May Projects by Vera Shelemekh

Hello Blue Fern Studios fans! 
Vera Shelemekh is here. Today is my turn to inspire you with the amazing Happy Accident collection. The self adhesive chipboards are absolutely gorgeous, aren't they? So easy to adhere and fun to play with!

My first layout is telling a summertime story. I even see the sun rays  shining from the right upper corner). I used Happy Accident - Incident paper for the background and a couple of pieces from the self adhesive chipboards set.

Graduated Circles and Chelsea Vines chipboards are covered with acrylic paint and some Mermaid glitter.

I love the combination of bright yellow and blue bubbles and flowers and watercolor birds from the Owls and birds stamps set.


And here is my video tutorial showing how to make this layout. I hope you will find it useful.

 On the Whimsey Flourish and the Sunshine title i used Snow embossing powder and on the Floral Lattice Bits i used Sand & Sea embossing powder to let it stand out more on the lace i used.

Fan of the Month Album and Video

We hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday.  It's week 3 with our Blue Fern Fan of the Month, Cheryl Kearns.  Today, we continue our journey through the romantic album she has created using our Spring Parade Collection, and include a video from Cheryl.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 



These pages are made with the “Remembrance” papers. I have a belly band running down the center of the left page, with a floral cluster and the Large Flourish chipboard. On the opposite page I made a magnetic flap with lace on the border. I have a floral cluster on top of the flap, with the Royal Border chipboard that I embossed with Cotton Candy embossing powder. 





I used the “Sunday Best” to make pockets on both pages. I also used the Large Chipboard Flourishes to highlight my flowers.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

Cheryl has created a video walk-through of this amazing album, which you can see on her blog HERE.  

Thanks so much for joining us today.  We will be back next Wednesday with one final post from Cheryl.
