July inspirations by Jennifer Jacques

Hello Blue fern studio's fans!

Here are my three inspirations for July.  
I'll start with the latest collection: Tattered walls.

Here i used "Suite 204" as my background.  Primed it with clear gesso, then added some textures with paste and sprays.  Also, some random stamping with Tattered Newsprint and the little border in the Flutter music set.

My title is from the Captured words set and is covered with the beautiful Gilded Rose glitters

Also, you can see under my focal point some pieces of Rose wreath chippies.  It is simply altered with black gesso and some waxes.


I finished this layout by adding some gorgeous BFS Flowers:
Above (in the corner) Homespun blossoms
Divided on each side from Remnants florals
and the Fuschia one is from Summer Blooms.

Some others flowers from my stash, stones and finally, Red grape seedlings as final touches.

Lots of Tattered walls Ephemeras were used here.  My chippie title is covered with Caribbean glitters... A fairy color I think...Really love that one


Finally, some flowers such as Fresh florals, flair, white splatters and that was it.

My title is a chippie form the Seasons set, simply colored with a teal spray.


Some cheesecloth to set my focal point, a mix of Aquamarine and Wintergreen seedlings with some art stones, some flowers from my stash among some BFS ones such as Fresh florals (yellow, bottom left picture corner), Summer blooms (teal one but a little bit modified to fit in my clustering) and Christmas blooms (under upper left picture corner).  Some white splatters as final touches and voilà!

March Inspirations by Catherine Giguère

Hello Blue Fern Studios Fans! Here's my turn to share my March projects with you. This month, I had the chance to work with the brand new Spring Parade collection. I did two layouts with it. I love the pastel colors of it and I hope you'll like it too!

'Sparkles'


For this layout, I used 'Hushed' paper from the BFS Tranquility collection. I did a very textured background with stencil, modeling paste, BFS Serendipity Stamp, microbeads, beads and flakes.


I embossed my BFS chipboards 'Folkart Frame' and 'Classic Ornaments' with the BFS embossing powder 'Garnet'. I glued the 'Folkart Frame' on my picture and I cuted in halfs the 'Classic Ornaments' and put them under my picture to make dimension.


I embossed my title 'Sparkles' with BFS 'Nutmeg' embossing powder.

I embossed the BFS chipboards 'Swirly Circle' and 'Ginger Poppies' with BFS 'Oatmeal' embossing powder. 


I cut my chipboards 'Ginger Poppies' and put the pieces under my BFS flowers.




I embossed my title 'Capture the Moment' with BFS embossing powder 'Nutmeg' to make it stand out.

I embossed my title 'Magnifique' from the BFS chipboard kit 'French Adjectives 1' with the BFS 'Morning Sun' embossing powder. Then, I add many BFS flowers.

February Projects for Lydia Guijt

 Hello Blue Fern Studios friends. 
It's Lydia here today showing you my 3 projects for February. 
So excited to be using the soon to be released Chesterville Collection. The first 2 layouts are made withe that and the third with the Serendipity Collection. Here goes!

Capture the Moment


For my back ground work I started off with using the Postal Textures Stamp and Antique Gold Embossing Powder to create some interest. After that I followed with a stencil and paste. 
The Swirly Doodle and Swirly Circle Chipboard pieces I embossed with Black Sand BFS Embossing Powder and the Roman Clock Set and Captured Words with Copper BFS Embossing Powder.


Once I had all the preparations done it was time to start layering. Adding Late Winter Lilies and other embellishments to get the layout together. Some finishing touches with some mists and ink splatters and we're done with the first one.

For my second layout with the Chestervile collection I used another picture from our trip to the Grand Canyon. The mountains fit perfectly with the colors of these papers. To make things pop I decided to go with a contrasting color. I had my eye on the gorgeous Peacock BFS Embossing Powder for the Manchester Frame. Working my way back to all the other accents with that.


For my background I used the stamp and embossing technique again. Going with the Scratched stamp and Antique Gold BFS Embossing Powder. Followed by a stencil and paste, some misting and ink splatters. 


The Notebook Edges chipboard piece I embossed with Black Sand BFS Embossing Powder. The Seasonal Wild Flowers and Journey, Explore, Discover chipboard pieces with Oatmeal BFS Embossing Powder. Adding Autumn Glitter to the tips. With this all prepared I cut some pieces of paper from the Chester and Holmes papers to create some layers adding the chipboard pieces and Dark Tropic Lilies and other embellishments to finish of the layout. A final touch of ink splatters and we're done.

Memories Captures


For my last layout this month I chose the brighter color scheme of the Serendipity Collection. Getting ready for Spring this part of the world. 


For the back ground I started with stamping around the page with a combination of stamps, Postal Textures, Christmas Collage & Shabby Edges. Followed by a stencil using an assortment of pastes. The gorgeous Janie's Frame chipboard piece was embossed with Oatmeal BFS Embossing Powder. After it was done I cut it through half to position on either side of the page. 


I fuzzy cut some pieces from the Merriment sheet to use on the layout and several butterflies. Assembling it all I used an assortment of BFS Flowers : Dark Tropc LiliesSoft Blossoms & Courtship Roses. Adding some final touches with some Burnt Copper Sunshine Glitter for a bit of extra sparkle and we're done.

Three layouts, three collections by Marie-Eve Bernard

Hello,

I hope you enjoy summer and spending time outside with your family and friends....but also have some time to be creative!  There is some inspiration for you!  I play with three different collections of papers.

Jubilation:

This layout feature my parents and my oldest daughter.  She is  so happy when they are around!  We have the chance to have them near, so we often have some quality time with them! To create this layout, I use the Tranquility and the Attic charm paper collections.


For my background, I use the Serenity paper from the Tranquility Collection.  Then I randomly cut the Stillness paper (Tranquility collection) and the Calling cards paper (Attic Charm Collection). I glue those pieces on the background paper to had texture.  Then, I cover the hole thing with clear gesso and had some white gesso randomly.  When dry, I had some stamping with the Serenity Medley Stamp set and the Arcadia Texture stamp set.  Finally, I play with my inks.


For my title, I use the Blissful, Jubilation, Patience chipboard set.  I emboss it with the Imagine Ink Cotton Candy Embossing powder. To had texture to my creation, I use the Mesh Bits Chipboard set.  On this set, I had Imagine Ink Watermelon glitter.



On my layout, I use a variety of flowers.  I use some Courtship Blooms and Attic Charm Daisies.  The others where flowers from my stash.

Capture The Moment:

On this picture, you can see my two daughters ready for there dance show!  They love dance classes and the show, at the end of the season, is a moment that they are waiting for!  They are so proud.  I use the Tranquility Collection.


On this Layout, I use the Calm and the Jubilation paper from the Tranquility collection. I use both sides of those papers.  I tear them and glue them on a old and ugly paper from my stash (certainly not Blue Fern one! LOL). I recover the surface with clear gesso.  Then, i stamp with the Forever Stamp set and the Vintage Edges stamp set.  I had color with various blues inks.  Surrounding my picture, I use the Keepsake Frame Chipboard.  I cut it in two to make it wider.  I leave it natural, just had a little bit of with gesso with a dry brush.


For my title, I use the Captured Words chipboard set.  I Emboss it with the Imagine Ink In the Navy Embossing Powder. 



I use some Courtship Blooms and Tranquil Roses and lilies flowers from  Blue Fern. The printed ones are from my stash. The leaves are from the Natural springs Chipboard set.  I emboss the leaves in Imagine Ink Lime Embossing powder first. Then I had a touch of Imagine Ink Sage Embossing Powder


In the top corner, I use a piece from the Framed Trinquet Chipboard set.  Live it natural, but had a tiny bit of white gesso with a dry brush.


Blissful:

For my last creation, I use the Serenity Paper Collection.  This picture of Mathilde and me was taken at the airport, just before we take the plane for our last family vacation in France.  It was a very joyful moment.  What a good memory!


For my creation, I use 3 papers from the Serenity collection:  Reminisce, Calling cards and Contemplation.


On my background, I stamp with the Garden frolic Stamp set and the Arcadia Texture stamp set. I emboss the Garden frolic stamp with the Imagine Ink Petal Embossing powder.  For my title, I use the Blissful, Jubilation, Patience chipboard set.  I emboss it with the Imagine Ink Mushroom Embossing powder


To add texture to the layout, I use the Floral Lattice Bits chipboard set and leave it unaltered. The frame i use is the Circle Vine chipboard.  I emboss it with Imagine Ink Petal Embossing powder


Thanks for watching!  See you next month and don't forget to enjoy summer!  It is going so fast!
