Lots of Blue Fern Studios goodness with Bente.

Hi there friends of Blue Fern Studios.
 I am so happy you came to see what I have prepared for you this time :-) Winter is now definitely upon us and what more perfect collection to use for those crisp winter photos than the beautiful Vintage Christmas.

My first page showcases a couple of older photos of my youngest daughter as I wanted to scrap pictures with snow .This year it hasn't snowed yet :-) Sorry the pictures are not great. It's pretty dark up here in the Nordic countries at the moment :-) 



I used the Holiday Vine chipboard and the title Sparkle is from the Winter Titles set.

Here are a couple of close ups:












I used the Petal embossing powder as well as the Pyrite glitter to embellish my page.

My next project is an alterd frame. It was so much fun to make.




 I painted one of the  words from the Delight set and also one of the Vintage Labels. 
The perforated arrow is from the Directions set. The paper collection is Autumn Anthology.




To top off this creation I used the beautiful Ornate Shelf as something similar to a roof.




This next layout you may recognize as it was part of this months sketch reveal  HERE.




Even here I used Vintage Christmas. The French Ironwork-chipboard behind my photos is such a stunning piece! This time I painted it gold and used one of the Blue Fern Studios Texture stamps
 to emboss it.







 I used a mixture of hnd made and bought flowers.
Of course I used the Vintage Christmas papers even for the flowers! :-)




And then my last  page for today,also with the latest collection and some more fabulous chipboard!




I used the Chain link panel ,just lightly covered in gesso and the Framed Winter Words with some added glitter. Here is a closer look at some details :




Again I used a mixture of store bought and handmade flowers using the beautiful red Deck the Halls sheet




I love the look of the chipboard panel peeking out from behind the beautiful paper :-)



That was all for today, well done if you made it all the way to the end!!

I wish you all a wonderful wek end. I knowI am really looking forward to some free time!
Thanks for looking!!

Layouts Featuring Paisely & Vine By Debbie

Hi everyone, Debbie here with you today to share some layouts I created using the Paisley & Vine Collection which was introduced a few weeks ago.  I love the warm tones of the papers.

On  my first layout I used Bohemian, Nature, Vineland and Playing Card papers and added some masking, misting, paints and microbeads.

The Circle Flourish Chipboard surrounds my photo.  I first applied some gesso to the chipboard and then added some misting, water colors, gelatos and microbreads.

I painted a piece of the Quartre Foil chipboard with some yellow and blue paints and added more microbeads and tucked the chipboard behind the flowers.

Here I've used a piece from the Layering Stems chipboard, which I painted with watercolors and gelatos and added more of the blue microbeads.

My next layout was based on the July sketch.
I used the Nature, Pathway, Splendor, Passion and Playing Card papers along with some masking and inking.

 I incorporated 2 chipboard pieces as a base for my picture, Frills Panel and Vintage Labels.  Both pieces were embossed using a number of products to achieve the aged look.

Tuked beneath the flowers is a Leafy Page Accent and Mini Rings chipboard.  Both of which I embossed and inked.

More pieces of the Mini Ring Things chipboard with some gold microbeads.

My final layout you saw earlier in the month on the blog, again using papers from the Paisley and Vine Collection.
I used the Whimsy paper as my background, which I lightly
applied light pink ink around the outside of the paper.  I also used Playing Card and Passion papers from the collection.


I inked the chipboard Perfect with some dark red ink and placed pieces of the Framington Medley chipboard, which I embossed with white powder and added some blue ink around my picture.

A gorgeous Royal Monarch chipboard butterfly embossed white and placed within a flower cluster is the perfect touch!

I hope you enjoy my layouts!

Thanks for stopping by!

"Cherish' layout and video tutorial

Hello friends!

It is the month of June now and the summer is upon us! I'm looking forward to spending some time with the kiddos this month as school is out. What about you?

Today I have a video tutorial for Blue Fern Studios to share with you, using their new fabulous collection Deja Vu as well as their gorgeous chippies.

Here is the project:



I've focused a lot more on chipboard alteration for this project rather than creating my background, simply because the products are just so pretty!

Some close-ups:



My title piece "Cherish". I'm loving black gesso and how it makes the chipboard pops!



The butterfly dangle from "Deja Vu Dangles". Such a sweet little piece to work with. 




Vintage Label chipboard which I had fun stamping with the new Blue Fern stamp.

And here is the video of how I put the whole thing together:



Blue Fern products used:

Deja Vu collection (Atelier, La Plume, Tresors, Luxor)
Deja Vu Dangles Chippies
"Cherish" word
Vintage Labels
Journey Stamp
Half-tone Stamp

And that's all I have, thanks for dropping by!

love,

Layouts with Déja Vu collection by Keren Tamir



I'm excited to showcase my projects today at the Blue Fern Studios Blog. 
I've used the Deja Vu collection for both these layouts.
Both layouts were created on the same background but with two different colour schemes which shows the paper's versatility.

"Sweetheart"


Although its spring, my first project is snow filled with earthy colours.
I framed my daughter's picture in the Winter flake frame which I personally designed for Blue Fern Studios. I covered it randomly with cream coloured embossing powder and then inked it in brown.


The background was stamped with the Deja Vu Stamps, the vintage edges stamp and the journey stamp. All were inked with brown distress ink.
Finally I used the Sweetheart word from the Lovebirds set.


<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

"Perfect photo op"


Thie second layout was also stamped in the background with a new BFS stamp. I used the widgets stamp to create the texture in the background.


This is an old picture of my son. He must be 3 years old here. I framed it in one of the vintage labels chipboard pieces which I coloured in green distress ink. I also used the seaweed chipboard to add as an embellishment. 



Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios blog!!
Have a wonderful day!!

Playing with darks and lights - by Zanka.

Hello friends!
I must say, I prefer to use light background for my layout rather than the dark ones. But the pattern of Bountiful (Sanctuary) is so elegant, that I just HAD TO give it a go.
So here is my layout with the dark background.
'SMILE'

I have used quite a lot of light elements for more contrast, I've even drawn leaves and branches with the white ink pen.
BFS chipboards used: Laughter, Happy , Smile; Turkish bits, Meadow Angelica, Lace rounds.

'XOXO'
With my second layout shared today, I'm back into my comfort zone, meaning light backgrounds :)
I used the new Deja vu collection, patterned paper and stamps.


I have used paper Tresors for this project. I have cut the paper in one-third and then glued it together again, arranging the border pattern in the middle (I learned this trick from Elena, who showed it in her tutorial here)
I have used the chipboards mainly to add dimension and texture.
BFS chipboards used: XOXO, Vintage labels, Gatsby collage.
Stamps: Halftone, Vintage edges.

Thanks for visiting BFS blog, enjoy !
