June inspiration by Jennifer Jacques

Hello Blue Fern fans!

Jennifer here for June inspirations.

2 layouts with the new Tattered walls collection and another one with previous release.

So, I will start today with a layout about my brother's first Spartan Race.  

I've start this layout by simply add some ink through a stencil on my background, 

which is The maid's room

Used a lot of new assorted ephemeras to built my focus point.

Numbers are cut out from In the garage paper.

Then' I've finish this first layout bu adding some flowers from my own stash, flairs, enamel dots and some dimensional black paint drops.

Really love that Blue Fern Studios now have ephemeras to complete our layouts :)

******************
For my second layout, it was also the Tattered Walls collection that have inspired me.  And my boyfriend gave me a challenge: using a Cercei's picture from Games of Thrones.

So let's start with it!

Here I've start with clear gesso on my background paper: Powder room (b-side)

Then, some sprays to add watercolors, some modeling paste with a stencil and some random stamping with differents Blue Fern Studios stamps.  Above, you can easily see the Tattered Newsprint stamp.  Under, Penned flourishes stamp.

You can see  an Opulence and Elegant Flourish chipboards, 

embossed with the new Sparkling navy embossing powder.

I'm glad that the Spring Peony matches my layout this well.  They surrounded my picture very nicely.

Spring blooms and a summer bloom complete my flowers clusterings.

Here again, ephemeras helped me a lot to build my focus point.

Finish with my usual paint splatters and that was it!

Finally, with the only Déjà Vu paper that I had in my stash:  Lustre :)

Here again, clear gesso, pearl modeling paste through a stencil.  

I have painted all my frame chipboards 

(Glam frame, Embellished frame, and one from Classic Mini frames set)

in white and then stamped with an Halftone stamp on them.

For my title, I used 2 different embossing powders: Sparkling navy and then, Lavender eggs.

A few Blue Fern Studios flowers here and there mixed with some others from my stash.

Above, the white one from Spring blooms

Under, the yellow one from Fresh florals, same as under my title :)

Really love how it goes all together :)

Joanne Bain - June Inspiration

Hi Everyone!!

Joanne here with you today sharing some projects created with the gorgeous new Tattered Walls Collection. This collection is amazing!! I love the rich colours and textures of the papers in this collection.

'Memories'

This layout was inspired by the rusty stains of the patterned paper. I really loved the colour and texture of this paper and found it perfect to create a page for my little man.

To create my main cluster I used quiet a few pieces of Blue Fern chipboard. The background started with the honeycomb bits chipboard. All of the chipboard and flower were coloured with rust paste to give that old rustic feel to my page.

I fussy cut the leaves from the Reading Room patterned paper and layered in between the flower and chipboard layers. The colour of the leaves perfectly complimented my page.

To add extra texture to my page I added some cotton thread, frayed cheese cloth and some plastic mesh from an old onion bag.

To finish off my page I added a sprinkling of Poppy and Twig seedlings.

For my next project I chose to work with The Garage patterned paper. The blue colouring of this paper is gorgeous!

'This Moment'

This page has been created using many layers of chipboard and is super dimensional. The stars were covered with glue and Black Ice glitter applied. 

To create a bit of a grungy feel i once again coated a lot of the chipboard and flowers with rust paste.

The title chipboard was left natural as it was already a deep tan colour and complimented the page well. I have cut the This Moment part off of the title chipboard piece.

To create added texture i have added natural Jute string and cotton thread.

To finish off the page I have once again added a sprinkling of seedlings.

Tattered Walls - Layouts by Jessica

"Make Your Own Path"

Hi everyone!  I hope you are having a nice month so far.  I have three layouts featuring the beautiful Tattered Walls Collection to share with you for June.  My first one is "Make Your Own Path".  The background paper is Suite 204 from the Tattered Walls Collection.  Using matte gel, I used the Tattered Walls Ephemera in areas around the picture then lightly covered them with gesso to blend them into the background.  I love the new For the Birds Stamp in the Tattered Walls Collection.  I used the music notes from the stamp set on my background.

You can also see I created my own matting for the picture using Blue Fern Studios Stamps: London Chronicles Stamp and Journaling Cards Stamp then distressed the papers.  The white flowers you see are from the Spring Blooms set and the pink flowers are from the Summer Blooms set.

I love the new colors of seedlings for this collection!  For my layout, I used the Lavender seedlings and Lemonade seedlings lightly spread across my page.  I really love how the Lemonade seedlings are slightly transparent - they really add softness to a page.  You can also see the pretty new glitter Gilded Rose.  The frame on this side of the picture is actually a piece of the Tattered Walls Ephemera embossed twice with Napa Valley Embossing Powder.

The two pieces of chipboard shown below are from the Classic Mini Frames set in the Tattered Walls Collection.  They are both embossed with the new Napa Valley Embossing Powder.

"Today"

My second layout also features the Tatted Walls Collection.  My background paper is The Carpet.  I adhered the Tattered Walls Ephemera with matte gel to the background paper and added areas of gesso over them.  In addition, I used the Tattered Newsprint Stamp randomly on my background.

I created the matting behind the pictures using Blue Fern Studios stamps: London Chronicle Stamp and the new Flutter Music Stamp.  I love the new Embellished Frame Chipboard piece that I used behind my pictures.  I cut it in two pieces then embossed it with the gorgeous Sparkling Navy Embossing Powder.  Then I used the Crackle Texture Stamp and embossed the design with the Ivory Embossing Powder.

The white flowers on my layout are from the Spring Blooms set, while the blue flowers are part of the Heartland Blossoms set.  Here you can see a piece of the Lace 7B behind the flowers.  The green seedlings are Fir Tree and the purple are the new Lavender Seedlings.

The purple berries piece behind the flowers are from the Spring Peony and Berries flowers set.  Finally, here is a closer look at the bottom half of the Embellished Frame Chipboard piece with Sparkling Navy and Ivory Embossing Powders.

"Creating Yourself"

My final layout for June uses the Tattered Walls Collection in a dramatic way!  At the end of this post I added an outline of how I created my background.  The paper is the back side of the Suite 204 paper.  The butterflies on my background are from the Flutter Music stamp.  I cut Tattered Walls The Reading Room Paper into strips and used Tattered Walls Ephemera as a base for my background.  You can also see I ripped The Reading Room paper and used it as matting behind my picture.

The chain designs are from the For the Birds Stamp set and I embossed them with Napa Valley Embossing Powder.  The Tattered Newsprint Stamp was also used with black solvent ink randomly on my layout.  The pink seedlings on my background are the new Maroon Seedlings.  I also added small amounts of Gilded Rose Glitter in areas on my background.

I cut the Briella's Mini Frame Chipboard into two pieces for the left side of the picture.  For the chipboard on my page, I applied two coats of gesso first.  Then I used the Crackle Texture Stamp with Napa Valley Embossing Powder to emboss the design.  I then painted over it with black watercolor paint.

The large flower is from the Spring Peony & Berries Set.  I took apart the flower in the set and made a smaller version of the flower from the top three sections of petals.  The other teal flower is actually a set of petals from a flower in the Summer Blooms Set.  I took apart the flower and folded it to make it look like a little rose bud.  The white flower here is from the Homespun Blooms Set.  I added Gilded Rose Glitter on the white flower and Marine Glitter on the teal flowers.

In this picture, I used the Elegant Flourish Chipboard piece and cut it into three different pieces to use on the right side of my picture.  The white flower is from the Apricot Blooms set and I made another teal rosebud for the right side of my picture from the Summer Blooms set.

Background Creation - Outline: 

To begin, I chose the Tattered Walls Suite 204 paper, covered it with clear gesso, then used the Flutter Music Stamp with a black solvent ink pad to add the butterflies on the background.  To soften the butterflies, I applied diluted gesso on my background.

I cut the Tattered Walls The Reading Room paper into strips and adhered them and some Tattered Walls Ephemera with matte gel.  After that, I used a pallet knife and randomly added gesso over the strips of paper.

Next I chose a stencil with modeling paste to add more texture.  Using several shades of pink and purple mists, I outlined parts of the strips of paper and spritzed it with water to let the ink run a bit.  I let it air dry then used a pink mist to splatter over my page and I let the splatters air dry.  To soften some of the splatters, you can spritz water on them while wet.

Then I used the Tattered Newsprint Stamp with a black solvent ink pad in several places on my background.  Finally, using the chain from the stamp set For the Birds, I embossed the design up and down the page with the new Napa Valley Embossing Powder.

June "Tattered Walls" Pages by Sharon!

Hi everyone!  I am thrilled to be here today sharing three new scrapbook pages that I made using the gorgeous "Tattered Walls" paper collection:

To me, this is a "must-have" collection for any scrapbooker.  It is so versatile and each and every page is absolutely beautiful.  So without further ado, here are my layouts . . .

Layout #1:  Family

I decided to use the cool "Powder Room" paper:

One of my favorite parts of making this page was using the "Stone Cottage" chipboard piece.

  I decorated it with Taupe and Blue Sky embossing powder

And I did the same with the Chipboard "Family" word, too.

Here's a different view:

I especially liked scrapping a treasured family photo of the four of us using this beautiful collection.  

Blue Fern Product List:

Paper: Tattered Walls "the Powder Room"

Chipboard: Stone Cottage, "Family"

Embossing Powder: Taupe, Sky Blue

Layout #2:  Sweet Memories

I came across some old photos from my wedding day, and just had to scrap this one!

I used the stunning "Maid's Rom" paper:

Here is a close up so that you can get a better look:

The "Glam Frame" and "Memories" chipboard pieces worked well here.  And the taupe embossing powder is a dream to work with!

Also, I stamped the musical notes and embossed directly on my page using the 

"For the Birds" stamp set:

Layout #3:  Our Story

I used the other side of "the Maid's Room" paper because it resembled a book and went perfectly with my "Our Story" theme, which is based on my daughter's love for each other.

The centerpiece of this page is this beautiful "Fancy Love" stamp set:

I embossed directly on my page, and stamped over the embossing in black to bring out "Love One Another" better:

And here is a different view:
