February Projects by Babi

Hi Everyone,

Today it's my turn to share with you my new projects with the upcoming collection Chesterville.  It's such a beatiful grunge style collection and  it will be available soon for you to work with it.

I used the Chesterville - Bretton and Whitford papers to create my first project, called "Smile Today".



I applied some texture paste with stencil, watercolor and paint to create a more girly background.

Then, I covered  the Manchester Frame Chipboard with Antique Gold and Fern embossing powder and acrylic paint.


I finished  the layout with some gorgeous paper flowers - Spring  and Late Winter Lilies.  



Supplies using Blue Fern Studios:
Papers: Chesterville - Bretton  and Whitford 
Chipboard: Manchester Frame
Embossing Powder: Fern and Antique Gold
Flowers: Spring and Late Winter Lilies

--------------

My next projet is a  mini album  that I made with several papers from  Chesterville collection. You can check the names in the supplies list.

For the Cover I used the Chesterville GeorgeChester and Holmes  papers.



I used the Texture Wildflowers for the coverthen I embossed it  with  Antique Gold (a must have :)) and Fern Embossing Powder.

I stamped on a vellum paper a few images of the  Widget Stamp and added  Snow Embossing Powder to it.


To finish, I added some embellishments, gesso and watercolor to create more dimension.






Now I would like to share my video tutorial that shows  how I decorated the cover for my mini album. You can see the whole project at the end of the video.

February Inspirations by Catherine Giguère

Hello Blue Fern Studios Fans! I am so excited to share three new projects with you! This month, I had the chance to work with the soon to come Chesterville paper collection. This collection is absolutely gorgeous, it's a must have, trust me! First, let me show you my first layout I did with the Attic Charm collection.

'Incroyable'

I used the paper Attic Charm 'Sachet' to start this project. First, I made a textured background with a stencil and modeling paste. I used pink and yellow inks to add colors on my background. I also add details with the 'Vintage Phrase' and 'Essential Textures' stamps and black ink.


Then, I embossed my chipboard 'Leaf Swirled Frame' with BFS Imagine Ink Embossing Powder 'Cotton Candy'.  I used pieces of Attic Charm 'Calling Cards' paper to put under my picture. 


I add a lot of Blue Fern Studios flowers around my picture.

Plaisir (Pleasure) by Edith Cloutier

Hello Blue Fern Fans!  We welcome back our March Fan of the Month, Edith Cloutier.  You're going to love her second layout of the month.  The colors are beautiful, and the photo is amazing.  Everything just comes together so well.  

From Edith, describing her layout:


I used “George” paper from the new hottest collection Chesterville for my layout. I added texture paste to emboss with “Blue Fern Wheat Embossing Powder”. I used the same embossing powder on my title. 


I like to use some pieces of chipboard to add some dimension. Flowers were perfect to decorate my creation. On the final touch, I used glitters (Merlot) with glass beads and micro beads.





Paper:
Chesterville - George
 
Chipboard:
Boston Lattice
Turkish Bits
French Words
 
Flowers :
Attic Charm – Glitter Roses
Courtship Roses
Spring Lilies

Heartland with Daria

Today we are excited to once again feature our "Blue Fern Fan of the Month", Daria Makarova.  For this week's layout, Daria has used the lovely "Sweet on You " paper from the Heartland Collection.



Daria used this paper "because it is very beautiful and romantic".  She has added some texture paste and a few layers of paper to build the background.  The chipboard pieces (Quatrefoil Panel and Chesterville Collage) have been painted, then embossed using Blue Fern Wheat Embossing Powder.


The leaf accents are from a stamped image that was embossed with Wheat Embossing Powder, then cut out and tucked behind the photo.



Daria has added flowers from the Heartland Roses and Blooms, Spring Lilies, and Courtship Roses.  Sprinkled throughout her layout you can also see where she has stamped bits of the Royale Collage Stamp.



A big thank you to Daria for using the Heartland Collection in such a gorgeous way.
Be sure to check back next week when we will have another layout from Daria!
