Blue Fern Studios "Dreamer" Layout

Hey everyone!  My new layout is for the Mixed Media & Art Challenge for March and is titled "Dreamer".

I almost exclusively used Blue Fern Studios products for this layout (you can see the list of products below).  Here is the inspiration board for Mixed Media & Art:

I love the colors and theme this month.  I added some little embellishments from my stash to tuck them under the picture.  There are a lot of flowers (something I don't usually do) but the Blue Fern Studios Harvest Lilies set were perfect for this layout and theme.  Here are my closeups:

"Adore" Layout for Words and Paintery featuring Blue Fern Studios Products

Hi everyone!  There is a unique mood board for the Words and Paintery this month that I couldn't pass up.  Here is my newest layout titled "Adore" featuring many Blue Fern Studios products.  At the end of the post, I listed all of their products I used.

Here is the challenge and link to the challenge:

I chose to focus on the yellow and orange and splatter just a bit of blue around the edges of the focal point and picture.  For the background I used the Tattered Newsprint stamp in spots along with Fuzzy Naval Peach and Bit 'o Bubbly from Lindy's Stamp Gang.  The blue is Prima Color Bloom Spray Glistening Waves.

I used several pieces of chipboard here from Blue Fern Studios.  The two under the picture are Blue Willow Flower and Regal Ornaments.  The title Adorable is also Blue Fern Studios embossed with Coral and Copper embossing powder.

To the left and under the picture I used Blue Fern Studios Lace #10 and added some Mini Prills in spots below the picture.

The flowers around the picture are Blue Fern Studios Apricot Blossoms and some Ivory Wild Orchid Crafts Rose and Magnolias that I colored.

Here are the Blue Fern Studios Products that I used:

Blue Fern Studios "Perfect" Layout

"Perfect"

My final project for Blue Fern Studios this month is a very basic layout using some of the the In the Mood Collection along with other collections.  The background paper is Amused from the In the Mood Collection.  I created the background with modeling paste, stencil, and black spray stain.  Then I stamped it with the Tattered Newsprint stamp.

The two white roses are from the Garden Blooms set and the other flowers are from the Apricot Blooms set.  For each flower on the page, I used matte gel on the tips of the flowers and sprinkled Mocha glitter on the tips.  For the Apricot Blooms, I removed the flower stamens and replaced them with a pearl using matte medium then sprinkled Gold Nugget seedlings around the pearls.

To go along with the glitter theme, I used Black & Gold embossing powder as part of the matting behind the photo.  Under the picture the Lace 10 adds a nice soft touch to the layout.

The Lattice Panel chipboard and Perfect chipboard title were first coated in gesso, then I painted them with a very concentrated white acrylic paint.  Finally, I used the Crackle Textures stamp with Coral embossing powder to add interest to the chipboard.

Here are the products I used for this layout:

Blue Fern Studios Canvas - In the Mood

"In the Mood"

For my second project this month on the Blue Fern Studios blog, I stepped outside my comfort zone and tried a shabby chic canvas.  I used a ton of Blue Fern Studios products from this collection for the canvas!  

The main heart on the canvas is the Blissful paper from the In the Mood Collection.  The red frame and black heart to the top left of the canvas are Printed Chipboard pieces from the In the Mood Collection.  The design on the black heart is the Penned Flourishes stamp embossed with Pure Red embossing powder.

Lace 3B is the black lace that I embossed with Black & Gold embossing powder.  The circle floral frame was also embossed with the Black & Gold embossing powder.  Lace 12 is at the top left of the canvas and very elegant.  

Beating Heart and Gold Nugget seedlings were applied with matte gel over some cheesecloth.  I used a stencil with glass bead gel to the top left side of the canvas then sprinkled some Mocha glitter over the design.

The large white rose in the center of the cluster is from the Garden Blooms set, while the pink flowers are from the Moody Florals set.

To fill in spots on my canvas I used some old roses from my stash and put gesso on the tips and sprinkled with Rose Gold glitter.

Here are the products I used:

"Adorable" Layout - Blue Fern Studios March Inspiration

"Adorable"

Hi everyone!  My first project I would like to share with you is titled "Adorable".  This is my grandpa's picture of Shirley Temple when he was stationed at Hawaii.  I used the Memoires Collection paper for my background along with the Photographic Record paper and Calling Cards paper to layer behind the photograph.

I sprinkled Twig seedlings over matte gel and a stencil.  Here you can also see that I used two pieces of Lace 12 behind the photo and the paper layers.

The long chipboard piece is the Destiny Collage chipboard that I originally embossed with Black Gold embossing powder for a different project but changed my mind (lol).  So over that embossing powder, I embossed the chipboard with Pure Red and Seven Seas embossing powders.  Using the Crackle Textures stamp, I embossed the areas with Ivory embossing powder.

For the Adorable chipboard title and the Bits of Honey chipboard pieces, I used brown distress ink to color the pieces then used the Crackle Textures stamp with Dark Chocolate embossing powder over areas of the chipboard.  The small blue flowers are from the Chesterville Blooms set.  In several areas around the page, I sprinkled a bit of Russett glitter and Blue Ice glitter over matte gel.

And finally, you can see a close-up of the Bits of Honey chipboard and the piece of Lace 12.

"Colors of Spring" Canvas Board

Hi everyone!  My newest creation is a canvas board that is titled "Colors of Spring".  I created it for the Mixed Media World March challenge.  Designing for Blue Fern Studios means I couldn't help but use a lot of their beautiful products.  You can find a list of their products that I used at the end of this blog post.  Please visit the Blue Fern Studios blog for inspiration from the design team.

Here are my closeups and angle shots:

I hope this canvas board put you in the mood for spring!  Thanks for taking a look at my project today. :-)
