April Inspiration - Megan

Hi Blue Fern Fans :)

Today I have two layouts to share with you, and one storage solution :) and for each project Ive used a different collection.
I recently found this photo hiding in my photo stash and had to use it; my wee Dougal <3 when he was a puppy peering over the temporary gate - he's 14 now!
This project uses two pieces of Optimistic from the new In the Mood Collection.


To create the background I have cut several of the 'diamonds' from the second piece of paper, inked the edges with a grey ink pad and popped them up with foam dots.  Ive also splattered pink and white paint over the page, and randomly stamped with grey ink.  The heart at the centre of the title has been painted pink and then covered in glitter.


I used two different chipboard designs, one to enhance the focal point of my photo and the other to give extra depth and interest to the page.  Each piece uses a different embossing powder which helps separate each piece from the other.


Printed chipboard is so versatile, here Ive just taken two of the printed chipboard pieces and layered them on top of each each, and Ive also used the circle pieces to help pop the photo up, giving more depth, and leaving just enough out for extra embellishment.


Products Used

Patterned Paper: 
In The Mood - Optimistic

Printed Chipboard:
In the Mood

Glitter:
Pink Diamond

Chipboard:
Chelsea Vines

My second project uses two more cute boys ;) and this time the Wanderlust Collection.  The paper I used is Memento.


This time my background was created by spreading clear gesso over it and when dry spritzing with water and using different powders.  Again I have randomly stamped all around my composition.


Layers beneath the photo were created using the Calling Cards, and popping chipboard scraps between the layers.  A little chipboard can go a long way - I had one piece of Printer Bits left - I chopped this into three pieces, layering each piece on top of the Circle Groups chipboard.  The filmstrip was also a scrap piece left over.


Here you can see the depth created by all the layers.


The chipboard was embossed with Hot Cocoa and Wheat embossing powders.  The Beaded String and the filmstrip were coloured using rust pastes.

For my third and final project I wanted to create something to store my bottles of seedlings, embossing powders and glitters and I found the drawers at our local Warehouse.   This time I used the Remnants Collection.


Highgate patterned paper was used to cover the sides and the top of the drawers.  The white and grey woven pattern on the drawers was already there, I just covered the drawer handles with glitter.


To give the butterfly dimension, I sprayed it with water and curved the wings while wet.  When it was dry it was simply painted.


The berries on the end of the leaves I dipped in seedlings - they look like grapes!


The flourish underneath the cluster was from the Printed Chipboard set - this was simply painted to match the overall colour scheme.

I also made a stamp Blooms and Stems and Owls and Birdson the tracing paper and embossed this with Imagine Ink Lilac embossing powder. Then I cut them out by contour.

Grungy Art Journaling- By Keren Tamir



Hi Everyone,
Its Keren here with two new projects for the Blue Fern Studios blog.
As I usually create layouts, I really wanted to to create something different that comes from my heart.
I felt art journaling was the best way to express how I feel and to experiment with the chipboards, embossing powders and glitters.

I also really wanted to create grungy mixed media pages so I added lots of texture and movement.


"Imagination"


First I inked the background in green and yellow tones. Then I stamped the background using the Journey and Textured circles stamps.


The circle was created using thick texture paste. Then I sprinkled embossing powder on it and heat dried it. Finally I glued the beaded string chipboard piece that was embossed in verdant and seven seas embossing powder.
The Serendipity imagination title was embossed in the 14 Karat embossing powder.


I also used the lattice bits on my page which were embossed in seven seas, verdant and 14 karat embossing powders, too. The heart was embossed only in the 14 Karat embossing powder.
I also sprinkled some Fool's gold glitter on the background.



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

"Inspiration"

This is my second grungy texture mixed media journaling page.
This time I used a different set of colours and textures.



The tattered diamond bits chipboard was embossed in raspberry embossing powder. The Serendipity Inspiration word was embossed in the poinsettia embossing powder.




Thank you so much for visiting the Blue Fern Studios Blog

Have a wonderful day!!

Frolic inspiration from Elena Morgun

Hello friends!

The weekend is around the corner. And I would like to inspire you with some new projects. Today I have prepared a layout with a video tutorial and ATC set.

This layout I created for a friend as a present. Her son's photo was my main inspiration. I decided to create layers with the help of chipboards. I painted them with Silks this time. I love the color transitions I got here. The layout turned out very shiny.
