ups:
The Damask Flourish I covered with two different kinds of paints (choosing colors that match the palette of the card) and than added a thick layer of crackle accent:

 I added a flower composition on top of it to achieve more volume and details here:

 And here is one of my favorite pieces of BFS - the Calligraphic Border. As to me it's stylish, elegant and so universal that can match almost very work))) I covered it with white embossing powder:

And here are the pieces I've used:

Damask Flourish (Model: 074868):

Calligraphic Border (Model: 074363):

My last project for today is a soft handmade notebook made from stitch:

I've used a piece from the Double-Dutch Flourish Set here:

 Covered the chipboard with lavender paint and than with white crackle paint:

And here is the BFS piece by itself:

Double-Dutch Flourish Set (Model: 074431):

That's all for today!

Thanks for stopping by!

Two layouts and a Tag from Irene

Hello everyone! First of all, I would like to share a layout which I've created based on this month's sketch challenge.



I've painted the Blue Fern Studio's floral clock with some black acrylic paint and detailed it with some metal embellishments, flowers and pearls.

Here is a picture of the chipboard piece used:

Floral Clock

My second project is a tag.



I've used a couple of feminine chipboard sets on this tag.

I've painted the mirror with white and later brush a thin layer of glitter on top of it. As for the dress form, I've painted it with black and deco with a small lace flower.

On the perfume bottles, I've painted them with dimensional paint and later covered them with stickers and glossy accents.

Here are the chipboard used:

Miss Tailor Set

Vanity Set

My last project for this month is another layout.

Here are some close-ups on the chipboard used.

All the chipboard pieces on this layout are misted with paints and later paint over with some dimensional paints.

Here are the chipboard pieces used:

Brigitte Butterfly Set

Floral Clock

Garden Daisies - Large

Garden Daisies - Small



Hope you all like all these projects. Happy scrapping!
